I converted a coworker to the church of emacs

=> I converted a coworker to the church of emacs

It seems i accidentaly converted a coworker to the church of emacs... well it was a couple of months ago when she told me how much stuff she does note on paper and that her desk is cluttered and she is drowning in too much information.

Just wanted to say hi. I think I'm not going to proxy content from http to gemini and vice versa, I think it is just not worth it. Gemini has always been an alternative and not a replacement, so it makes sense to just put a link to the web when I feel like.
