@dnkl I had no idea, that's really helpful. :)

Denote, Citar and Biblio - a trio that is best described as a haven for anyone looking to unify the research process under the umbrella of Emacs.Thank you to all three authors and the general community for these gems.

@oatmeal I did, but I didn't actually use org-roam to its fullest extent so I couldn't really say if one package is better than the other. What made me try out Denote was the promise of simplicity and that's what made me stick with it. I have about twenty notes, give or take, in my denote directory so lookups are very quick at the moment.

@oatmeal You might want to take a look at xeft [1] if lookup performance is essential to you.1. https://sr.ht/~casouri/xeft/

Okay, I've tried out all sorts of free monospace fonts. I concluded that there is no such thing as "best", as you might have guessed.Emacs renders DejaVuSans Mono [1] beautifully and it looks even better with some added line-spacing (1 pixel). Foot looks delightful with Roboto Mono [2]. Sway and Qutebrowser pair really well with Inconsolata [3].1. https://github.com/dejavu-fonts/dejavu-fonts2. https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto3. https://github.com/googlefonts/Inconsolata What fonts do you use, and why?

@galdor May I suggest Borg? You're in full control of the revisions you check out but it requires a bit more effort than the other package managers.

@galdor Yeah, for what it's worth, it was very easy to get it set up after having read through the entirety of the manual. I think the idea in abstract can sound cumbersome but maintaining a Borg-based Emacs configuration is in practice not as time consuming as the manual might have you think.

@dnkl I found the lack of features to be a better trade-off when compared to the crazy level of detail, customization and complexity of lsp-mode.

@dnkl Is there a particular reason why you use Emacs in a terminal?

@dnkl I'm interested to hear why you run Artix. Is it the init system or something else entirely?

@galdor And if you find yourself working with Org's indirect buffers (aka Org Src), you can do this:(setq org-src-window-setup 'plain)(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist '("^\\*Org Src" (display-buffer-same-window)))

@galdor Awesome, it's always nice to discover the gems that one finds in other's display-buffer-alist.

@galdor I highly recommend using Protesilaos' Logos [1] package which improves on narrowing in a number of ways, most notably automatically narrowing as you navigate between pages.1. https://protesilaos.com/emacs/logos

@louis I have, for a little while now, started using a userscript [1] that automatically redirects youtube.com links to yewtu.be (or other Invidious instances). This is arguably the best way to access Youtube ever since these new, idiotic restrictions.1. https://git.sr.ht/~grtcdr/dotfiles/tree/main/item/qutebrowser/.local/share/qutebrowser/greasemonkey/invidious.js

@galdor Yes, the situation is indeed horrible. I'm starting to believe paying for a search service is the only answer.

@louis I've been using a single-screen setup for two years now. I've only recently figured out what the best default tiling layout for myself was, and it was tabbed all along. You should give it a try if your window manager supports it.

I feel so awkward explaining Mastodon and the Fediverse to people who have no prior knowledge of either. I've used phrases like: "imagine if you could run your own Facebook (ew) for your friends and family or join an existing community of like-minded people".I've explained all of these concepts time and time again, to people from various backgrounds, those in software engineering for example find the concepts of federation and decentralisation really interesting. Some find these concepts hard to grasp, while others find the extra step of finding the right community cumbersome.I understand that "X" social media platform is where people are, but, in the Fediverse, where people are can be any one of Y, Z, or whatever; all of us can communicate under different jurisidictions.I'd really like to know the examples you've used to introduce the Fediverse to your peers and friends.
