Notch’s Bugatti is far less likely to spontaneously combust (because it was made by professionals, not AI), and if it did, it wouldn’t affect as many people. Omarchy claims to be an easy version of Arch, when in reality, it’s just doing what every beginner would be doing, including all of the accidental security holes, and then adds some more weakpoints through the unchecked shell scripts.

Part of those 8 million do go into paying “the Hyprland guy” (Vaxry)'s salary, and he himself hasn’t been very politically correct. DHH also is quite open about choosing “anti-woke” projects (i.e. without a CoC).

If the parent was waiting on the child, it is notified of the exit status and the child dies immediately. ~ man exit(3)

USB-OTG should just have been named USB Power Bottom. That makes USB-Type-C the embodiment of a switch.

Linus has already chimed in, and wants Zstd to just use the standard way of checking for CPU features instead of rolling their own. Apparently, that would be even faster, compiling to a single jump instruction.

Ahh, I found you, Toby Fox!

Mutter is made by GNOME, what do you expect?

Then the deal needs to be changed. Contracts are not above the law 🤷

As a member of Hack Club, I can’t really believe that Hackatime is really slop-free…

The nixos-unstable channel actually does ensure a minimum set of required packages work: Those that would prevent you from booting. The compiling-from-source is because Hydra (the binary cache) only starts building once a package appears in nixpkgs-unstable, and if it immediately proceeds into nixos-unstable, or one of its dependencies is different there, that build won’t be finished yet. release- and versioned nixos- don’t have that problem, as they have a merge freeze, and are mostly fast-forwarded along unstable.

What would be good is a mechanism for Hydra to tell you “I tried to build this derivation, and it failed.” For this, Nix first needs to store build failure, and since store paths are input-addressed by default, you can also skip builds that will certainly still fail.

I used to use an old consumer Yoga, and now a new ThinkPad. Some say it’s the wrong way around, I say I want more than 2 cores and 8GiB of RAM. (Un-)Fortunately, I got hooked on the Nix and Tiling-WM drugs quite soon, and so there wasn’t a lot of distrohopping.

Not Linux, and of course the perfect OS.

You should try it, to get a taste of what is possible, then learn what to do, and maybe even stay. But it’s not for beginners, the terminal-phobic, or people that rarely use their PC.

It doesn’t need fiddling, but it invites you to do so. And the default setup is hardly a best practice: swap on a partition, no FDE, no zram… missing FDE in particular will require you to reinstall, and you better have found out how to do proper backups including metadata.

Funnily enough, XNU (the macOS kernel) is actually UNIX.

How does Mastodon‘s „Open URL“ work then? It works with the URLs I get from Lemmy, so it does support some other software…

No, since it is (officially) just for tracking adoption of Windows updates.

1. Create your own Codeberg repo for your configuration
2. Use Neovim, maybe with Nixvim

How do I do that with the SSD cache? Everyone just talks about it, but I can’t find any documentation…
