About this video

A demo of Deldo, an Emacs package that lets Emacs hooks trigger vibration events on computer-controllable sex toys. It is an absurd teledildonics project that is half performance art.

Why it appears in the archive

Honestly the video is the most interesting part: [VIDEO] I can't quite figure out if it's performance art or enthusiasm. Probably a bit of both.

Um. It counts. There are elisp packages specifically for this after all. Other humans can even participate via the networked paired programming packages. Can your editor do this? HMMM? [VIDEO] [LINK]

Kyle Machulis sure loves Emacs. He wrote "Deldo - The Sex Toy and Teledildonics Mode for Emacs": [LINK] It's well worth freeze framing and reading the text in the list of all the different programming languages that Emacs supports. [VIDEO]

I think this video [VIDEO] Explains what languages correspond to which fetishes better. You can see the author is very subtle and only say it at 0:55 while discussing some languages. And plus it is Emacs! Edit: NSFW

That video is a trip: [VIDEO] "deldo-eugenics-mode and the end of the editor wars" sounds like a Harry Potter sequel that no one asked for.

>One thing hasn’t changed though - I still love Emacs and I’m quite passionate about it. As passionate in your love for Emacs as Kyle Machulis is? ;) [LINK] [LINK] [VIDEO]

The Beats Whoopie Pill functions both as an bluetooth microphone input and speaker output device, with an ultra-low-frequency-high-power woofer. But it's a real pain in the ass to install and uninstall. Fortunately, Kyle Machulis has written an Emacs mode that supports it. [VIDEO] [LINK]
