You would buy a smart watch or something and it would require running some weird Windows only app to set it up.

Unfortunately still the case for most BIOS updaters, RGB/cooling setups, and proprietary HID stuff. You need Windows for anything beyond the basics.

Does that one come with fishnets? Perchance?

It’s the basic human tendency to take an unbiased ideology, broadcast an unintended interpretation to generate a following, then build a cult that puts them in power.

The oldest trick in the book. And it sadly works, nearly every time.

So what would “Would you recommend Nix for a newbie?” reveal?

Appreciated! I’ve always hated that nonsensical format

Don’t worry guys. I don’t think it’s penful.

Ribbet

Rationale: soup or the night might have ribs in it

Edit: or whole frogs if you live in France

I miss this.

Joke’s on you bud. I use NixOS.

Curiously enough, home-manager supports Discord.

Just gotta put this into context:

They’re just pzombies. Herd animals.bundles of reaction and reflex without consciousness.

Sounds like condescending narcissist POC speak to me. No apologies.

We all start out that way. Not everyone is fortunate enough to grow in an environment that grants them access to education and insights into how tech works.

If you start thinking of others as lesser just because they’re less/uneducated about something then know that someone could be thinking the same of you.

Because it’s unfair to assume that everyone has the necessary education or awareness of what the internet is and what online privacy means that we take for granted.

I haven’t “used it” in years. I just keep the account alive because of OAuth and other factors.

No login with GitHub or X? Tsk tsk

Noping the heck outta that. All I want is better top-level organisation, you just described what I’d call an anti-pattern in my book.

I wouldn’t nest things that deep through so many different tools/framework/layers that can’t talk to one another. That’s just asking for trouble. You’d waste one of two things: time searching or focus for memorising and recall, you lose something either way. And in the case of the latter you’re bound to forget and start wasting time to search over time anyway.

Almost the exact opposite for me. Used to hog GUIs and hated keyboard shortcuts with a passion, but then I came across Niri, fell in love with the idea, and the whole scrolling window manager thing made my productivity explode. I can’t use traditional desktop environments anymore. Tried to go back and literally can’t.

Tmux wasn’t that far behind.

Can you name the thing(s) he did wrong with a why attached? That’s usually how you present subjective critique. Your preconceptions about a shared frame of reference with everyone else start fraying when you assume everyone sees the problem as clearly as you do, and I speak from practical experience.

I’m a NixOS fanboy now :/

Aww man. I hate it when this happens.

I’m having trouble registering your grievance as genuine, considering your post history and recent resurgence in posting on a specific ongoing event.

And what made this stand out is that I have your account tagged with shit-stain brown in Voyager, which I reserve for confirmed Zionist shills.
