I'm curious: What's the general sentiment when writing plain text emails these days?
If you respond with f=f, do you have any numbers on what percentage of clients (especially those used by non-nerds) actually support it these days?
Boosts appreciated! 
I made email great again

I'm joining the carnival! 
"My decade with Org" is my post for the Emacs Carnival

Thank you @greg for hosting this month
I almost couldn’t bring myself to read this post. The thought of deleting snapshots of who I used to be is horrific to me, and I didn’t know if I could handle reading about someone else doing it!
Thankfully Justin only deleted his subscription to Day One,; he didn’t delete the actual records it contained.
Yet another case for always keeping the data and words you’d be sad to lose in simple text files.

It also made me curious about other text editors which don't require configuration, and don't tempt users to write hundreds of lines of configuration, but still offer powerful functionality.
Any recommendations for open source, opinionated, lightweight, UTF-8 supporting editors that don't break?
Watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M about the Acme editor.
It seems so inside-out from Emacs, so opinionated and so well thought-out on the other hand. Using text itself as commands / functionality, very interesting.
Before that I was jamming with a #plaintext workflow using markdown, coteditor + terminal.app (zsh) + #pandoc after getting red-pilled by @patric. (2/8)

Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?
Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.

In today's piece on digital scratchpads I talk about leveraging micro-friction by placing a life dashboard where you'll see it every day. I'm coming from the perspective of keeping daily notes in One Big Text File, but the principles apply to any daily note practice.
