wow, okay, I gotta try this. I'm using the built-in alpha for window transparency but it makes the text transparent as well so you have to be careful!

Although marketed as a Game Boy title, Emacs was widely regarded as a general-purpose computing environment with optional gaming functionality.
A picture of a Nintendo GameBoy with assembly code being edited inside the Emacs editor. There is a surprising amount of info on the screen.

it's kind of difficult to see the effect, maybe it's the theme? Is the idea that this is supposed to create a transparent window? or just a transparent toolbar?

Has anyone else using #emacs wanted the status bars (mode-line, header-line, tab-line, tab-bar) to be multi-line? Similarly, have any users ever wanted the margin to be multi-column? I'm working on a couple extensions to solve, and wanted to assay the community to see how prevalent this issue is

Curious what exporter you use to turn MD into a blog post (presumably HTML). I've been using Emacs's org-mode, but I'm thinking of switching as I don't really need most of its features anymore, and I love the MD experience from an authorship point-of-view.

mister-chiply.bsky.social @mister-chiply.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
Totally agree. The whole idea, even pre-llm, is to get the computer to create abstractions that can be built on over time, and whose value amortizes over time. Do you have any structure (like claude skills) to guide the llm to think this way, or do you think it comes out prompt-to-prompt?

An empirical thing I've noticed is that programming skills often correlate a lot with how much use you can get out of llms. bad programmers seem uninterested in library building, they usually approach problems by asking the llm to one-shot the output (and end up with slop) CS is about abstraction.
