Emacs is not as supportive of alternate keyboard layouts, it seems
That is, the default keybinds are based around a QWERTY keyboard
Other then C-x and C-c, it feels to me more that the default keybinds are simply mnemonic and less location based.
- P = previous
- N = next
- F = forward
- B = back
- Y = yank
And so on.
Whereas HJKL for vim is directly dependent on the keys beeing on the home row.
oh yes, the mnemonic devices of
Backwards -- b | f -- forwards
Previous -- p | n -- next
a | e -- end
^ beginning as in alphabet...?
v -- kind of a down arrow
meta v -- kind of an up arrow...?
I'd like to see an Emacs for media players. Everything configurable, everything Lisp scriptable, everything a little janky. Let me create playlists that mix CDs, MP3s and Blu-ray bonus features. Let me "crop" MCR's 'Blood' to remove the 90 seconds of silence, but only when playing in shuffle mode. Or maybe something different. Let me choose!
you can start out with EMMS and see how far it gets you
But yes, all standalone software should be a VM (I'm ok with smalltalk if lisp is not everyones cup of tea) with an editor+debugger first and then that folded into whatever the domain is.
writing Good software is, of course, completely impossible, but it's very important to write Bad software instead of Worse software
This is the kind of messaging you really want to be seeing from the global hegemon
“The EQUUSIR BEST BOX combines modern high-end technology and current knowledge of quantum physics with the holistic body concept of the energy centers. The goal of the application is to meet the requirements: to maintain long-lasting physical health and to continuously increase the athletic performance.
The box supports the restoration and harmonization of the body’s own energy fields of the horse.“

Millennial here. All the above and:
Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.
Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.
Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.

If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.
Something I ran into during my time working at the university library. They wanted me to take over a particular task for the coming semester, and I needed to be trained on the software we used for it. This training was being done primarily by having Teams meetings with the software rep and other employees who had experience with the software. Early in the process, I asked for a copy of the manual.
There wasn’t one. The software rep swore up & down that there was no written documentation at all. They had “webinars”, which they thought were more than sufficient, and the rep insisted nobody had asked for a text version before. I asked them to double-check; okay, fine, your public-facing documentation has all pivoted to video, but surely a manual exists. Y’all made this software, someone must have written down how it worked at one point.
At our next meeting, they told me they’d looked into it & indeed no manual had ever been written. They insisted that all documentation on how to use the software had been recorded in video form & nowhere else.
Flabbergasted. Who decided software documentation & training should rely on the oral tradition? This company is clearly insane. And then this came up again with another piece of software from a different company. The art of the technical manual has apparently died a quiet death at some point with few people noticing, and now How To Use Computer is passed down from senior employee to junior employee like we’re apprentice blacksmiths in the 1600s.

what's an OSR? it's a game that's kinda like old-school D&D. or is old-school D&D. or is compatible with old-school D&D. an OSR game generally has some or all of the following principles:
what does the OSR mostly NOT do?
mostly still applies to all the above. making your system a "pure" OSR game comes second to doing what's best for your game.
