00:00.000 --> 00:01.800
Oh, it's already being recorded.

00:01.800 --> 00:02.800
Great.

00:02.800 --> 00:03.800
So, hi, Alfred.

00:03.800 --> 00:04.800
How are you doing?

00:04.800 --> 00:05.800
I'm doing great.

00:05.800 --> 00:06.800
Thank you.

00:06.800 --> 00:07.800
It's a bit dark outside.

00:07.800 --> 00:09.840
I understand it's morning for most of you.

00:09.840 --> 00:12.000
Yes, well, not for me.

00:12.000 --> 00:16.280
I'm also in Europe, and I can tell you it's going to get dark pretty damn quickly.

00:16.280 --> 00:19.000
So, thank you so much for your talk.

00:19.000 --> 00:22.440
I didn't get to ask you the question before, but do you have access to the pads and the

00:22.440 --> 00:25.000
questions?

00:25.000 --> 00:26.520
I do have access to it.

00:26.520 --> 00:30.520
I'll just open it up.

00:30.520 --> 00:33.520
I'm not sure Sasha had given it to me, no.

00:33.520 --> 00:35.520
Sorry, what was the question?

00:35.520 --> 00:38.520
Could you post a link to it in the chat?

00:38.520 --> 00:39.520
I can give you a link.

00:39.520 --> 00:40.520
You can press.

00:40.520 --> 00:45.480
I'm pretty much getting the chat, so it should appear on the left, but in the meantime, if

00:45.480 --> 00:49.480
you want, I can just ask you the question, and you can maybe, whilst you do the little

00:49.480 --> 00:54.520
thing to open the pad, we can actually start answering one of the questions.

00:54.520 --> 00:56.520
Do you mind if I read you one?

00:56.520 --> 00:58.520
Yeah, go ahead.

00:58.520 --> 00:59.520
Sure.

00:59.520 --> 01:02.720
So the first question that we had was, it'd be interesting if you explained why WeChat

01:02.720 --> 01:04.440
is a necessity for you.

01:04.440 --> 01:07.760
Outside China, most people have no reason to use it at all.

01:07.760 --> 01:11.520
So can you actually give up on this?

01:11.520 --> 01:19.520
My utility for WeChat is basically, I've got to have calls every morning, so my manager

01:19.520 --> 01:20.520
has to use the tool.

01:20.520 --> 01:23.520
He's not a huge fan of it either.

01:23.520 --> 01:28.520
It's company policy, and there's plenty of sharing that has to go through that.

01:28.520 --> 01:37.520
So it's kind of all, since it's the tool that's used by most companies in China, it's kind

01:37.520 --> 01:39.520
of a tool that you have to work around.

01:39.520 --> 01:42.520
Now, most people know this.

01:42.520 --> 01:49.520
WeChat is a privacy nightmare, and as I touched on during my talk, it's also just a nightmare

01:49.520 --> 01:51.520
in general to work around.

01:51.520 --> 01:57.520
It's interesting to try and find ways to work around it or to minimize its impact on my

01:57.520 --> 01:59.520
life as much as possible.

01:59.520 --> 02:02.520
So strictly speaking, I don't need to use it, obviously.

02:02.520 --> 02:14.520
Functions that it has can be used by other software, but yeah, that's most of it.

02:14.520 --> 02:15.520
Okay, great.

02:15.520 --> 02:16.520
Also, I'm really sorry.

02:16.520 --> 02:19.520
Apparently, my audio seems to be crackling a little bit.

02:19.520 --> 02:23.520
I will address this as soon as we're finished with this talk, but there isn't all that much

02:23.520 --> 02:24.520
I can do right now.

02:24.520 --> 02:25.520
So sorry, people.

02:25.520 --> 02:28.520
You'll have to deal with it for a little while.

02:28.520 --> 02:30.520
Okay, so next question.

02:30.520 --> 02:33.520
There's a question that is actually dear to my heart.

02:33.520 --> 02:36.520
I've looked at CRD.er for collaborative real-time editing.

02:36.520 --> 02:39.520
Do you actually know what it is?

02:39.520 --> 02:42.520
I hadn't looked at it, no.

02:42.520 --> 02:51.520
For me, collaborative is less important because most of my work is just like versions.

02:51.520 --> 02:57.520
So I have a version of a script that I send off to my editor, and we don't work on it

02:57.520 --> 02:58.520
together.

02:58.520 --> 03:08.520
So that's kind of been less of an important part for my workflow, but it is interesting.

03:08.520 --> 03:10.520
I'll have to take a look at it.

03:10.520 --> 03:16.520
It used to be a bigger part of my workflow when I was a student.

03:16.520 --> 03:20.520
So it's definitely interesting to look into, but unfortunately, I don't have much to say

03:20.520 --> 03:23.520
about it.

03:23.520 --> 03:25.520
Yeah, but you're fine.

03:25.520 --> 03:28.520
The reason is that I hope I don't have too much now.

03:28.520 --> 03:31.520
Alfred, can you tell me, am I cutting off a lot when I'm talking?

03:31.520 --> 03:32.520
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

03:32.520 --> 03:38.520
I thought it was my internet connection, but it's not great.

03:38.520 --> 03:40.520
You know what?

03:40.520 --> 03:44.520
What we'll do for the moment is that we'll stick to the audio simply.

03:44.520 --> 03:48.520
Can you still hear me right now?

03:48.520 --> 03:51.520
Yeah, I can hear you a little bit better.

03:51.520 --> 03:52.520
Okay, sure.

03:52.520 --> 03:54.520
I'll put up my webcam like this.

03:54.520 --> 03:55.520
You know what?

03:55.520 --> 03:57.520
We just care about you, so you'll have to be solid on the scene.

03:57.520 --> 04:01.520
The reason I was asking you about CRDT, is it better now?

04:01.520 --> 04:03.520
Can you just confirm the audio is better?

04:03.520 --> 04:05.520
Yeah, the audio is much better.

04:05.520 --> 04:06.520
Cool, thank you.

04:06.520 --> 04:08.520
I'm so happy to hear this.

04:08.520 --> 04:13.520
The reason we're mentioning CRDT is that it's actually pretty great.

04:13.520 --> 04:19.520
A lot of people think about collaborative editing, and they tend to think about Google Doc

04:19.520 --> 04:25.520
or any kind of proprietary solution, but CRDT is kind of broaching the gap

04:25.520 --> 04:29.520
to what you can do with multiple people using Emacs.

04:29.520 --> 04:33.520
Now, I'm talking about this because I've worked with Shantan Hong,

04:33.520 --> 04:37.520
who is the mentor of CRDT, and we've worked a little bit on it,

04:37.520 --> 04:42.520
and they are still infuriating problems with it, especially making it secure

04:42.520 --> 04:45.520
and all this jazzy nonsense.

04:45.520 --> 04:51.520
But I do recommend looking into it because it would make it much easier to work with other people.

04:51.520 --> 04:58.520
All right, now that I am not lagging anymore, do you have the pad in front of you?

04:58.520 --> 04:59.520
I do.

04:59.520 --> 05:01.520
Do you want me to answer questions directly?

05:01.520 --> 05:04.520
Yes, that might be best.

05:04.520 --> 05:09.520
I kind of like to work with the little hells in the background to make sure that I can...

05:09.520 --> 05:11.520
All right, I'll leave you to it.

05:11.520 --> 05:17.520
I'll answer the question about org-mode files and sharing, which I've encountered.

05:17.520 --> 05:24.520
I've kind of had a whole issue starting out with, well, I've started working with org-mode files,

05:24.520 --> 05:27.520
and now I've got to figure out what do I do with them.

05:27.520 --> 05:32.520
So my first instinct was I'll just share the org-mode file directly,

05:32.520 --> 05:41.520
which as some people might have figured out, if they've tried, is not very successful with normal people.

05:41.520 --> 05:48.520
I've also tried exporting it to docx or to ODT, but that's problematic because you have, well,

05:48.520 --> 05:51.520
plenty of standards in ODT which don't transfer well.

05:51.520 --> 05:59.520
So for example, by default, the ODT kind of adopts, what's it called, a latex-like structure.

05:59.520 --> 06:08.520
So it's like 1.1.1, which isn't optimal for writing and sharing documents, at least in the way that I write them.

06:08.520 --> 06:15.520
So what I've settled for is for now just not sharing the org directly.

06:15.520 --> 06:25.520
I wanted to be able to do that through GitHub or GitLab, but it's a bit too much of a hassle to ask people to create an account there.

06:25.520 --> 06:34.520
And I've just created some export profiles for my ODT documents, which sorts out that problem

06:34.520 --> 06:40.520
and allows me to just share that through that and kind of bypass org-mode files for now.

06:40.520 --> 06:45.520
So unfortunately, I kind of am not able to stay 100% org.

06:45.520 --> 06:53.520
My plan on the long term is to have it go up on a website, so kind of make a work wiki,

06:53.520 --> 06:59.520
which will allow me to link back to some research documents in the script.

06:59.520 --> 07:12.520
So that's the long term plan, and that'll be built with org-mode documents, so with OX Hugo and all that kind of thing.

07:12.520 --> 07:15.520
But yeah, that's most of it.

07:15.520 --> 07:21.520
Pandoc for incoming and outgoing docs, repeating conversions.

07:21.520 --> 07:28.520
So I do use Pandoc for outgoing docs, as I just said.

07:28.520 --> 07:32.520
I found some issues with document quality.

07:32.520 --> 07:43.520
So as I said, layouts are kind of wonky, but that's possible to work through if you go into the settings

07:43.520 --> 07:49.520
and adjust basically to how you want it to look like.

07:49.520 --> 07:54.520
And for incoming docs, so that's a bit more of a hassle.

07:54.520 --> 08:02.520
My plan for this talk was to have it a bit more ready, but I've got this integration for org-ic,

08:02.520 --> 08:10.520
org-apple-pages documents, that kind of thing.

08:10.520 --> 08:22.520
So that's often the documents that I get from my colleagues, and I found a way to transfer them into org documents.

08:22.520 --> 08:29.520
I did that kind of quickly, so I don't think I'm quite ready to share exactly how it went,

08:29.520 --> 08:34.520
but I'm planning on doing some documentation around that.

08:34.520 --> 08:40.520
But yeah, basically the gist of it is, I don't find it a huge issue.

08:40.520 --> 08:52.520
I do use other tools other than just Pandoc to complement that, because otherwise, yes, I wouldn't be able to use that for incoming and outgoing docs,

08:52.520 --> 08:56.520
and I'd have to copy and paste that. Yes?

08:56.520 --> 09:00.520
Sorry, I mispress my talking to production button. Don't mind me.

09:00.520 --> 09:02.520
No worries.

09:02.520 --> 09:13.520
Begin on Emacs again. Welcome. Yeah, that's an issue I've got as well.

09:13.520 --> 09:14.520
Let's take your time.

09:14.520 --> 09:24.520
So Alfred, what we're probably going to do soon is that, as we've probably told you in the opening remarks, we will be letting people in.

09:24.520 --> 09:37.520
So right now we are in the room with Alfred on BBB, BigBlueButton, and we have now opened the session so that people can join and ask questions with their voice rather than having to type them out.

09:37.520 --> 09:40.520
And we have about 10 more minutes until we need to move on to the next talk.

09:40.520 --> 09:51.520
So normally, if you go to the talk page or all the areas that Sasha pointed out earlier, you should be able to find the link to the room and join us to ask questions directly to Alfred.

09:51.520 --> 09:56.520
And Alfred, in the meantime, I don't think we have any more questions for now.

09:56.520 --> 10:01.520
You have the questions about beginning on Emacs that is now finished, if you want to take this one in the meantime.

10:01.520 --> 10:08.520
Yeah. And so the comments and all that, I'll go through the notes again once I've got a bit more time.

10:08.520 --> 10:16.520
It's been a bit of a hectic day and put some more references in.

10:16.520 --> 10:21.520
So what was your moment when you started to work in Emacs instead of config editing?

10:21.520 --> 10:33.520
Interesting. So basically, as I hinted at in my talk, I did spend a lot of time this summer just editing my configs.

10:33.520 --> 10:50.520
And I kind of had the click, the moment where, oh, I really need to stop doing just that after I had editing, well, text editing workflow that I was happy with.

10:50.520 --> 10:56.520
So I think it's possible to just jump into doing Emacs without editing the config at all.

10:56.520 --> 10:58.520
That's not the way that I work.

10:58.520 --> 11:09.520
But I think that, yeah, being able to not be too frustrated in like figuring out how to take notes, like the Space NMT in Doom Emacs,

11:09.520 --> 11:18.520
just creating an org capture templates or using an org capture templates and realizing, all right, I can just, any config idea that I have,

11:18.520 --> 11:28.520
I can put off to later and continue focusing on this work that I have right in front of me.

11:28.520 --> 11:34.520
I think that was kind of a moment where I realized, all right, I don't need to edit this config all day.

11:34.520 --> 11:42.520
And I like to edit my config for like a whole month, but obviously that's not quite feasible.

11:42.520 --> 11:51.520
I mean, working on a month on your config, you know, some of us have been working on our config for the better part of the last 30 years or 10 years or 20 years, depending on your age.

11:51.520 --> 11:54.520
So do not worry, you will find the time to work on your config.

11:54.520 --> 11:57.520
Emacs is just about editing your config.

11:57.520 --> 11:59.520
So before you continue, I just want to let people know.

11:59.520 --> 12:05.520
So we have opened up the question and answer room and now people can join and ask questions.

12:05.520 --> 12:13.520
But I see for now, we mostly have people wanting to listen in, but that's also because as soon as we'll need to move the stream to the next talk,

12:13.520 --> 12:17.520
you'll still be able to join the BBB room and it will still be open.

12:17.520 --> 12:25.520
So that if you want to ask questions to Alfred off stream, be careful, it will still be recorded and still be posted on the website afterwards.

12:25.520 --> 12:26.520
Well, you can do so.

12:26.520 --> 12:30.520
And as long as Alfred is available, he can answer your questions.

12:30.520 --> 12:41.520
And otherwise, if you don't want to join, you can still type your questions in a pad and I'm sure we'll find the time maybe after Christmas or whenever we are all a little more available to answer all the questions that we have.

12:41.520 --> 12:45.520
All right. So sorry, Alfred, you can go now again.

12:45.520 --> 12:53.520
OK, so I've seen I've seen the latest question from Vidianos.

12:53.520 --> 12:55.520
So why is Emacs recommended for journalism?

12:55.520 --> 13:02.520
It's actually an interesting question because that's that's what I had asked myself when I just started.

13:02.520 --> 13:15.520
And I wouldn't say it's recommended. Obviously, it's it's like just as Emacs isn't recommended to anyone in particular because you have you have to really figure out, oh, this is for me.

13:15.520 --> 13:18.520
But I think it's yeah.

13:18.520 --> 13:25.520
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Is my button not working again? I will, I will chastise myself.

13:25.520 --> 13:29.520
So I think it's.

13:29.520 --> 13:40.520
Gotta get back into it. And it's valuable for journalism in the sense that there are plenty of tools that are used for scientific research, which are also used for journalism research.

13:40.520 --> 13:48.520
And in the sense that Emacs is kind of tailored through big tags, through big latex, through like Orgrom and Orgrom Noter, that kind of thing.

13:48.520 --> 13:56.520
And it's it's very easy to transfer these skills into journalism.

13:56.520 --> 14:05.520
And because you're just researching topics and you're transcribing interviews, you're like going through data and trying to figure out, all right, this is the part that's that's valuable.

14:05.520 --> 14:13.520
This is like something that I'm going to research. And for me, Orgrom is kind of a game changer because it allows me to just.

14:13.520 --> 14:22.520
Set my set my thoughts aside, just create a create a Rome link and know that I'm going to I'm going to get back to it.

14:22.520 --> 14:30.520
And so I think it's recommended in that sense, because otherwise I'd just be writing in in a Google Drive document.

14:30.520 --> 14:36.520
And just be spending all my days working on stuff that's not exactly related.

14:36.520 --> 14:45.520
But obviously, for people who have a bit more self-control than I do, it's probably a bit easier and less less necessary.

14:45.520 --> 14:51.520
But it's so good to hear this. Sorry for the interruption, but it's so good to hear that Orgrom actually manages to.

14:51.520 --> 14:55.520
People manage to use Orgrom to, you know, give some more life to their notes.

14:55.520 --> 15:00.520
It's just not a scribbled notes in one of your book that you never open again.

15:00.520 --> 15:06.520
It's the fact that it's just a file and that you can link it very easily to the rest of your files.

15:06.520 --> 15:14.520
It makes it really easily accessible to not forget about it and to try to refine it later on into something more valuable.

15:14.520 --> 15:17.520
Be it an article, be it a research paper or stuff like this.

15:17.520 --> 15:21.520
So, yeah, I'm very pleased to hear that Orgrom is being put to such use.

15:21.520 --> 15:29.520
And we'll hear plenty more about Orgrom and Zettelkasten as usual ever since there was the boom in 2020 about Orgrom stuff and Zettelkasten stuff.

15:29.520 --> 15:36.520
So don't worry about it. And if you're tired about it, well, sorry, you can go watch that or something.

15:36.520 --> 15:44.520
Yeah, no, I think that when I realized how to use Orgrom was also kind of a moment that made me want to stay to stay there.

15:44.520 --> 16:01.520
Like I had shown it on the on the talk, but my my documentary ideas page is basically just like chock full of ideas of stuff that I have thought about for five minutes and just stuff there.

16:01.520 --> 16:05.520
And no, but I can I can create like stumble on the link at some point and work on it.

16:05.520 --> 16:22.520
So it's yeah, it's very valuable. I think it's something that we even outside of Emacs, we should probably be a bit more conscious of of using these kinds of tools and promoting promoting that kind of association and kind of linking.

16:22.520 --> 16:29.520
Even outside of the confines of Orgrom as much as as there are confines, I suppose.

16:29.520 --> 16:44.520
I think people are already complaining that there's too much Orgrom being talked about. So before we start, well, going outside of Emacs, you know, there are plenty of tools as well outside of Emacs tools, which are also floss, which allow you to have similar workflows.

16:44.520 --> 16:57.520
But I believe really that tools within Emacs are within the entire stack of Emacs with the philosophy of Emacs that allows so much different modes to be developed on top of it, which is amazing.

16:57.520 --> 17:03.520
Before we continue, I kind of want to check the clock because we will need to get started on the next talk eventually.

17:03.520 --> 17:11.520
We do have a lot of people joining on BBB and thank you. Hi, everyone. You are probably hearing me twice, once in BBB and once on the stream.

17:11.520 --> 17:17.520
So don't forget to pause the stream if you are hearing my voice in doubles.

17:17.520 --> 17:27.520
We will need to move at 45, so in five minutes, to the next talk. And until then, until then, it is very French of me to say then and not then.

17:27.520 --> 17:31.520
We can take a couple more questions then, Alfred, if you want.

17:31.520 --> 17:34.520
Absolutely.

17:34.520 --> 17:47.520
So yeah, open the questions to people joining in on the mic. And if there's nothing, I'm happy to chat around or to wait.

17:47.520 --> 17:53.520
Sure. Do we have any other questions on the panel? I think you've been pretty thorough and thank you so much for taking the time to answer this.

17:53.520 --> 18:04.520
One of the reasons that we wanted to have two tracks this year is to be able to spend a little more time with Spukers because it was really heart wrenching last year to have so many talks going one after the other.

18:04.520 --> 18:10.520
We barely had the time to talk. And this year, it's a more of a leisurely paced stream.

18:10.520 --> 18:16.520
And yeah, it feels like I can take my time. I'm not running constantly out of breath.

18:16.520 --> 18:26.520
It's still the beginning. OK, I still was extremely stressed whenever we need to press the start stream button, you know, all kinds of fire starts spawning left and right.

18:26.520 --> 18:39.520
But if we don't have any more questions, well, maybe we can just go on a little break and reconvene in four minutes because I don't see people on BBB having their mic open.

18:39.520 --> 18:42.520
So, Alfred, you're more than welcome to stay in the room.

18:42.520 --> 18:48.520
What we are probably going to do now is go on a little bit of a break. So we're going to try to put something on the screen.

18:48.520 --> 18:55.520
There's just been a question from Corwin. So are you closing out the room?

18:55.520 --> 19:01.520
Oh, no, no, no. We probably will. Well, OK, let me just read Corwin's question.

19:01.520 --> 19:04.520
Yes, you do have a question for Corwin, but we're not going to close the room.

19:04.520 --> 19:12.520
We're going to leave it open as long as you want to stay. You can stay five to ten minutes. Maybe people might show up. But otherwise.

19:12.520 --> 19:17.520
So just reading Corwin's questions because it's not in a pad yet, I think.

19:17.520 --> 19:25.520
So do you use any fancy solutions for annotating text onto particular video timestamps?

19:25.520 --> 19:30.520
Well, I don't use it yet, but it's planned.

19:30.520 --> 19:38.520
So I've started a Reddit thread and Sasha has been helpful with answering that one.

19:38.520 --> 19:50.520
But my plan is to work with subtitle editing at some points and to introduce.

19:50.520 --> 20:00.520
Wait, annotate. I might have misunderstood the question. Oh, sorry.

20:00.520 --> 20:04.520
I'm looking for the question as well. So don't worry if you're lost, I'm also lost.

20:04.520 --> 20:18.520
Annotation text. If it's possible to get a clarification for what you mean by annotation text, is that like text effects or is that subtitles?

20:18.520 --> 20:28.520
I think it was mostly about you were talking about notes taking. I think annotation in that sense on the videos would be you have a video and you're trying to take note on this video.

20:28.520 --> 20:35.520
Like either you have the timestamp on the side or you overlay something. But I think it's mostly about taking notes on videos.

20:35.520 --> 20:43.520
OK, yeah. So for now, I'm creating a new link between every video or podcast that I listen to,

20:43.520 --> 20:56.520
but I but I remember to do so and creating just an org room, an org room documents for every for every for every new episode or every new video.

20:56.520 --> 21:12.520
But I am definitely going to have to take some time and figure out a process in which I can link together RSS feeds or L feed as well to to be able to annotate that and link it up with my other text notes.

21:12.520 --> 21:20.520
So nothing fancy yet, but that is planned. So stick around till next year and I might have something for you.

21:20.520 --> 21:23.520
And we will love to have you back.

21:23.520 --> 21:31.520
Yeah, it's thanks. Thanks so much for organizing this. It's it's great to have to have these questions.

21:31.520 --> 21:43.520
Yeah, well, thank you so much, Alfred. It was you know, you had nothing to do with it, but you were the first speaker to come. And even though, you know, having a prereq makes it that much less stressful to be facing the crowd,

21:43.520 --> 21:50.520
you still had to take the first questions from the crowd. And thank you so much because you did it brilliantly and you answered so many questions considering.

21:50.520 --> 21:55.520
So, Alfred, you're going to probably stay in a room a little while. I don't see a lot of people joining quite yet.

21:55.520 --> 22:05.520
I don't think people are, I think most of the questions have already been addressed on the pad, but you can stick around in two minutes and we'll be with you shortly to help you close the room.

22:05.520 --> 22:10.520
But right now, what we're going to do is we're going to take, well, we're not going to take any break.

22:10.520 --> 22:16.520
We're just going to move straight into the next talk. Do bear with us because it's a it's a fine machinery.

22:16.520 --> 22:22.520
And if something flashes on the screen, bear with us. It will be live pretty soon.

22:22.520 --> 22:31.520
OK, it's apparently live. Bye bye. Take care.

22:31.520 --> 22:39.520
OK, so we are now off the stream. We are playing the next prereq. Thank you so much, Alfred, and sorry for the intermittent microphone tuning in.

22:39.520 --> 22:43.520
It was basically my push to talk button with production that is misbehaving a little bit.

22:43.520 --> 22:52.520
It's working so well that I'm actually if I keep talking whilst I'm releasing the button, I'm talking to you, which is really weird and really confusing.

22:52.520 --> 23:00.520
OK, you know, it's always it's always rough with new audio setups going live with them at the same time as you're discovering them.

23:00.520 --> 23:05.520
It's always an interesting, interesting, especially since it's only one aspect of the stuff we're doing.

23:05.520 --> 23:08.520
You know, we're doing so much stuff on the side as well. OK, I'm going to have to get going.

23:08.520 --> 23:13.520
I don't see I don't see any people joining on BBB, so you can stick around a little while.

23:13.520 --> 23:16.520
Corwin might be back in about two to three minutes to help you close the room.

23:16.520 --> 23:20.520
But otherwise, you can just leave if no one shows up in two minutes. OK. All right.

23:20.520 --> 23:25.520
Thanks so much. And thank you so much.

23:25.520 --> 23:54.520
Merci and see you next time. All right, guys, if you have any questions, this is the last the last the last moment.

23:54.520 --> 24:04.520
To launch launch a question, if you're if you don't want to be recorded, I'm happy to I'm happy to take a question off off air or something.

24:04.520 --> 24:08.520
I don't know. I don't know if the chats. Oh, Max. Yes.

24:08.520 --> 24:17.520
When I get stuck with the next problem.

24:17.520 --> 24:26.520
For non-tech people, do you mean non-technical minded like I'm.

24:26.520 --> 24:30.520
I'm trying to figure out. Oh, great.

24:30.520 --> 24:37.520
Well, typically, typically, I try and just research on on.

24:37.520 --> 24:49.520
On Stack Overflow or other platforms where you can share code and share problems, but I typically don't go into too much like non-tech places for EMAX problems.

24:49.520 --> 24:54.520
I have other problems. So, for example, research problems and that kind of thing.

24:54.520 --> 25:00.520
And I'm not sure I answered the core of your question.

25:00.520 --> 25:03.520
The.

25:03.520 --> 25:15.520
Oh, all right. Yes.

25:15.520 --> 25:27.520
Yeah, I mean, I do, I do have other other communities that I joined in, but I try to talk talk about these issues with that aren't that aren't EMAX.

25:27.520 --> 25:33.520
But obviously, it's difficult to talk about EMAX problems with non EMAX users.

25:33.520 --> 25:43.520
So, yeah, that's that's the whole the whole issue with it being so complicated to get started is that you can you can say you can say all you want about how great it is.

25:43.520 --> 25:52.520
But people people aren't always keen to spend three months of their life trying to learn it, which fair enough.

25:52.520 --> 26:04.520
All right. Well, I hope I answered the I answered your questions to the as much as I could, I'll get back to the to the note documents.

26:04.520 --> 26:13.520
And at some point in the coming week and putting in some more notes about about the stuff you guys were interested in.

26:13.520 --> 26:23.520
And, yeah, well thanks for thanks for asking questions thanks for being here and hopefully, hopefully see you next time in the EMAX Conf.

26:23.520 --> 26:45.520
