  • Danke!

    Achso, das erklärt die Verwirrung. Ich ging davon aus, dass die Posts für jeden sichtbar seien. Die Posts haben zum Teil so Titel wie “thank god for cocacola”, “no gods no masters only jesus and trump” oder “i always have to remind my wife that im a grower not a shower”. Die Memes dazu wirken auch ironisch.





  • Yes and no. The biggest hurdle is using emacs, org-mode itself is just a rather simple plaintext format. But as a beginner it’s best if you just consider emacs to be a kind of text editor like mousepad or notepad. If you just install it, it will basically look like a weird version of those programs. What might seem intimidating are all the keybindings long-time emacs users regularly throw around. You can just ignore those for the beginning.

    But emacs is also extremely well-documented, though. Your biggest aides as a beginner would be “C-h i”, (pressing control + h, then i) to bring up all info manuals installed on your machine, and the various ‘apropos’ commands, which I usually just call through ‘invoke-command’ “M-x” (meta key + x). The emacs manual is pretty good. I know lots of people start with fancy emacs distributions. I would however suggest just starting with plain emacs and keeping the menu bar open for the first few months.

    Disclaimer: I do almost all of my work in emacs. And my comparisons to other methods of organising yourself are a few years old.
