Hi,

every time I try to get into orgmode (which is great) I have to deal with emacs (I ususally use nvim) and I feel that regardless of any productivity boost orgmode may give me, I will never recover the time I have wasted with emacs configuration issues - it seems to be just a very, very fragile ecosystem…

Here is the latest problem:

I want to use the modus-operandi theme and have added a use-package clause copied from the documentation.

But now when I open emacs I get a prompt, informing me that loading a theme can run lisp code and if I wanted to proceed, I say yes, I am asked if this theme should be deemed safe for future sessions, I say yes and then the theme loads fine - but only for this sesssion.

When I close emacs the whole thing starts again, so my question is: How can I get rid of this annoying prompt?

It’s a weird default. The file is literally a elisp code with .el like almost everything else.

No—it’s not. These days we think we need code for everything. Emacs is from times when people didn’t default to that assumption. Someone may have loaded a theme thinking it will just load some style sheet and not run code. Then—be surprised that loading a “theme” meant running code.
