@futurile @dthompson hopscotch

@luis_felipe @futurile people often say "Hello Guix" in the IRC and mailing lists as if referring to everyone by that term

@mragkousis I did! I'll reply to them either tonight or tomorrow.

@emacslife lol

@mragkousis Definitely interested! Is there a confirmed date yet?

Experimenting with @susam's Devil package to streamline standard key bindings when using Emacs inside of Termux on Android.

It's useful, cleverly designed and has some nice benefits like its own key repeat mechanism since you can't hold comma down as a modifier key.

I like it better than god-mode because it doesn't require you to keep track of what state you're in, just press the comma key anywhere and follow its translation rules.

@ctietze @jbaty burn C-c C-l into your fingers and live a happier life!

@a @cwebber @dthompson congrats! I figured that must be why you showed up in that email thread 😉

In today's #SystemCrafters video, I discuss my reasons for using Guix over NixOS.

I'm not comparing features in this video! I'm merely giving my perspective as a long-time Guix user. If you're a NixOS user, I'd love to hear your input!

@barocio thanks for pointing it out!

@robjperez glad to hear it helped!

Working on a 'git reflog' video. This is gonna be good.

@abcdw damn, using an LLM for that is a fantastic idea

@shom thanks!

@alxlg it is certainly possible, but you'll have to make sure you replicate the shell configuration that was originally provided by the distro to ensure you don't break essential environment variables, can make your desktop environment unbootable

In today's #SystemCrafters video, I'll show you how to get started with Guix Home by putting together a small "home-environment" configuration that customizes Bash and integrates your existing config files.

I'll also show you how to test your new config before applying it and how to roll back changes when things go horribly wrong!
