Too bad Emacs doesn’t have a good text editor.
- Evil mode helps with that
  
  Modalka for me. It has exactly what you want and no more, which also makes it a lot easier to learn: useful for me that I'm not a programmer.
eMacs takes a life time to learn, so the sooner you start, the longer it will take.
Upvote just for "melon husk" 😂
There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
- Elon is racing him to see who can collapse a thousand-year social media platform the fastest
Emacs is the GOAT computing environment.
- I couldn't help but think of Emacs when I was reading A Constructive Look At TempleOS. It's like TempleOS that is actually finished, it just lacks kernel.
  
  just lacks kernel.
  
  Sounds like a trademark of GNU tbh
  
  Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that deep dive into templeOS before and it is a much more interesting OS than I anticipated.
  
  I'm sure the port to TempleOS is being worked on as we speak
  
  So you're saying it's like the GNU operating system?
Surely Elon would prefer the old Lucid fork, https://www.xemacs.org/
What even is emacs
- An extremely extensible text editor, there's jokes that it can do literally anything, you can play music, watch video, etc.
  
  It's often at war with the cult of vi and the church of emacs.
  
  Don't forget us nanoites. The clearly superior text editor
  
  You should really convert to helixism, the latest messianic update to the cult of vi.
- Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping
  
  Esc-Meta-Alt-Ctrl-Shift
- A self-documenting, extensible lisp computing environment that uses text buffers as its main data format.
Which video player did you use?
- im a vim user, i dont usually put videos players in my text editor
  
  otherwise, i use mpv for desktop
  
  It's possible to watch videos in the terminal as ASCII art with both vlc and mplayer, by the way.
  
  Sorry mate, my tired brain interpreted the post in the picture as something you've written :)
Late 30s dev here: I've never cared to learn emacs or vim, tried when younger, but left it. Am I a fraud?
- I used to be a vim fan but now I only use it for modifying files over SSH. Other than that I code with an IDE, you can't beat all the plugins and linters with a in-terminal editor. A colleague still codes in emacs and its code is dirty af.

  PEBKAC - don't blame emacs (not sure why anyone would use it when vim exists, though)
  
  I mean, I use a plugin manager for Neovim myself, and you can pretty much configure it to however you like.
  
  Someone even make an inline markdown preview for the editor using sixels (in terminal image display).
  
  but still I prefer the markdown preview plugin as it previews the file using a browser is format rly similar to github's styles
What's emac?
- It's an iMac with electronics in it.
- It's like a Big Mac but with emu meat.
- Ain't that one of them Mortal Kombat fighters?
  
  My fav one.
emaX
