So, nix-snapshotter? Also, Flox going all in on "environments" seems like such a choice. I'm sure that Flox is not encouraging shipping a binary-in-a-devshell to Prod, so it seems an interesting branding decision. It's h

I would have that concern, at minimum 100x more with random shitty unreliable SSL providers, than those being run by literal huge nerds and non-profits. Your analysis here is thin and lazy and that's being generous to your analysis.

I wonder how far a clanker would go if you toss if at a pile of Ventoy / "build instructions" and Nix. This is a pretty ideal place for Nix to shine.

If Sipeed had any idea how to run a product or software, the NanoKVM line would eat this alive. Fortunately, Sipeed is like most other chinese manufacturers and have no idea what they're doing. Did they partner with Manjaro for that on

Rust has been in the kernel for sometime now? With 6.18 to include significantly more including arguably the single most important component of Android, binder, entirely re-written in Rust.

I mean that every single time I reload Element I have to re-expand the filters to get to favorites. It's hidden. It's an extra click. It's extra cognitive load.

Cute that another (days+ old) comment of mine was down-modded and flagged at the exact same time you wrote this. You know, the one that stated literal facts and nothing else. I legitimately read the comment twice and couldn't parse it

by nixosbestos 1y ago
Still rooting for y'all but did you do any user testing of this? It constantly collapses the filters meaning it's absolutely more thought and clicks every time than just having the favorite button. It would be so, so easy to jus

It's not an odd sentiment at all, you would be ridiculed widely for running an unsupported, out of date Linux distribution too. You can do whatever you want, I left my true thoughts out, and kept it as impersonal as possible. As someon

I would pay money to never have users like you, even if my software incidentally worked on your intentionally terribly out-dated system.

Airbnb hosts that put textual descriptions with the address, and it only lets you copy the full text. Google Messages doesn't let you select OTP out of the text, you literally have to copy paste it to Gmail, then copy the code out. And

I basically agree with every word you wrote. But also, it means you wake up one day one day and tanks are rolling through the capital city, and the President is threatening American cities with illegal military occupation.

Dude, if you ever find out, let me know. I don't get it, and it makes me incredibly skeptical of people that acted like Linux was unusable until this god-send of a shipped default config came around. I cannot possibly roll my eyes hard

What on Earth does that even mean? "Freedom of speech" only extends to thinly veiled racism, but not criticism of the thinly veiled racism? I'm sorry, but what?

Dear Rust haters, lying about Rust in the Linux kernel is not effective for your cause, and in fact just makes it further look like you're throwing a tantrum. Downvoting me doesn't change the fact that more and more Rust is merged

I was going to roll my eyes at "Rust is a tire fire of complexity". Because it's not. Especially compared to C++. But then you just go on to outright lie in your second paragraph.

My friend, so much self-work, you should be proud. Contentedness comes from within. If you think about it, do you really want your worth to be determined by your career? Really? After beating the vices, investing in yourself? I'm proud

So you don't like it, I'm so sorry. I think it's a cluttered terrible screenshot, and I think KDE looks more consistent than Win11 or macOS. Nate's blog is full of detailed, significant, careful improvements to KDE'

I think Zulip is missing out on a lot by not having a "complaint" (SOC2-type2, etc) offering. I think Zulip is brilliant. Discord at least has "forums" for forced threaded discussions, and the in-room threaded conversati

Yes, changing distros to change DEs is simply nonsensical behavior. If one's distro doesn't support multiple DEs then it's probably time to reconsider if taking reddit's advice on the ArchLinux-spin of the quarter is act

downvote all you want, this is third time in a month that basically "opsec" failure would've been prevented by a password manager that binds to domains, or passkeys. Both of which people regularly kvetch about here.
