Rediscovering the Small Web

"Today's web is mostly commercial. The smaller web of individuals has neither the resources nor the will to compete for visibility and audience the way the commercial web does"

Another great post by @neustadt - welcome to Mastodon by the way, a part of the new small web!

Stuck at home and need something to learn? Embark on the journey of a lifetime and give #Emacs a try! https://gnu.org/software/emacs/

As a long time #vim user, I've recently switched to #emacs, particularly for #orgmode. Transitioning between them was a bit confusing, so I wrote a small blog post answering some questions I had while trying to figure out how to think about using emacs

https://jrhawley.github.io/2020/03/08/emacs

Hot damn, Emacs hasn't ceased to amaze me yet. The more you figure out how it works, the more you realize how powerful it is. And I know I'm still just scratching the surface. Today, I'm executing my JS work and viewing/filtering my csv output, all with a few keystrokes inside Emacs. I've barely had to leave Emacs today. Just to do some web searches in Firefox (yes I know about ewww), and to post this status from toot tui.

Oh look ...
a Mastodon client ...
for Emacs...

I just got home and found SO MUCH STUFF! in the mail. Mostly stickers.

Updating #UbuntuTouch #ubports #linux you don’t have to throw old phones away, they can be repurposed depending on the model. One of these was an #Android phone, now it’s free and running #linux. #reuse #recycle #eco

Please remember that #Git is by nature distributed. So when migrating from (for example) #GitHub to (for example) #GitLab please, please, please do NOT create a brand new repository and git add the files, or the entire commit history will be lost. Instead, just push the existing repository to your new hosting service.
