I decided to write an article about my #SoloRPG mode for #Emacs.
If you're an Emacs user and want to try it out, it's on #MELPA so you can just:
M-x package-refresh-contents RET
M-x package-install RET solo-rpg RET

What is the policy/attitude towards LLM contributions in GNU Emacs?
What is the policy/attitude towards LLM contributions in GNU Emacs?
I asked emacs-devel: Are LLM contributions welcomed in GNU Emacs by the maintainers and contributors?
Eli Zaretskii:
We are awaiting the decision by the GNU Project on these matters, which will define the policy for all the GNU packages, and in the meantime we don't accept LLM-generated code, as a precaution.
For now, Emacs won't accept LLM contributions. However, given this:
Obviously, the right thing to do is protect computing freedom: share complete training inputs with every user of the LLM, together with the complete model, training configuration settings, and the accompanying software source code. Therefore, we urge Anthropic and other LLM developers that train models using huge datasets downloaded from the Internet to provide these LLMs to their users in freedom.
I sort of expect FSF, and therefore GNU along with Emacs, to be somewhat accepting of LLMs eventually, if they are "open". Too copyright-brained for their own good. Unfortunate.
Hmm. Now I have to decide on what to do next - write an article for my site about my #SoloRPG mode for #Emacs, or continue working on said mode and adding #HexCrawl support for it, or prep for tomorrow's #PathFinder2e game?

Its soft fork of firefox and has configuring options for keymaps and to use Web API in config. It has vim bindings by default, but I've it modified it for #emacs
Pretty much most extensible browser I use.
Ratatui is the #Emacs of TUI apps huh?
Truly the best of the best.

I'm very happy with my #SoloRPG mode for #Emacs, which is now available on #MELPA. It started with support for the #Lonelog solo RPG notation format, but has since expanded. I've now added support for #tarot cards and generating NPC personalities and appearances.
Today, I'm going to have a look at adding #Hexcrawl support.
If anyone wants to have a look at the code, it's available at https://github.com/Enfors/solo-rpg
Lonelog by #LoreseedWorkshop is available here: https://zeruhur.itch.io/lonelog

Que nous appellerions #emacs 😄
@BeefGriller glad I could help you find the solution yourself 😅
That it’s in ~/.config now is the new¹ xdg standard which Emacs now seems to adhere to.
¹ maybe almost 20 years old, so it may be considered almost grown-up in #Emacs terms ☺

🌗 AI 時代下的 Emacs 與 Vim:挑戰與機遇並存
➤ 傳統編輯器的守護者,該如何面對 AI 帶來的結構性變革?
✤ https://batsov.com/articles/2026/03/09/emacs-and-vim-in-the-age-of-ai/
本文探討了在 AI 驅動開發的新時代中,Emacs 與 Vim 這類經典文字編輯器所面臨的結構性挑戰與潛在轉機。作者分析了以 VS Code 為首的現代 IDE 憑藉強大的 AI 整合與企業支持所形成的「重力場」,並質疑在 AI 自動化編程的趨勢下,傳統編輯器強項——機械式編輯效率——是否還具備價值。然而,作者也樂觀地指出,AI 能夠有效降低 Emacs Lisp 與 VimScript 等複雜配置語言的學習門檻,並協助社區擴大貢獻者基礎。最終,Emacs 與 Vim 的未來取決於其生態系統如何利用 AI 優化開發體驗,從而應對技術轉型的衝擊。
+ 說得很好,但我認為 Vim/Emacs 的價值不在於「編輯速度」,而在於那種「一切皆可編程」的哲學,這是 Cu
