Git paid, not played.
We are trying to push ELPASO as the preferred package installer. Alternatively, directly clone this repo and make install
.
In your .emacs
or init.el
, use ONE of the following:
;; Applies to first-time Gnus users (custom-set-variables '(gnus-select-method (quote (nnhackernews ""))))
or, if you're an existing Gnus user,
;; Applies to existing Gnus users (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnhackernews ""))
Then M-x gnus
.
Enter the nnhackernews:news
newsgroup with RET
.
Gnus will only show followup comments for threads you read, so be selective. If you accidentally read a thread, or decide the thread is uninteresting, you may C-k
it to prevent Gnus from showing followups. Use C-k
liberally.
The signal-to-noise of the hackernews firehose is such that I often "catch-up" via c
to flush the unread threads.

From the *Group*
buffer, press g
to refresh all groups. M-g
on a particular group to refresh individually.
From the summary buffer, /o
redisplays articles already read. x
undisplays them.
S c
cancels articles.
Gnus beginners may find the interface bewildering. In particular, groups with no unread articles do not display. Use L
to bring them out of hiding.
