Not to mention VSCodium already exists.

I figured they would just run sfc /scannow and then sit staring at their screen bewildered when it inevitably does nothing.

That’s exactly what an old person would say!

The colours on that site are rather confusing. Defederated instances are shown in green and federated instances are shown in yellow.

I used to use that for ages, but the constant ads made me uninstall it

Just found this article about it that seems to fundamentally misunderstand it in every single way. I didn’t know it was even possible to be this clueless. Either that, or it’s AI.

When the spacing is tight
and the difference is slight, that’s a moire!

I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won’t apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.

While I agree with your sentiment, this is a terrible take.

There is always a reason for saying no, whether you want to share it or not. But that takes a backseat here because it’s an open-ended question.

You’ve answered in a very closed minded way and refused to elaborate on your position, therefore your opinion can easily be thrown away due to lack of evidence. At that point, why comment at all?

We just use PayPal or a straight up bank transfer over here.

I think OP missed your sarcasm though.

I want to try the funny Zuck sauce but I live in the UK so they’d have to re-do their tagline. Over here it’d be pronounced “the source is the boss”, which is just weird.

Craving carbs? Nah, you just need nitrogen. Just breathe some air, bro.

What even is that chart?

Subscribed, and when I soon run out of content I switch to all.

I dislike Reddit as much as anyone here but god do I miss the sheer amount of content.

Other countries declaring war will increase the value of the USD, as buying weapons from us government will decrease amount of money in circulation.

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding this, but wouldn’t that decrease the value of the dollar?

If the US Gov owns less weapons (because they’ve been sold) but the populace has the same number of dollars, then the value of those dollars must be decreased because there are less weapons backing it.

Her family tree must be a Penrose triangle

I think I’d find that annoying. If a player wanted to quickly switch to the other input method in an intense moment then they’d just be waiting for half a second for their inputs to register. They’d probably think the game is bugged!

The way I do it would work well. Treat such vectors as two separate components. Not as X and Y, but Direction and Magnitude. No matter how many ways you can find to break the input, as long as you clamp the magnitude you’ll never go faster than intended! This also conveniently solves the √2 problem when moving diagonally.

As someone who tried NixOS recently for the first time, it feels like an uphill battle.

Some immediate concerns I have as a newbie are below. Bear in mind that I’m a single user on a single system.

Organisation is daunting as fuck
Even a relatively simple desktop config seems rather large to me. I expect the complexity of my config to balloon if I were to use this as my primary OS. There seems to be no consensus on how things should be separated.
I’ve heard home-manager is good, but I don’t really get the point of it. What does it achieve for me that editing configuration.nix doesn’t? I’ve yet to find a benefit. It’s just another place to dump endless configs and another command to remember to run.

Installing software feels like the roll of a dice
I installed NixOS to try Hyprland, and their docs say to just use programs.hyprland.enable = true, which I’ve come to learn is a module. But that’s not the only way to install things! You also have system packages and user packages! I just want to install some software, I don’t want to have to look up whether it’s a module or a package every time I want something new. I’m never sure what I should add to which section. No other distro that I know of has this problem! Having 3 different places to add software seems excessive. What am I using? Windows? And now there’s Flakes too. I’m sure they’re great, but right now I just see them as yet another way to install software on Nix. Great.

There’s more, but I’ll leave it there for now. I’m sure there are reasonable answers to all that I’ve said, but I’m just frustrated. I really want to like Nix, but it’s not making it easy.

tl;dr: Two things. 1) Lack of consensus on how configs are organised is confusing. 2) Having 3 different ways of installing software (modules/packages/flakes) does not feel better than apt install or pacman -Syu etc.

This feels unnecessary. Users will nearly always correct people who post in the wrong place.

A wiki or a meta-megathread would probably be a better fit for something like this. Like a Yellow Pages for communities.
