I use Emacs's markdown mode for syntax highlighting. I have never used live export, but looked for it in its dropdown menu, found it, and clicked it: https://i.imgur.com/0LG6nnS.png It renders images and doesn't rely on…
I'm keen to hear more about VS Code's remote editing strengths over TRAMP. What is it in particular? I see some UI operations block on TRAMP operations which is laggy and annoying.
Sorry for misunderstanding. I see now that you meant autocompletion like LSP (rather than M-x minibuffer completion). Emacs could benefit from built-in LSP, I agree. Emacs-devel are keen for it, and eglot.el is a good…
> Emacs has [...] no autocomplete, and doesn't show available functions My impression is that you are not familiar with Emacs.
It's a great strength that NeoVim supports many languages, and VS Code uses Javascript. Lisp is not widely used, and this is an impediment to Emacs' popularity. However, when people speak about Emacs customizability,…
I think I would be more productive with VS Code too. But productivity isn't my only goal. I want to give back to the community: Emacs is introspectable enough that it allows me to easily contribute. I want to explore a…

I use Emacs GUI. I like the desktop integration, mouse support, rich fonts/themes.
I'm a daily Emacs user, and happily use a 100 line init.el, mostly composed of "enable this mode". Emacs supports customization needs to the nth degree, but I've found that this is a false economyy. I agree Emacs needs…
Is there a better alternative that meets the following constraints: * standards based: i.e. it has demonstrated commitment to openness and universality * multi stakeholder: i.e. it has momentum * can self host: i.e.…

The cost-benefit isn't there for me. Benefit: Removing ads isn't much of a benefit for me, since having tracking protection and first party isolation. Cost: Ads blocker require high privilege permissions that I choose…

Browsers are at the forefront of interfacing with the web. If VR is coming to the web, Mozilla need to at least be ready for this, if not leading it.
I use Firefox. I don't use an ad blocker, but I do use Firefox's tracking protection, and first party isolation. If Mozilla doesn't track with this ad, I'm _okay_ with it.
Mozilla is in a tough spot. An ad for their VPN might be amongst the least bad options they have. Mozilla plays an important role in providing platform diversity. Any user that wants Mozilla to succeed but protests by…
Did they expect you to find another team during the quarter of no work? Was finding another team ever offered as an option (other than on a PIP)?
