System Crafters

Learn how to craft your computing experience and understand how everything *really* works. Emacs, GNU/Linux, Guix, systems programming, compilers, tools, etc.

If you're interested in learning how to use and configure Emacs from the ground up, check out the Emacs From Scratch series I started about a month ago. We make new episodes live on YouTube every Friday!

I used vanilla emacs when I started with it 15 years ago. Then I announced init.el bankruptcy and used Spacemacs for a long time. The time has come to go back to vanilla though! I am following awesome @SystemCrafters videos and I think I will make it through this time :D

Who are the top voices in/around emacs these days? Asking for a pod...

[System Crafters @SystemCrafters]

To Emacs users who haven't become comfortable with Emacs Lisp yet:

How much would your Emacs experience improve if you knew how to write Emacs Lisp code at an intermediate level?

Do you have something specific in mind that you'd do with it?

Feel free to reply via DM!

@dhh Clearly it should be Emacs on the right side.

A computer you're not empowered to fix is destined for the trash dump.

@PabloBernardoTW If you are just starting out, might be worth trying Doom Emacs first to get a sense of what is possible with Emacs, them eventually make your own vanilla config once you know which packages or features you like

Wrong time advertised on the tweet, it's 3PM UTC! Time changes :)

🔴 Today on System Crafters Live, we will be exploring the potential of AI assistants in Emacs!

We'll integrate OpenAI's GPT-4 and GitHub Copilot into Emacs to find out if they can revolutionize your workflow.

Today I finished the Emacs from Scratch series. Thanks @SystemCrafters for this whole series, without it my setup wouldn't be so good and I wouldn't have enough to understand and solve things.

[System Crafters @SystemCrafters]

On today's stream, we'll be discussing why Mastodon and ActivityPub are better for Emacs users and configuration hackers!

Join us live today, 11/25 @ 4PM UTC. See you there!

@pocmatos I only have my personal account there:

Trying to avoid fragmenting things there like I did on Twitter :)

[System Crafters @SystemCrafters]

As I mentioned on the stream yesterday, there is a growing Mastodon community for Emacs at the https://t.co/1qEGyNg34g instance!

If you're interested in trying out Mastodon as a Twitter alternative, you'll have a great time there.

[System Crafters @SystemCrafters]

I have an existing account on the Fosstodon instance but you can still follow me with an Emacs instance account!

If I were to give a talk about Emacs at NeovimConf, what do you think it should be about?

Serious suggestions only, this is not a joke :)

[Mickey Petersen @mickeynp]

Got tired of writing queries for #emacs mu4e using strings. It's uncouth and un-lisp-like.

Thus, mu4e-query, that lets you write queries using s-expressions:

Keen on feedback.

[System Crafters @SystemCrafters]

Join us LIVE today, Nov 18, as I try to convert my Emacs-driven literate system configuration to Guix Home! This should be a lot of fun 😎

@antonioJASR @ThePrimeagen @sudobunni Attendees would probably wonder why my Neovim looks really weird

[David Wilson @daviwil]

This month I'm joining the #GitHubGameOff game jam, making a 2D platformer with my own Lisp and game engine.

I'll be live-coding on the @FluxHarmonic Twitch channel in 15min: https://t.co/cYWT9wqE5C

Let's jam on a game to @whitebataudio synthwave 🎮

@ThePrimeagen Hey Prime, I heard there's this cool new editor called Emacs, you should try it. I've been told it's really awesome for JavaScript development...
