Vlog on Emacs documentation culture
About this film
In this video blog I do something different than what has been the norm lately: I just to talk about Emacs rather than demonstrate some of its cool functionalities. My thesis is that Emacs has a strong documentation culture, which extends to the entire experience with this tool. I also discuss how Emacs is the vivid realisation of the GNU telos, which is codified in the four freedoms . Your day-to-day usage of Emacs will most likely cover—or directly benefit from—all of them: to use the software as you wish; to study its source and to modify it; to share the original; to share your changes to the original. Combined with its documentation culture, Emacs is a microcosm of the GNU project’s vision for software freedom. While not related to this video blog, here is my dotemacs, in case you want to exercise some of that freedom: protesilaos.com/emacs/dotemacs .
