@revrari I've been using #emacs for 40 years and didn't know most of these.
I'm looking for a complete example of a #guix config for wsl. As a newbie I can't make one from there snippets on the documentation for wsl-system
Browsing top #dotnet projects in GitHub, I've discovered #UniGetUI. A very good UI for almost all package managers in windows, like #WinGet, #Chocolatey and also for #PythoN's Pip, #NPM. Very handy since I don't use Windows very often.
@argv_minus_one I have 2GB in my #VSCOde extensions folder, so I probably have too many. I'm old too, been using #emacs for 40+ years. My ancient set up code is still running, and emacs adapts. I have not use LSP yet.
Finally got around to installing #mastodonEL for #emacs. I've been
reading on my phone, but it's pretty hard to post from there. I don't
know #mastodown jargon well enough to understand all the features yet.
@argv_minus_one Closer to Eight Hundred Megs with all of the packages I load, but compared to 32G, the principle is the same. #vscode has more per window that all of #emacs as an IDE.

I'm checking out the Lem Common Lisp IDE, which is essentially Emacs in Common Lisp.

Here's the ncurses backend of Lem in SBCL under Crostini Linux on my Chromebox. Having used Emacs for many years I feel at home with Lem.

Finaly got dark modes to work in #emacs. I had customized the foreground and background of the default face. I simply did "customize-face" on default, and undid the checkmarks for foreground and background. This had bugged me for years! Now I can properly use a dark theme in emacs to match most of other tools. I'm using mainly #materiail-theme, but occasionally try #monokai.
You may know my collection of myths about F# (still growing): https://www.planetgeek.ch/tag/myths/
I give a presentation on them in September. Which ones should I definitely include?
