JCS from Irreal is an #Emacs addict.

I can sympathise because yesterday (coincidentally when he was having problems booting it up), I also had a problem booting it up - hence my quip here on #Mastodon about how wise it is to use git on your config. I had erased a few things which I shouldn't have (I was paying less attention than I should have).

It's a panicked feeling of dread because everything is tied to it. Notes, links, journal entries, and the way you function in so many other ways.

The good part is that it's all in text files so there is literally no problem reading it in any other application which can open a text file. Nano (yeaaahhh no), vim, TextEdit, BBEdit, Byword, Pages - and the list goes on. On iOS, I even have Beorg and Plain Org which work wonderfully for that purpose. I had two little linux servers in my office - each with Emacs installed.

But it's not *your* #Emacs. It's not the one you use all the time.

You know what I mean.

If you're reading an #Emacs message, then you know /exactly/ what I mean. 😀
