5fbe860b95 Prefer start-process to shell-command
Without doing any benchmarking (break this naughty habit), I'm preferring to
call `start-process` instead of `shell-command` in my `wallpaper/set`
function. I noticed that the `shell-command` call was unnecessarily polluting my
`pstree` call when I debugging my randomly changing wallpaper bug.

I'm mostly likely going to change a few more `shell-command` calls to prefer
`start-process`.

this... :/

7ae17daa98 Drop support for i3
While I first switched to EXWM warily and thinking it would only be temporary,
it seems like this switch is here to stay. It turns out that EXWM was exactly
the integration I've been looking for. How serendipitous it that I found it when
I did.

Thank you, @tazjin.

ba1034a9c8 Begin the Emacs email journey
While this commit isn't much (i.e. notmuch), it represents one brave step
forward in the quest for supporting email in Emacs -- something I'm estimating
to be somewhere between a 1.5x and 2x workflow booster.

67f060d6f9 Temporarily disable flycheck
TL;DR:
Problem: I ran into a bug where my computer wallpaper was changing every five
seconds whenever my init.el file was open and I was typing in it.

Short-term solution: Disable flycheck.

Long-term solution: Disable flycheck just for Elisp or just for init.el in
Elisp.

Post Mortem:
Warning: If you have flycheck-emacs-lisp-initialize-packages set to auto or
really anything other than nil, than the emacs-lisp flycheck-checker will spin
up a new Emacs instance, and evaluate all of the Elisp in init.el.

Why does this matter? Well, if like me, you have code anywhere in your
init.el (and any files downstream from init.el), that code will get evaluated
not just twice. But countless times... tens, hundreds, w/e. So... while you
might think you have code that is just running at startup this code will be
called incessantly.

As a dramatic, contrived example, if you had something like...

```elisp
(bank/send :amount 100 :to "wpcarro@gmail.com")
```

...anywhere in that your init.el would evaluate, you may end up sending
wpcarro@gmail.com millions of dollars. To make debugging this problem a bit more
complicated is that because this runs in a separate Emacs instance, you can't do
something like...

```elisp
(defvar already-evaluated? nil)
(unless already-evaluated? (bank/send :amount 100 :to "wpcarro@gmail.com"))
(setq already-evaluated? t)
```

...since the `already-evaluated?` variable will be local to the Emacs
instance. So if you needed a mechanism to ensure code like this runs only once,
you would need a way to share this semaphore across Emacs instances --
e.g. writing to and reading from disk.

7bb4201905 Support more fish abbr's for git
I'm sure that there is a fish package that supports git aliases or
abbreviations. This time, I'm preferring to write my own.

Side note: The more that I use fish's abbreviations, the less that I like them
-- at least for the way in which I'm using them.

6cf8517cab Combine google-{stuff,tooling}
Google-related files should eventually be moved out of GitHub hosting and onto
Google infrastructure (e.g. Git on Borg).

When I do this, I should run:

```fish
> git grep --ignore-case google (git rev-list --all)
```

To assess the reference I've introduced into this repository.

Other tools that should come in handy when I do this are:
- git filter-branch
- BFG repo-cleaner

27c57a1f16 Drop support for purpose.el
For now, my lack of understanding of purpose results in purpose getting in my
way. One day, I may reinvestigate this. For now, I'm attempting to learn Prolog
and Nix, which is occupying most of my tolerance for new technology.

0cd3b44ce3 Support evil-magit, refine
It took me awhile to install evil-magit because I believed that evil-collection
supported it. My grasp of Emacs bindings was enough to tolerate the strangely
"inconsistent" KBD support of in magit. Eventually though my tolerance waned,
and I verified that evil-collection does *not* support magit, and suggests that
users seek evil-magit. I did that. I do not regret it.

Installing Wilfred's refine.el, which is a lovely package for interactively
editing data structures. Go LISP!

274219cc63 Prefer somes? to some? in math.el
In a moment of strong opinions against variadic functions, I defined
maybe/somes? and redefined maybe/some? to be non-variadic. I'm not sure if I
feel as strongly about that change as I did when I made it. Either way, the
change remains and math.el is broken unless it consumes maybe/somes?, so... this
does that!

TODO: It may be preferable to augment my git history to remove the traces of

pristine git history and my tendancy to maintain the former is sometimes at odds
with my goal of the latter, I'm saving this work for a later date.

f739534203 Support fish shell!
After some back-and-forth, I'm trialing fish shell instead of zsh as my default
shell. For now, I'm porting the aliases.zsh into config.fish -- defining them as
abbreviations instead of aliases; this preference may change. See the commentary
in config.fish for more information.

A spent a lot of time in zsh and built much configuration, so supporting fish
may take considerable time. Here's some work that remains:

TODO:
- Port functions.zsh
- Port variables.zsh
- Port zle.zsh

b3342afbfa Temporarily disable code that creates circular deps
After attempting to package some of my Elisp libraries using Nix, I exposed
circular dependencies between modules that has existed for awhile.

I'm temporarily disabling this code since I do not have time to refactor
everything. When I get around to packaging everything, I'll need to resolve
these issues.

For now, I must carry on.
