Is it really a moat though? The same flake can still be evaluated without this service, it just takes longer.

- _cenw 2y agoAnd I can still install a snap on an Ubuntu Core machine by building my own distribution method, but it will be a downgrade from the experience of running "snap install something" that introduced me to it. So nobody does. Lix (yes, I will mention it again) essentially exists by a large degree because the overlap between the people that control Nix and DetSys is big, even very big if you look at CppNix.
- mongol 2y agoI don't follow this argument. Unless you chose to step in to DetSys ecosystem with this fh tool or whatever, this has no impact on you at all.
- otabdeveloper4 2y ago> exists by a large degree because the overlap between the people that control Nix and DetSys is big No, it exists because of sexual identity politics. 11 out of 12 of the Lix developer team are transsexuals. Clearly the selection isn't about technical issues.
- _cenw 2y agoWho's doing the identity politics now.
- anonfordays 2y agoClearly the Lix team.
- nothrabannosir 2y agoOk but they’re creating a good product, in their “own” space, not bothering anyone, and they increase competition which benefits the entire ecosystem, so to be frank… who cares? Lix is a net win for everyone. It would behoove us to stop taking pot shots at them because if you want nix to succeed, the presence of Lix is a net positive.
- otabdeveloper4 2y agoNot sure deliberate and obtuse fragmentation benefits anyone. If they started to fix some of the long-standing Nix implementation issues (namely, evaluation performance) that would be one thing. But what they actually did is rage-fork nixpkgs and register new domains.
- anonfordays 2y ago>Ok but they’re creating a good product, Debatable. >in their “own” space, not bothering anyone, and they increase competition which benefits the entire ecosystem, so to be frank… who cares? Sounds like White supremacy and Neo-Nazism. Why not say that about every other project that leftist enter and try to push their religious beliefs? >Lix is a net win for everyone. Most definitely not, fragmentation and religious proselytizing destroys projects. >It would behoove us to stop taking pot shots at them The truth shouldn't be hidden, regardless if they're "pot shots" or not. >want nix to succeed, the presence of Lix is a net positive. The Lix team are the ones that destroyed the nix community with their totalitarianism, leftist/woke ideology, and subversive actions. They are a net negative.
- _cenw 2y agoNobody is keeping cis people from contributing to Lix, and even if they did, it'd be far from them trying to eliminate you. Isolationism isn't genocide, you fetid moppet.
- nothrabannosir 2y agoTbh I'm starting to believe that Lix is a great litmus test to determine if someone was honest about "not caring" about gender identity. People who opposed the introduction of gender politics in mainline Nix, but now also dislike Lix... what on earth do they want? It's starting to sound like they just want transgender people to be unhappy. To your parent poster: you got what you wanted, "they" are "gone". What are you afraid of? That they're better? Even if they did reject contributions from cis people: let them! What if transgender people are inherently better programmers and we hold them back? What an amazing way this would be to find out. I disagree with the nazi comparison but I will leave it at that. :D (Inb4 "fascism")
