    that in , if you enable case-insensitive searching, it only searches insensitively if your search string is all lower case. As soon as you include a capital letter in the search string, it goes back to searching case-sensitively regardless.

    Weird how it's easy to miss things like that. I knew that happened in , but somehow, in 20 years I'd never noticed it in less.

    I presume the rationale (in both tools) is that if you went to the extra effort of typing the capital letter, you meant it. I found out that less did this by _pasting_ a search string into it, which invalidates that assumption – it would have been _more_ effort for me to deliberately downcase the string I pasted.

    So I guess I must have never done that before, or else, wasn't paying attention when I did!

    🎉 What’s New in Org Social! 🎉This month the Org Social community has been talking about Emacs workflows and packages, including daily-use tools like denote, TRAMP, eglot, mu4e, and elfeed, as well as specialized packages like beardbolt (Rust disassembly), versuri (music lyrics search), whisper.el (voice dictation), and elfeed-score (RSS scoring).Technical discussions covered functional programming (learning Haskell and Common Lisp), AI-assisted development with Claude Code, music playback with mpd/mpdel in Emacs, web browsing without JavaScript in eww, and embedded development with Renode integration. Members also participated in the Emacs Carnival sharing their goals, including learning new languages, exploring agentic AI, and contributing more to the Emacs community through blogs and talks.If you don't like these topics, don't join!For more information: https://github.com/tanrax/org-social#emacs #orgsocial #orgmode

    Have you ever wanted to have Theo de Raadt give you his fortune in your GNU Emacs session? I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.https://codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.elAppending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also remember being suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.https://gist.github.com/amadaluzia/be96e325326a9d66619543af410e4bf4Let me know how the package goes for you. I would love to improve the GNU Emacs ecosystem further, as a GNU Emacs user.#opensource #foss #emacs #openbsd #bsd #runbsd

    I've been using computers all my life, #Linux and #Unix since the 90s, and word processors since #Wordperfect 5.1 for #MS-DOS but I still can't grasp the #vim and #emacs keybindings.

    @rivercityrandom Writing a novel in #emacs is quite straightforward and not very different from, uh, writing a novel.Here is how I do it: starting with chapter 1 I would hit the following keys: Shift+C, h, a, p, t, e, r, space, 1. Hope that helps.
