      Theres an emacs map plugin, and a webkit browser, and org mode is basically notes + calendar, you can edit and copy remote files with tramp mode. Theres also an emacs plugin for launching steam games.

      Emacs comes with a plugin called “doctor” which is a rudimentary text ai from the 90s

      One time I wanted to edit a binary file and I found out emacs comes with a hex editor

      Probably. I recently installed a bunch of packages so now I use emacs to check my RSS feeds, look up the current word’s definition or synonyms, browse Gopher and Gemini sites, check my email … I told myself I was doing it just for fun to see how much truth there was to the whole “emacs is a great operating system” joke but I genuinely love how handy it all is and I’m worried I’m going to keep falling in even deeper. A part of me does dislike not using purpose built programs for each of those functions (“do one thing and do it well”), but it’s been a fun experiment so far
