What is supper weird to me is how billie eilish songs very often don't start playing. I can click on anything in my library and it is fine. Trying to play billie and the app just sits there waiting.

I've seen comments on here from people with large Nix deployments with like hundreds of thousands of Nix script code and saying it is a complete nightmare to manage.

The hairiest bits like consensus and storage engines can however be taken off the shelf.

Storage engines can be taken off the shelf. My point is that multiple products solve this problem and they have jepsen tests done. They do not have a unique proposition as much.

The storage engine can be taken off the shelf. Lmdb, rocksdb etc. These are the key parts.

Fdb's main selling point was reliability. But with the proliferation of good raft/paxos implementations that I think is not that much of an advantage anymore.

India and China will still trade with Russia. Europe is not a single entity also. They need Russian gas now just as much as before.

The US is also really dependent on the flow of dollars going through SWIFT. Kicking countries out means alternatives have to come online. If those get too popular it poses a huge threat to the entire US dollar reserve currency system.

The article in general completely ignores the US role in all of this. The entire saga happened with the US interference in the last ukranian revolution. https://original.antiwar.com/rick_sterling/2022/02/24&#x

The US military industrial complex is left wanting, Biden has sinking approval ratings and nordstream 2 is about to be turned on. All signs point to needing to start a conflict by the US.

Apple has insane profits and multiple secretive projects only part of the company knows about. Much less their shareholders. They can literally spend tens of billions a year into practically anything without any kind of outside scrutiny.

Homebrew does not need to be in /usr/local everything will work fine running from your home folder.

There is nothing keeping you from installing homebrew in your home folder. It is completely painless. No root required.

There is X and now wayland. If you are doing something beyond basic you can quickly fall into needing two different implementations for GUI things. There is jack, pulse, alsa and now pipewire for sound. On the system you can have multiple s

As a cross platform desktop app developer I hate desktop linux. So many reinventions of the wheel that you have to support. Graphics, sound, video capture, GUI is all a mess.
