Always heard about org mode but was intimidated by emacs when I could barely manage vi/vim (sorry guys). Installed a plugin for org-mode for Sublime Text today and… removed, why didn’t I try this sooner?

I have thousands of text files with horrible organization, thrown around multiple directories, no common naming scheme, no hierarchy, no unified notation, just ramblings and a barely marginal attempt at organization using === as title markers. I have links and ideas buried deep and I didn’t want to use a third party tool “just for managing text”.

Well, my eyes are open, and thus I’m euphoric, enlightened by its brilliance. I must rewrite all my stuff in org-mode.

      Yep I read about that when I first looked into exwm and it is a problem. I’m lucky though, I only really use emacs and firefox so it’s not a big deal for me. I wouldn’t want to be using exwm if I was doing some serious multitasking and using video editing software or something. I don’t know if there are plans for a multithread rewrite of emacs but I hope it happens.

      I’m going to set up lem.el at some point! I currently use elfeed to see lemmy posts from the communities I’m most interested in and firefox to comment or just browse about. I actually saw this post from inside elfeed originally.
