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.
HN mostly links it as a joke in Emacs threads, though one commenter calls the video the most interesting part of the Deldo project.

I LOVE Emacs, but I HATE it when I have the irresistible urge to edit text, but Emacs has dead batteries. ▶ this video
Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023 [Colorized]: link Interview with a GNU/Linux user - Partition 1: link Deldo - Vibration Control and Teledildonics Mode for Emacs: ▶ this 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. ▶ this video link
That video is a trip: ▶ this video "deldo-eugenics-mode and the end of the editor wars" sounds like a Harry Potter sequel that no one asked for.
Honestly the video is the most interesting part: ▶ this video I can't quite figure out if it's performance art or enthusiasm. Probably a bit of both.
>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 ▶ this video
I think this video ▶ this 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
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. ▶ this video
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? ▶ this video link
