Does anyone have a good recommendation for shell/bash script replacements in 2025?
Thinking maybe guile?
I admit I’m lost with emacs completion (and related feature) packages.

Gadget question: I am looking for a tablet for #Zotero. Nothing too fancy, nothing too expensive, 11"-13". I don’t like iPadOS but prefer it over Android. Is there a Chromebook Tablet with decent hardware that can run native Zotero7 (and perhaps #Emacs)? Is there any decent Linux tablet? Those options would be preferable to the base iPad.
It was terrific. While my wife was in college and grad school getting her BSW and MSW, I typed all her papers including her theses on it using emacs and LaTeX (with BibTeX for the references and footnotes) and printed them on our 24-pin Epson dot-matrix printer which could do graphics and fonts at 180DPI. Her professors were really impressed at how lovely the Computer Modern fonts looked and the overall appearance vs the typewriter appearance form the other students. 
My daughters also used that combination for their high school papers. When the older one went to college, she was forced to take a class in using computers in which they taught Word and Excel. She caused a bit of a stir when she demanded to know where Emacs and LaTeX were instead of that "garbage" Word.
And it's here. The post we've all been waiting for. My god, it even has movies!

As an update on #emacs Mastodon.el, I'm liking it. There's a learning curve, which I actually think is good. I'm appreciating the small amount of resistance that makes it feel a bit less addictive.

Deleting my own add-hook call fixed the issue. This highlights the power of Emacs tools like apropos-*, describe-*, and toggle-debug-on-error for tracking down problems, even when the source is your own configuration.

released mastodon.el 2.0.0. :tada:
- adds encrypted auth tokens, either in auth-sources or in the plstore (default is auth sources: customize `mastodon-auth-use-auth-source` to switch)
- fixes to updating notifications view with `g`.
- removes dependency on request.el (uploads now handled with url.el. thanks to the efforts of @rahguzar!)
- fix user avatars not displaying in notifications view.
- add cycling of a post's full sized images (call `=` from a byline to view or hit RET on an image, then `=` to next and `-` to previous, `>` and `<` also work, as well as left and right.)
- fix some tests (prob break some others)
- add poll symbol to poll posts (as with poll notifs)

I'm reading Writing GNU #Emacs Extensions by Bob Glickstein. It's from 1996, but surprisingly still very illuminating.
Spent a bit of time playing with https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el Works OK, but I ran into many indentation issues (the completions appear with some offset). It's a bit surprising that such an useful package is not getting more love. I filed a few small PR -that's how you know I tried some package. 
I got interested in Copilot only recently - when it became free for some limitted use.
