#emacs #orgmode

starting to enjoy emacs on android, but i'm not able to open org links in a browser. I keep getting "Doing vfork: Operation not permitted". This is with and without setting browse-url-browser-function. Any ideas?

update, found it:
(setq browse-url-firefox-program "termux-open-url")

Diary type timestamps are very useful to describe holydays in #OrgMode. Org Mode supports diary, monthly, or anual periodicity with <2025-06-18 +1d>, <2025-06-18 +1m>, <2025-06-18 +1y> respectively.
But there is no syntax for more complex periodicity such as "the 3rd saturday of september". For that cases use the diary syntax. For example:

```
* Software Freedom Day
<%%(diary-float 9 6 3)>
```

Xcode 26's new playground feature is giving so much Org Babel (but only with Swift), hot-reloadable (but not really) energy.

Being in Org mode and doing C-c C-c or something similar at the wrong place gives you a message that “C-c C-c can do nothing useful here” and it feels just like using your inventory in old Sierra and Lucasart point-and-click adventures games:“How can you do that?"/“Nothing happens”. #orgmode #gaming

[What is behind this graph?] This video is an incredible (imho) demo of visualizing linked notes taken with #orgmode #format.
You can see them according to their levels, tags or links and manipulate them!

The question is: how does it work behind this graph, especially what manipulating graph interface?
Thanks for any information. And happy #Emacs!

Love seeing non #orgmode folks happily using Journelly! @mbjones's post show us how he integrates with his #markdown flow.

ps. Markdown support is also coming to #Journelly

Inspired by System Crafters and org-roam, I’m shifting from Evernote to a fully Emacs-based note-taking and research workflow. So nice to re-discover tools that have always been there, but I never got a chance to use properly. #OrgMode #OrgRoam #Notetaking

90% of my emacs usage is for org mode. It's a great tool that has legit increased my motivation to be productive.

I am currently hand coding HTML and CSS for my personal website. But beyond that I'm not doing any dev-related activities in emacs. It's all just org mode.

@driscollis

#Emacs, because it has all the features I need in an IDE, e.g. note-taking (#orgmode) and version control (#magit). And it already runs after login, because it is my window manager (#EXWM).

heck, i want to migrate from #markdown to #orgmode once again lol

@thelinuxcast interesting. I'm a free software enjoyer and I prefer #Orgmode + #Emacs + #SyncThing + ZettelNotes.

I'm equal parts amazed and frustrated by org-mode. It's such a great tool, but features are really hard to discover, unless you very patiently read the manual.

It's a different beast, but I think magit does a lot of things better.
