Although in general it feels the same (possibly slower? because I didn’t compile it myself?), one thing that is much faster in Emacs 28 is the parsing of my huge Tasks.org file for work. Thumbs up.
I’d like to tweak my garden a bit such that I have ‘planted’ and ‘last tended’ dates on each page.
[[org-timeblock]] looks pretty good and like it’d fill my desire for a timeblocking tool for org-mode.
We [[watched]] [[Soul]] again.
I [[listened]] to [[What Social Media Meant for the Mass Protest Decade w/ Vincent Bevins]]
Also listened to [[Why Tech Makes Us More Insecure w/ Astra Taylor]]
We have [[national insurance]] in the UK.
Never really thought much about insurance before.
Returning a little to [[IndieWeb]] for following activity streams. I had been using the Fediverse for a while, but I find it a bit too fast paced, a bit too attention grabbing. For me. IndieWeb is kind of slow social media and that suits me fine.
hyperorg could be useful for me.

[[Updating to Emacs 28 on Linux Mint]].
