@robjloranger that would be very, very useful sometimes....

I'm really enjoying https://maps.openrouteservice.org with the topplus map rendering.
Very effective for route planning.

Contemplating an #onyx note 2 device. Any useful insights?

Uses:
- read and annotate PDF (scientific, programming, reference)
- "normal" book reading
- longer text writing (with external BT/USB keyboard)
- sketching of technical prototypes

@cwebber sounds like that paradigm does not fit your style ;-)

@obra is that an atreus variant?

@gomez I'm sort of a minimalist myself, using https://www.passwordstore.org/

I usually recommend https://bitwarden.com/

@jle that is a statement of a fact though, not an opinion

Opinions, popular or not, form the discussion whether those usecases are just or properly chosen/executed; depending on criteria.

Also, it's often very hard to have a reasonable discussion about it.

Required for any programmer.

Watch it when you have 2 hours of time; it's most effective to watch in one go:

@emsenn running on thinkpad t510 fully specced. It's network bound performance by the looks of it, but I haven't profiled

i should be firmly in the 'long term' group with over 30 years of emacs usage, or is that still in the 'moderate' category? ;-)

I really want to like magit forge in #emacs; it's so nicely integrated, but it is way to slow to be practical for me.
