Can you switch the order of the toolbars, by any chance? Put the menu bar on the top again, followed by the tab bar, then the message toolbar ?

Hey,

My thunderbird client(s) just got updated to version 115, with the new UI. Personally, I dislike it, and find it disruptive to have all my toolbars moved.

Does anyone know if there's a way to revert to the old, pre ver 115 appearance?

Thanks, -- Pat

Looking forward to this. There's several talks I'd like to see.

Ditto -- I've been keeping a central to me git repo for my settings for years. Any new machine I'm on 'git clone ; ./settings/setup.sh', then my pull'd .profile does a git pull on login.

As a Minnesotan, I, at least, welcome you. :)

I've had occasional SAD struggles, also. While there are purpose marketed lighting for this, FWIW, I found an off the shelf plant grow light from amazon for a couple hours in the evening while I was otherwise doing computer work helped me.

Good luck!

Can I please just get a car, instead of a rolling computer / infotainment / privacy nightmare?

I use org mode extensively, and yeah, gotta admit it's nice.

My biggest gripe is the amount of typing it still takes to annotate stuff. I often find it hard to keep up e.g. taking live notes in a class settings.

For instance, starting a new document and typing:

  #+BEGIN_TITLE
  Class XYZ Notes
  #+END_TITLE

Then later on I wanna insert a code segment, and, gotta:

  #+BEGIN_SRC javascript
  $var = "ooh, cool code, bro.";
  #+END_SRC

(yeah, C-c C-, s works, but I gotta remember that exists, and then also ewww generates in lowercase -- uppercase that shortcut output!)

And then I find I want a table, so lots of "|"s

There's probably better faster shortcuts for lots of this, but like everything in emacs, it's finding and learning them. Typically I need some downtime to do that, which doesn't happen if I'm e.g. trying to take notes quickly.

Anyway, despite this, I gotta agree org mode is really helpful. Happying org'ing to you!

I use "terminator" -- it has a different visual appearance, but does a lot of the same features, and some I think better. For instance split screen in various ways, and input multiplexed and sent to multiple tabs / screens.

Mainstream news coverage of the fediverse, mostly mention Mastodon, but seems reasonably balanced.
