Those are excellent names

Thank you. Videos about comparing Linux distros for gaming are clickbait at best, but are ususally an admission that the videomaker doesn’t know what they’re talking about at all.

Think about it like this:

• with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result

• with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix’s problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)

?

No but you see those are people

Yeah but they can at least buy their bullshit, i.e. “we help gut overspending and Make America Great Again”. What’s the supposed mission here? “We help you fap to people that don’t want to he fapped to”?

Oh god I had not even thought about the last part.

Their staff is either 100% male, or a disaster waiting to happen. Probably both. I would not feel safe there that’s for sure.

the Wernher von Braun club

LMAO. Except even dumber, they’re the von Brauns of the “fake illegal nude” world

For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it’s a tool, it’s not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; …)

I can not imagine the mental gymnastics of people working for Clothoff

You can turn basically any Linux distro into “Steam OS”. There’s nothing magical or different about Steam OS.

Matrix fits the bill.

Unless you don’t like the federated nature.

A Short Stay In Hell

Short novella based on this exact premise. If you have never encountered it before, I urge you to give it a read. It’s excellent. Also very disturbing.

Got a simple brother laser printer. Duplex, BW only, works flawlessly with Linux and as a network printer.

4-5 times a year I’ll need to print 10 pages. Add an additional one every two weeks.

The printer definitely paid for itself in convenience.

Ugh yeah, it feels like the show is making fun of Preservation, which kinda undermines the show. Contrary to what others seem to think here, in my opinion the added goofiness really detracts a lot from the show.

Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.

I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.

Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.

Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.

It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.

Yyyyyyupp

“Oh no, this device is rooted! :(” Yes because I know what I am doing, now show me my account balance you stupid piece of ahit banking app.

A photo of yourself, naked, in that very shower. With your dick enlarged to a comical size. (Or shrunk.) (Yes this is a gender neutral suggestion.)

I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but… More.

• allow any piece of information (news article, DM, sensor reading,…) to be wrapped in a standard format
• subscribe to any number of source directly or indirectly (e.g. through a self-hosted relay server)
• allow networks to define default data sources (e.g. get sensor data from machines as soon as you are connected to corporate networks
• make the data declare what UI elements are required,
• but allow clients to display them however the fuck they want
• allow user to assign priorities statically or programmatically to any source, and to filter, sort, categorize based on it

Essentially: I want “the feed” from universes like The Expanse

From NixOS? Nothing, unless it’s compatible with my nix config in a way that I can simply replace nixpkgs’ flake input URL
