In this new video series, I talk to anybody who is interested to have a video call with me (so do contact me if you want!). The topics cover anything related to Emacs, technology, and life in general. More information in the announcement I posted: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2025-07-10-prot-asks-chats-videos-proposal/.

In my 1-hour talk with Carlos, I learn more about how Emacs is used for engineering in tandem with octave-mode. Another Emacs-related topic is note-taking with Org and the use of LaTeX. At parts we talk about scientific publishing and freely accessible knowledge. Some of that relates to free/libre software and the values it has. We also discuss general issues about life in Spain.
