A great article which touches on the basics of the GNU Readline library (which almost all modern shells and REPLs use), its long history and its relationship with #Emacs (the source of its default keybindings) twobithistory.org/2019/08/22/r...

Last week, I looked into sending WhatsApp messages from Emacs
Now's time for incoming messages!
ps. I get there are far better alternatives than WhatsApp, but ditching WhatsApp is simply not an option for me for complicated reasons. I wish I could.

Impressed by github.com/asternic/wuz... In an initial try, everything just worked.
So tempted to prototype a #WhatsApp #Emacs package.
Should I?!

If you’ve been using Emacs on macOS and iOS for a while, you probably know Álvaro Ramírez, the maker of Journelly and dwim-shell-command. I’m a fan of both.
Turns out Álvaro has a sponsorship page on GitHub. If you benefit from his work and look for a way to help out, this is it!

I so love my #emacs, was configuring some packages and wanted something easier, so I wrote a small function that will look up all the custom variables for a package and provide them as completion, allowing you to easily insert them. Trying to be more like @xenodium.bsky.social by sharing.
