@nnungest also:

Eshell and Tramp are generally known, but they actually stack! Right now I'm 30 miles away from home, but I can `cd` back into my main desktop and run commands from either environment. Emacs optimizes the connection, of course.

> "Would you pay yearly for an distro?"

Well no, but actually heck no.

What do y'all think?

Curious what y'all think about Email. I personally avoid it as much as practical. Also curious where the age distribution falls and any testimonials as to what formed your opinion.

An electric guitar or violin is a normal instrument that makes sound with strings, which are amplified electrically.

An "electric piano" is a computer with piano keys that are mapped to synthesized notes. There are no strings. It just plays the sound (yes I am aware that modern "electric piano"s have sensitive keys that account for speed, force, etc).

This does not make sense to me.

We should call the "electric piano" the "Electronic Piano" or just "synthesizer". I'd even float the term "Fake Piano", but that seems reductive. They're real instruments, just not real pianos.

Just discovered `(require 'em-tramp)`!

It adds a Sudo command to Eshell so you don't have to put in the password every time.

How do you deal with someone you want to help, but they're just so dumb and helpless and just want you to solve their problem for them?

Also they don't know the difference between "download" and "install"...?!

Guess I'd best not waste my time...

is love. is life. is like if you had an infinite pocket dimension and built your house there but the door opens into the real world and you can map which windows open into which rooms.

For free.

Let no one tell you, "beware Bedrock Linux, for it is brittle and fraught", for they are ill-informed. Such has been said about , and indeed the idea of Free Software itself - yet they stand.
