@muzzug@mastodon.gamedev.placeHmm… How bad idea is to start using Doom Emacs? 
I've been using #Emacs for the last couple of months now for all my daily work (I'm a translator, not a programmer) and here's a thought.
Of course, I stumbled upon rather contrasting recommendations:
1) Don't use vanilla, use #DoomEmacs or #Spacemacs. Preferably Doom. Well, I tried this in the past, but it didn't stick. It''s everything and the kitchen sink, but you generally don't know if you really need all this. So you study Doom, not Emacs. I might get back to it in the future. I did prefer Spacemacs, though (aesthetically).
2) Use vanilla and spend ten years building your own config. This sounds fairly reasonable, because you naturally learn the program itself, not its plugins. But it's a huge timesink when you start to "build your own Emacs". So you'd end up with DoomEmacs, but badly written, slow and constantly breaking on every update.
I went with the second alternative and here's what I got for my personal usecase:
me@desktop:~$ grep "use-package" .emacs.d/init.el | wc -l
8
Eight packages. howm, inkpot-theme, which-key, avy, counsel, general, annotate, markdown-mode. I didn't even bother to make annotate work for now, so it's 7. And I don't really use avy, so it could be 6.
That's all I need for now. For several months I haven't had a moment yet when I thought that I need something else or that my workflow is getting somewhat cumbersome.
Of course, this doesn't mean that my setup is perfect. But my point is: configuring your own Emacs could be way easier than you might think (depending on the workflow), and you probably don't need to fight a bazillion packages waging civil war in your config file.
Unleashing the Power of Doom Emacs: A Modern Configuration Framework
Doom Emacs is revolutionizing the way developers interact with Emacs by providing a fast, efficient, and customizable configuration framework. Designed for those who seek a blend of performance and si...

recent #doomemacs org changes where #orgmodern is now used instead of superstar , absolutely wrecked my org-mode setup. it looks terrible at this point. ill need to cobble together bullets to match old setup. #emacs
i helped a coworker (mainly in the form of encouragement and a great sales pitch) get #doomemacs setup today.
anyone authoring helm charts in #emacs have package suggestions? moving around in them is clunky and yaml major modes are noisy with errors.

dafuck is this trying to tell me? I'm in an #OrgMode document and it keeps showing me these square brackets in the status bar at the bottom. It's only in THIS document though.
I thought maybe I had some broken link tags or something but there are zero square brackets in this document. (confirmed with grep and ripgrep)
@yisraeldov@linuxrocks.onlineSo went through a few complicated setups now that I have time.
#neomutt was ok but clunky to use.
Set up mbsync and msmtp with #nix, and they seem to be working fine.
Had Mu4e working in #doomemacs , I like the defaults in doom, but when it comes to customizing it like valina #emacs, it seems to fall short.
Now I'm trying to get mu4e set up in my vanilla emacs config. We'll see how it goes, and if I get sent to spam again.
Is #DoomEmacs only intended to be used in a terminal? I really can't find anything in the docs that says it's not intended to be used from the #Emacs GUI application, though there are some minor hints that it might be possible on a Mac, or possibly Gentoo Linux? 
#Emacs (or more specifically: #DoomEmacs) people:
If I have the following lines in a buffer, is there a way I can I quickly show a character-wise diff between them? (Preferably by visually selecting them and running a command.)
```
expected: "1729586933081/-O9nPXnrHyu_6JftQXGQ"
actual : "1729586933081/-O9nPXnrHyu_6JftQXGP"
```
I just wasted way too much time saying “it’s the same picture”, when it's not. 
Cómo empezar con Emacs: Distribuciones
La experiencia inicial para quienes prueban Emacs por primera vez puede ser un poco intimidante. Una posible alternativa para facilitar el proceso: distribuciones.

Un hecho de empezar a usar Emacs es que la experiencia…
picandocodigo.netWhy does the Greek font become bigger when a phonetic mark is added?
My setup is Doom v3.0.0 pre and emacs 29.1 with Doom default font.
#doomemacs conf is starting now in Discord!
@lopeztel@fosstodon.orgApparently we have access to GitHub #copilot at work, been using it in #neovim 
and it seems pretty useful... Is there a way to get this in #doomEmacs 
? #askTheFediverse
The great thing about using Doom Emacs or any evil mode editor at work is that you really don’t need to worry about regular people snooping on your stuff because the interfacing is password protection enough #emacs #doomemacs #orgmode
Ok #nvim #vim or #doomemacs nerds, how do i `di"` without yanking to my clipboard?
Eg i have copied some value and i need to replace text between quotes with the new value

After +20y of /vi/#vim/#neovim/*vim distros/ and having tried/used every editor on the face of the earth and many notes apps...... I decided to take the plunge with #DoomEmacs and #OrgMode. HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THEM UNTIL NOW!?!?
I like Doom Emacs because 1) I hate Emacs convoluted key combos; 2) it comes fully fledged and very familiar to what I was using latest ( #lazynvim ); 3) evil-mode-everywhere; 4) which-keys.
(Doom) Emacs is truly an amazing IDE now. One that I tried to recreate myself in the past few years with nvim lazyvim and others. Doom Emacs feels perfect to me. I'm also starting to understand and like emacs-lisp. One day maybe I'll go vanilla and DIY.
Org Mode is just fantastic. I could ditch office suites, notes apps, blog engines, presentation, music players, and lots more. I intend to do so ASAP.
And because I want to go DAWless with my music setup ( #SynthstromDeluge FTW ) and I'd code for a living (working on it) I may switch back to Linux as well. After all I switched to Mac in 2012 - after many many years of "hardcore" usage - mainly because of Ableton and my attempt at "making it as a musician" and then as sound designer. No grammys so far....... Beforehand I used #Linux exclusively and made music anyway....
I feel I am going to miss some software.and the flawless Apple integration but given how everything (not just Apple) is turning to shit..... it may be time "to go back home". I'll keep using my iPad for music tho and not sure about ditching the iPhone. Android just doesn't cut it. I'll try to export/convert what I can.
Also, I have bought a split columnar keyboard and switched to Colemak DHm (matrix). Still learning but all pain and RSI is gone after a couple of weeks already! I am adjusting to it nicely and LOVING IT.
In the mean time I finished Zero 2 Production and finally started coding my itch to scratch #RustLang app with #Crux by Red Badger.
Cheers
Anyone know the recommended way to project search for lines surrounding a match (eg like greps -A2) in Doomemacs? Im using vertico if that matters.
#Emacs people:
I use Doom Emacs almost stock out of the box. I'm a vimmer by heart and don't know much about the Emacs ecosystem. What the hell is enabled by default in Doom that makes it so when I press " it automatically inserts two quotes ("")? Similar things happen when I press the left paren or the left square bracket. I want this completely disabled. How do I do that? Thank you!
