=============================
There's a lot of buzz around the remote code execution thing that involves
Git, but it seems to be more of a Git issue than an Emacs one. This might be a
workaround
https://github.com/califio/publications/blob/main/MADBugs/vim-vs-emacs-vs-claude/Emacs.md
if you want, and in the meantime, don't check out git repositories you don't
trust. There's no page for the Emacs Carnival
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Carnival for April yet, but you can start
thinking about the theme of "newbies/starter kits" already, and I'm sure Cena
or someone will round things up afterwards. Enjoy!

This is the plain-text version. There's also an HTML version that might be
easier to read. Depending on your mail client, you might have a command,
button, or link that can show you the HTML version. If you're in Emacs, look
for something that mentions text/html. More info:
