I have been preaching about Emacs for about two years now, ever since I started using it. It is by far my top used program on my PC. I have been to meetups about it, I write emails about it, I read books and articles on it, I share my dotfiles with others who are interested in setting a package up like I do. At this point, I am too dependant on Emacs to not write an article about it.

In this article, I want to tell you how it came to be, what I like and dislike about it, and I will try to convince you to try Emacs…

The way I see it, my personal choice of programming language for the purposes of teaching boils down to (in no particular order):
My choices are based on a couple of criteria…

There seems to be a giant misconception about Matrix. The protocol, and its clients. Due to the news emerging on Discord and its future, it seems as if many people are looking for a new ’home’. Stoat, Rocket.chat, mattermost and what not are always recommended; however I have the feeling that every time Matrix is recommended that it’s immediately shot down from someone saying ’it doesn’t work’, or ’its not like discord’. As if rocket.chat is anything like Discord. The arguments usually seem to be that the channels are not working properly, there are permission issues, or that there’s no screen sharing/video calling…
I slowly have nothing left to configure. So before I start completely breaking my stuff or – god forbid – switch to Gentoo, I’ll start with some light blogging. It started on my website, but I think I will move it on here for now. On the side, nice and relaxed!…
