Pragmatically, how are people that buy into these ideals, and especially those that build the software, meant to live/thrive, short of renouncing many of the luxuries of modern life, as many have been struggling to reconcile both, it appears? Wouldn't it be smarter and more productive longer-term to solve that problem too?
00:03:24.600 --> 00:04:28.679
I have been admiring your work for free software for many years now. I am a bit concerned about what will happen to the GNU project when you retire (not soon, I hope!!). Have you planned how to manage the GNU project in the long run?
00:04:52.520 --> 00:07:10.799
In response to your aversion to JavaScript support in Emacs: In the same way that to revolt against the nonfree spirit in software development one has to develop software, and that to fight nonfree compilers one has to write a free compiler - can you fairly consider rejection of JavaScript as a tool conducive to improving the state of free JavaScript? A server can send back any MIME type to execute on your machine, JS was just the most convenient.
00:07:27.000 --> 00:08:38.999
With all the recent additions and optimizations to Emacs Lisp (lexical scoping, native compilation etc.) would you deem Emacs Lisp suitable for general purpose programming outside Emacs (i.e. scripting, running web servers). If not, why?
00:08:44.760 --> 00:09:27.439
Could you give a few examples of the medium-sized jobs necessary for WYSIWYG-editor support in Emacs?
00:09:33.480 --> 00:10:48.639
Should GNU (or someone else) define a safe-subset of HTML/CSS/JS to make web browsers simpler and safer (e.g. by preventing JS from contacting servers)?
00:10:57.440 --> 00:13:50.479
How can we ensure the continuity of an understanding of the more arcane parts of the [Emacs] source code, and increase their evolvability, notably with regards to display, single-threading limitations, etc.?
00:13:50.480 --> 00:14:50.279
Are there any problems or disadvantages using the GNU AGPL for non-networked software like Emacs packages?
00:14:50.280 --> 00:16:36.839
Is there a list of Emacs issues which can be solved by programmers with different levels? For example my level is A, I know basic elisp and C. How can I help?
00:16:36.840 --> 00:17:19.359
What roadblocks kept some of the other efforts from being used with Emacs?
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:55.119
What do you use emacs for beyond editing?
00:17:55.120 --> 00:18:37.279
Song about e-mail
00:18:49.556 --> 00:19:59.039
Emacs is used by a small population relative to the population that could benefit from it. Do you have any thoughts on how to expand the user base more broadly even among software developers?
00:20:05.760 --> 00:22:42.439
Would a namespace system similar to Common Lisp packages but without :USE work in Emacs? Modern CL implementations have package local nicknames to create package local prefixes.
00:22:42.440 --> 00:24:26.919
With Emacs 29 adding more (awesome) features into vanilla Emacs, how should we ensure vanilla Emacs does not get bloated with many similar features? (example: ido/icomplete, vc/magit)
00:24:26.920 --> 00:25:35.039
Do you recommend reaching out in [high] schools for volunteers instead of universities because they are more prone to value the objectives of freedom?
00:25:35.040 --> 00:27:14.879
What was the thought process behind making Emacs Lisp dynamically scoped when you first created it? What advantages did it provide over the alternative?
00:27:18.766 --> 00:29:28.839
It's hard to pick up Emacs if you do not speak English. Can something be done to address that?
00:29:28.840 --> 00:33:54.479
Do you use Org or Org mode, and if so, to what extent?
00:33:54.480 --> 00:35:19.039
What do you have in mind for more modular Emacs development?
00:35:19.040 --> 00:36:18.639
Reframing the school question
00:36:18.640 --> 00:37:48.799
In light of that critique of JavaScript not being about the language per se but rather the "culture of blindly getting and running packages/libraries", what's so different with what's currently done by the vast majority of Emacs/Elisp users to just install packages blindly?
00:37:48.800 --> 00:38:54.879
Do you still intend to merge your patch to the "shorthands" feature to the master branch?
00:38:54.880 --> 00:40:27.919
Do you think the freedom e.g., we have in Emacs, becomes a hurdle for some people to pursue more important things in the world? I used to do a lot of Emacs programming, but I recently try to stay away from tinkering on Emacs.
00:40:27.920 --> 00:43:28.839
Question about software freedom: how does it apply to software that are art/media experiences, like videogames? In your view, Is the creator of a videogame obliged to release it under a free license?
00:43:35.915 --> 00:45:45.567
Have you seen Haketilo? It seems similar to LibreJS.
00:45:45.568 --> 00:47:09.799
Do you have any suggestions for helping propective contributers streamline
the copyright assignment needed to contribute to Emacs (and other FSF software
projects)?
00:47:09.800 --> 00:49:31.279
Can complexity induced by company-funded free/libre code become a problem, when the company pulls out, leaving the code potentially unmaintainable?
00:49:31.280 --> 00:52:06.250
What do you think of Hyperbole or EEV instead of org mode, or other things for the stuff that org mode does "second brain / knowledge base", or GTD 'getting things done' etc... among other things in Emacs or other Emacs packages
00:52:06.251 --> 00:53:02.999
Are there plans to bring modal editing (eg. evil-mode, viper) to Emacs core and did your opinion on modal editing change over the years?
00:53:03.000 --> 00:54:04.839
What is your opinion on the current state of large machine
learning/AI models?
00:54:14.302 --> 00:55:38.839
I thought it was a virtue to separate the content from the style orappearance of information. Part of being free is also to view information in the format that you want. Does your WYSIWYG idea erode this virtue and lead to more thinking -- perhaps undue thinking about style over substance?
00:55:38.840 --> 00:56:30.759
Do you ever dabble in retro-computing, e.g. logging into TOPS10/20 systems SDF, etc?
00:56:38.196 --> 00:58:04.479
Do you know Gemini?
00:58:04.480 --> 00:59:49.960
