How do I turn off Spacemacs’s tildes on empty lines?

I just installed Spacemacs, mainly for its nifty defaults. One default I'm not so pleased about is that it puts tildes on empty lines in the file. I've tried putting (setq vi-tilde-fringe nil) and (setq indicate-empty-lines nil) inside the…

Any way to get a working separator line between fringe/line numbers and the buffer?

I updated to Emacs 28 recently and org-capture now puts a small character in the left fringe for captured items. I know that I can set fringe-mode to no-fringe to not see any fringe, but that's not what I want. I want to specifically turn off or set…
