What's the difference between Emacs's native package distribution method and a cockney guy describing his participation in a torture fetish with his female colleage? (feddit.uk)

This took a while to drop, but fuuuck, did it hurt when it did. In a good way.

I don't understand the joke, but WHY DOES A TEXT EDITOR HAVE A PACKAGE MANAGER?

[-] eruwero@ieji.de 3 points 9 months ago

@mech @tetris11 other editors etc. call them plugins, but almost every larger piece of software has some way to install extensions built in

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Cos otherwise you'd be manually patching and eval'ing extensions every time you wanted to extend functionality.

As for explaining the joke, I refuse to -- my comedy genius knows no bounds, and if it can't be appreciated in this era of human civilization then I shall wait until the next
