   I don't know how you're confused enough to read this as some kind of libertarian bend, but I'm not interested in the genre of political fantasy libertarianism exists in. I'm talking about the reality of the current admin

   There are plenty of juicy tidbits of info in your genetics that an insurance company would be very interested in having to not have to pay you when you need them, info that wouldn't be in a blood panel.

   I think my frustration with the people willing to send their data is that there's the "ideal world" where sequencing your DNA shouldn't lead to things like your government or insurance provider using your genetics agai

   This sounds like a great safeguard, for an administration that respects laws & precedent. Which we don't have right now.

   Uv addresses all of your complaints in an elegant way. It's ok if you don't understand its purpose, this list is confusing to me, it's incredibly specific and barely related to uv.

   I have tried Pixi, I was a big fan, but at the time it involved a LOT of manually editing text files & I didn't want to deal with that. And now I have a hard time imagining installing from Conda could possibly be faster than the sh

   You'll get it when your insurance company bought your profile and automatically added a ton of pre existing conditions to the list of things they won't cover for you. Or when the government decides to start rounding people up base

   It must be nice to live in a country that gives even 1 single shit about your privacy.

    Chrome/Chromium is not a bad browser, and that's not what the commentor you're replying to said. The chromium family all uses a single browser engine. It's bad for the health of the web if everyone uses the same engine.

    I have a spare laptop I could ship, it's running Linux now and cannot "officially" run Win11. It's a little older, Lenovo X1 Carbon with a chipped case & wonky touch bar for the Fn keys, but it works perfectly fine.

    As an American, I 100% agree. This is extremely frustrating. This community has way too many people who are far too comfortable, complaining about how an authoritarian government is making their comfortable lives more difficult. The current

    Yes, it is. At this moment in time, none of us get the luxury of a quiet, simple life. Burying your head in the sand & refusing to engage with the world around you is a choice, a tacit support of what's keeping you from that ideal

    Because we have the resources to support suppressing diseases that can outbreak and spread back home. I'm sure you can find a selfish reason to frame any one of these global aid programs, most of them are a fraction of the cost versus

    Uv works fine with tox, but have you tried nox? I only dipped my toes in tox, but I found nox around the same time and gravitated to it. I replaced PDM's "scripts" concept with nox sessions. I have a project where most of the

    I came to uv from pdm, and the only reason I switched is the sheer speed and simplicity of uv. Pdm is such a great utility, and it can use uv as the package solver, but uv still has it beat on raw speed, and it feels simpler to use (whether

    My complaint is about the features being added to these apps at all, not that they're paid or "useful." Make a new app, "notepad AI" or whatever, and let the rubes use it after coughing up some pocket change.

    I've been using Pinta, but I find it slow to open (Paint is also slow). Is paint.net quick to open? I'm talking 1-3 seconds; Pinta & Paint take 6-10 seconds. Granted, this is on a work machine with a bunch of AV and other thin

    You can control dependencies per platform https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/dependencies/#pl... Not sure if it's as granular as you might need

    I highly, highly recommend uv. It solves & installs dependencies incredibly fast, and the CLI is very intuitive once you've memorized a couple commands. It handles monorepos well with the "workspaces" concept, it can repl

    I'm just curious who they think will buy their shit when the whole market has no income. I guess nobody has ever accused a CEO of having foresight beyond the next 3 months.
