A Reddit post about the frustration of a developer who contributed #emacsclient support to #Gemini CLI, only for #Google to transition the tool to an enterprise-only, closed-source model shortly after.

[…] My takeaway is that in the future I will think very carefully before contributing again to non-FOSS projects.

Yes. Also, the small problem of Google and AI use in genocide and war crimes, but not a priority I guess.

#Emacsclient now launches just fine without me having to stop and restart the service. I changed... nothing.

I hate when this happens. It means it can change back without warning unless I can find out what caused it in the first place.

(not so much) fun with Elisp. I try to tell Emacs to avoid a certain frame when opening a file via emacsclient. Tweak display-buffer-alist, no? That non-datastructure of lists of cons cells of lists of cons cells. It took me an hour to get the structure right, only to find out that it works for opening files from within Emacs, but server-mode couldn't be bothered.

Because server-mode does not use display-buffer-alist. Instead it uses server-window. 🤦‍♀️ 🤯

#emacs #elisp #server_mode #emacsclient

It's time for another WTF APPLE post!

As you would know, I use emacs-groundup in a server-client setup. While launching the first frame works well, I noticed that launching new frames only works when I'm in the same workspace as the first frame.

Is this a known bug ? My google searches were not very useful (but then google searches usually reveal nothing these days ...).

Anyone with some knowledge about #emacs and #emacsclient and the interplay with the daemon here who can help a user of #JabRef ?

Thanks in advance! Any help appreciated. Please boost.

So I can ssh to a machine, run emacsclient to connect to the running emacs instance there, write changes that I forgot to write earlier, then either copy them to my other machine or commit on the remote machine.

This is great, but is there any other good emacsclient use case?

#emacs #emacsclient

Took me a whole day to consolidate my #emacs configuration to #systemd + #emacsclient setup.

Goal was simplification.

Struggles:
- systemd config mistakes can lead to silent failures
- I will never master shell script quoting
- moving window (frame) management to a window manager completely is not trivial
- emacsclient has hardcoded action for -a flag, which makes using sockets harder
