Configuring Emacs Eglot for Optimal Performance
I use Eglot lots, every day, and have been for quite a while now (even since before it was part of Emacs itself). However, I've never really paid too much attention to its performance or how it can be improved. This is a useful read.

I feel like this project is jumping the gun quite a bit, but I also appreciate that it exists. I did also see someone say the other day that it's worth running with anyway to "get away from RMS". Which is far I guess.
Honesty gets Emacs patch rejected
The FSF, in effect, do what the FSF is there to do: defend the copyright of GNU Emacs. Meanwhile someone attempts to contribute a patch written by a large language model, and seemingly gets offended that it's rejected. I think the worst part about it is they seem to think that being honest about using an LLM should let their contribution in.

What modern Emacs packages am I missing?
Good little reddit thread about what "modern" packages there are that someone with an older configuration might be missing out on. My Emacs config started in 1994, got a reboot around 2017, and so is well over 30 years old in total and around 10 years old in its current incarnation.
I might benefit from this.
