Any chance of a link outside of twitter?

And `C-h` like your life depends on it

This advice will make helpful take over your help system (advice-add 'describe-function :override #'helpful-function) (advice-add 'describe-variable :override #'helpful-variable) (advice-add 'describe-command :override #'helpful-callable) (advice-add 'describe-key :override #'helpful-key) (advice-add 'describe-symbol :override #'helpful-symbol)

Yes. ***Ask Emacs!*** (And not just `C-h`: apropos, Elisp asking,...)

I use a browser redirect extension to automatically redirect Twitter links to [Nitter](https://nitter.net). Improves my web experience immensely.

Jesus. How lazy are you?
RichieHHam · 2022-01-27 21:13
It's nothing to do with laziness. I don't use twitter and its not normal for emacs announcements to be hosted there. If the op doesn't want to, fine. But will lose audience. I'm guessing you love twitter. Have a nice day.

The one I didn't know and that helped me a LOT is `C-h R` and `describe-face`
