@witchgirls@woof.tech you might be able to tweak electric-indent-mode to do what you want here.

I figured out how to make these previews work. The problem did turn out to be that lualatex doesn't produce .dvi files. The aptly named dvilualatex binary needs to be used for this. The solution was to set the latex-compiler property of the org-preview-latex-process-alist members accordingly: "dvilualatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f" To quote the Emacs enthusiast interview, you can probably do this in a smarter way (and I'm all ears/eyes for suggestions). For now, though, it works! As with most problems, this one just needed a fresh set of eyes and putting the right words in the search engine. #emacs #orgmode #lualatex

@ericsfraga@fediscience.org @alex@social.alexschroeder.ch I spend most of my time in org buffers, that almost has to be one of the bigger pain points. I forgot/didn't know it had layout configuration

I have been using #niri for the past couple of weeks and it has been a joy to use. The documentation is excellent and made configuration a breeze. I of course get tripped up by my #sway muscle memory, but scrolling managers are fantastic for keeping context in a workspace and not having to worry about screen real estate. It also simplifies things if you're like me and have workspaces dedicated to programs.

It turns out #Emacs's MPC mode wasn't made with playlists in mind (it even says so in the elisp file). I happen to like playlists, so I wrote a couple of functions to accommodate them a bit better.

I keep my #emacs modules separated into different repositories and decided to write a function to reload them after edits. To do this I'm calling unload-feature on a package and its autoloads, byte-recompiling the module's directory, and finally requiring the module. Am I missing anything? I mostly want to make sure the feature's fully removed from memory.

Hey @adele@social.pollux.casa, did you write the validator at smolweb.org/validator? I think I found a conflict between the validator and guidance.

@minad@mastodon.world it's a shame that this has escalated this way. I personally like the idea of separating melpa and elpa packages, but when all of the maintainers say they're not interested it's time to let it go. Especially when, as you pointed out, if you really want to blacklist elpa packages relying on melpa it is trivial to do so. Thank you for your contributions!
