It is terrible indeed, but I’d rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years…). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.

I’m a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it’s far from a good desktop experience.

Terrible still, but dude I’m happy I’m over here and not in one of the other camps right now.

How do you know that?

We should be grateful for every vegan trying to save animals/planet/… and generally leading their life in a way that does not fuck up everything for everyone else.

For every “annoying vegan” there are 100 annoying non-vegans complaining about them on the internet

Grab 'em by the pissy

Hm, maybe the reference was not clear or maybe it was and we’re stuck in layers of implied references:

Do you guys not have phones?

Easier said than done though. If the results are non-significant, that can be due to all sorts of things only one of them being a lack of an actual effect. If your measure is bad/noisy/not well calibrated, your research plan has flaws etc., the sample is too small, … Most non-significant results are due to bad research and it’s hard to identify the other ones. Preregistration and registered reports are some ideas to change that

Also the arrow buttons are touched in the wrong order imho but ok

Chicken are real though

Independent of whether this is AI or not, this is how such plates look like. It’s sad if that is so far out of someone’s reality they have to call the AI card.

No offense. I’m sending this from a place where a meal like this would unfortunately cost me at least 5 of my kidneys 🥹

Hate them all you want, but it takes a fraction of the space in my tiny kitchen, compared with a convection oven, and does the same job.

I thought this is a useful campaign until I reached the row about Karen. Don’t be a snitch.

Wasn’t he the guy that got sneakily served wine by his daughters because they desparately wanted to sleep with him? Most believable plot ever

I’m interested in the topic in general, but not in explaining that declarative systems don’t solve the problem of continuously changing software (e.g., for security updates, changing landscape), and the need to update configs that goes along with it. Hope that helps!

Okay, not really interested in this discussion. Of course, I can also keep running Debian 10 forever

Except that things change as well in (or rather “around”) declarative systems, and you have to update your config files as well. That’s because the underlying software changes, and it has nothing to do with whether your system is declarative or not. You just need to put in the work to update your configs at a different point in time.

For everyone who doesn’t have several different systems to maintain, I find the advantages of nixOS to be marginal. Sure, you can argue about atomicity and all, but honestly I don’t remember ever running into a serious problem with debian either. The huge package repo is nice, but I rarely encounter an app I can’t get through apt, flatpak, or as an appimage.

At the same time, nix also has various downsides. Documentation sucks. There are two main ways to manage the system, they both pretend to be the better one, and it’s super hard to even get started. That’s not an issue with the technology, but just a lack of priority. Guix is much better on that end (but also comes with the same marginal advantages).

On the other hand, debian has a stable community, with proper processes, democratic structures etc.

This is a nice, kind of old presentation from debconf, where people discussed nix and how this could be useful in a debian context as well:

So, if you FOMO, don’t worry. Debian and other options have this on the radar and have their ways to adapt (even if slowly)

Does she have all teeth in her mouth or just still keeps them somewhere?
