Ask HN: Did Elon Musk buy Twitter for a political agenda?
I do not follow any politician. My timeline has always been tech and venture capital. Now when I open "X" it is all Donald Trump. I fucking hate it. No opinion on the man, but I hate that I have to see all this. Is it just me? Did Elon buy X for this specific purpose?

Ask HN: Org-mode, Emacs, and non-Emacs editors
I've heard so much over the years about org-mode and how it is an absolute lifesaver, it is the god of organization for one's brain. (That isn't meant mockingly, but I'm trying to convey how much it has been built up.)
Unfortunately, even when I was on Linux, I went for nano or pico, and on other systems I've been a BBEdit or Notepad++ user.
For someone who never learnt the keystrokes necessary for emacs, and so never really experienced org-mode, can someone explain why org-mode is so lauded, and what it does that is so unique when compared to other organizers, to-do lists, etc.?
Is there any way to achieve that effect outside of emacs?
Thank you. Please note: this is meant sincerely and is simply a plea for insight and/or to look at the product from the view of someone who uses it and understands it. I'm basically looking for that insight of the knowledgable, wanting to know, I suppose, what I'm missing out on ...
