That is great, and in reality entertaining and for listening and sleeping in, good story.

So did you make it with that GPT-2 from this page?

Thanks Andrew, and very good that you prepared enough evidences to counter those issues raised by drama queens. All the free software is protected by copyrights, foundations, and so is the infrastructure. Somebody has to pay for it. Somebody does have assets, be it foundation or private individual or a group of individuals, but somebody is always considered owner of the assets and those assets have to be protected.

Thanks for doing the work, and I kind of feel it unfair and totally unjust to you as a protector and supporter of the IRC network. It is free because of people like you and others.

IMHO, all that drama was staged, planned.

The reason why such networks have to be held under legal entities is funding number one, as to keep networks financed by sponsors, and protection number two. Legal entities are formed under country's laws and in case of trouble it is legitimate to use laws to protect assets. You have not done nothing wrong in doing so.

Keep doing well!

Make your own CA, install on each computer, install certificates, voila.

robots.txt is well... for robots. It is not a binding agreement, it is a preference by website owner not to index some pages in search engines.

Public pages are still public pages, and regardless if they are indexed in search engines, everyone is free to to hyperlink to such.

Those links are public.

I can sell my public website to paying customers, but cannot prevent non-paying customers to see the links. There is no TOS or agreement with non-paying customers to agree to pay me money, they are free to click on links.

Their digital chains management is not affected.

Your best statement is your last paragraph, you are not a lawyer.

Sharing with friends and public references that publishers provide online is nature of Internet. It is not "really unethical", to contrary, it is very ethical to share.

If somebody complains "I am losing money because you pointed to my website links" -- must have some serious internal legal and technical conflicts.

Keep sharing.

It does not apply as hyperlink is public, referencing to someone's hyperlink published by someone is not a fraud neither abuse.

That is great service, thank you. Please keep deeplinking.

Quote:

Deep Linking: The most straightforward case is so-called "deep linking," which refers to placing a link on your site that leads to a particular page within another site (i.e., other than its homepage). No court has ever found that deep linking to another website constitutes copyright or trademark infringement. Therefore, you can link to other websites without serious concerns about legal liability for the link itself, with the exception of activities that might be contributory copyright infringement or trafficking in circumvention technology (discussed below).

Commercial developers have many internal discussions, with the difference that they will not show it to you.

Use Emacs in simpler way like you use other editors and it will always work.

Use it in complex way and you will stumble upon plethora of troubles. That is feature, not bug.

Unix philosophy to use single programs for one task has its particular context, and Emacs does not fit into the context, just as no other programming language is made "for single text". Your comparison is out of the context.

I like simple outline mode. In the Emacs development version it folds now with TAB on the heading, so that is maybe one of major options. I could insert "TODO" but is not necessary. Org integrates many things together. But it is not my main note taking application. I am using PostgreSQL for note taking and exporting assignments, tasks, etc. from the database into the Org mode. It is quite different workflow.

Org is not collaborative, database is collaborative, redundant, it offers way easier development then trying to handle database things by using text.

By the way, people speak "Org mode is plain text", that is was back in time, today Org mode is everything else but plain text.

I have tried it, it says something like: bash no file found, and there is no -h or --help option to know more about invokation. In general, it does not work on GNU Hyperbola/Linux-libre free OS, based on Arch Linux.

That looks as great application, thank you. I am not now hot to download all dependencies, and especially Qt as dependency is overkill. Did you see Leo editor? It works similar. Emacs works well on console and in GUI, so it is not just GUI application, that is big advantage. If you develop SQL application like that, I suggest you develop API in the same time and have the editor rather use the API, so that any other language can access the Outline structure you are creating. I wish I could run it, try it out, but dependencies are too much.

Org mode is plain text. Basic text editing in Org style may be done with any editor. Let us say those features to enter TODO or change state from TODO to DONE or PENDING, could work faster if then in other editor exists macro function. With macro functions you can pretty fast prepare basic Org functions. Folding headings is maybe something that cannot be easily implement in other editors.

Vim has Org mode too https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

Those mobile editors usually do not have macro functionality. But as soon as you have editor with macros it is possible within some 30 minutes to make few macros to add tags, change TODO states, add SCHEDULED or DEADLINE stamps or similar basic features.

It is so. Emacs contains the full Emacs manual, non-fragmented, compact and complete, including the full Org mode manual, non-fragmented. It is self-documenting program. Users can learn what is built-in feature and what exists before starting to use extensions.

If you try to do too much at once, of course, you are prone to give up as you started on a too high gradient.

When I landed I have seen too enlarged version, so frames were not visible and those window elements as well. I had to minimize it with C-- and I use Iceweasel browser.

My impression is that you sell UI elements. But I am not clear if you sell UI elements.

"Hey You just created a public page." -- No I did not agree to create public pages by clicking on a link.

Nice flashy website. Should I just trust and install new OS on my computer? How I know it is safe?

I don't think so. Emacs developers are quite friendly and accept opinions and advices of anybody, feel free to write to developers: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/

In 20 years and you don't know, sounds unbelievable. I don't know what you mean, it is so easy and works:

M-x list-packages

Choose a package and install. It is all well integrated.

M-x find-file-literally

I am using GNU Emacs since 1999. It was one of editors in the back then Red Hat Linux distribution that I got my hands on at the train station bookstore in Stuttgart, Germany. In fact I was searching for GNU system, but larger library Witwer was closed in the evening, and I was furious that my "Windows" blocked itself, it did not have the true multi-tasking. My purpose was to find the multi-tasking, and I was of the opinion that GNU is yet another proprietary Unix like operating system. There was some license shown, I did not even want to read it, I was disgruntled with licenses, and have never respected proprietary licenses. My downloads were mostly from Warez websites, so I could not care less.

How wrong I was?! By using GNU Emacs I have discovered what is really free software. I was pleasantly surprised that I could distribute that software without fears of getting caught in Germany, I could even modify it, and what a pleasure that I have got so many programming languages available, for which I would need either to spend money otherwise or search through Warez websites.

Emacs and Vim both were my primary editors for years. I liked nvi for simplicity even more, but it did not support UTF-8 back at the time, yet I used it whenever there was need and still do today. For simple text editing, I am using vi, nano, and emacs in console, as mostly I access remote servers and need to handle either emails or configuration files.

At my office, I am using GNU Emacs for anything, it is my universal window into the computing. My Window Manager is Emacs X Window Manager or EXWM, so any video or music, I am running it through Emacs and I am using 10 workspaces.

By keypress, I am seeking through the names and locations of one of my 195877 contacts, and Emacs displays list of such contacts, by one keypress like F3, I can edit contacts where PostgreSQL is used as background database, I can open the Org file for the contact to manage contact's tasks and transactions, I can send SMS, or initiate the call through one of 3 connected mobile devices. Emacs is deciding which source phone number will be used to initiate the call by looking into the prefix and network of the destination number. If I wish to inform contacts, I will send them automatically emails and follow ups, all working through Emacs and programmed with small Emacs Lisp functions, using system software. More than 650,000 emails have been sent already. Customer relationship management is at my fingertips and need no external server. Staff can access my database and manage it through the virtual private network. If I wish to share my contacts, I can export the vCard and quickly send a file to one of my contacts, I press this window key on left side and m, and I am asked for contact name, then I choose one of emails, and file is sent to the contact. Skills and various marks or tags can be added to contacts. Quick subscribing of a contact to a group is easy possible by using Helm.

Most of my needs are satisfied with Emacs Lisp, it helps me to extend the editor to the point that I can make sales in amounts of US $100,000 quicker and easier than back then by using Thunderbird, or terminal and mutt. Yet I could not get rid of the mutt email client due to its increadible speed and customization so I am launching mutt within Emacs inside of the emacs-libvterm terminal, that works so well and integrated.

By using some of Hyperbole and Org Mode ideas, I have made the Hyperscope, my hierarchical database backed collection of hyperlinks that helps me and my mind orient and plan better. It creates Org files when necessary or views videos at exact sections or directly brings me to the referenced PDF page.

It is fricking extensible through hundreds if not thousands of various packages.

What I don't like is too many themes to customize Emacs, so I am just using the default themes, and switch from time to time.

Those are my personal use cases, I am quick and efficient, and none of other editors is offering me that type of extensibility to do what I want as Emacs does, and it is all thanks to the built-in Emacs Lisp engine and ready interface that works both on the X and on the console.

Nothing special. I am using templates and two times processing, so the template may have `<%= (some expression) %>` and such will be evaluated before it comes to Markdown processing. With thousands of pages it does matter if the Markdown processor is fast or if it has some "built-in" processing stuff that would cause delayed creation of pages.

Using templates and selective evaluation is simple and better.

Author is speaking past tense, showing lack of knowledge. CGI programs are in use, nothing "passed". All major web servers have CGI support, and it has so much use in web applications. It is standard protocol that is not going to go away.

It is extremely naive to leave private files on public servers where one does not even know a person face to face.

You learn Emacs basics within GNU Emacs itself https://www.gnu.org/s/emacs see in the menu Help, there is Tutorial, FAQ, Info pages, everything is self contained.

Maybe vim editor would have "Org mode".

But Org file and org mode is not the same. Org files you can edit with any editor and with few macros you could speed up such editing, but functionality exists only within GNU Emacs editor, and nowhere else.

This would make sense ONLY then, when you would implement editing of Org files on Internet that connects to Emacs server.

As stand alone version this is just waste of time.
