This OS seems to have fixed all the things, based on what I constantly hear about it. Is Nix really all it’s cracked up to be?

I haven’t figured out an easy way to install a specific version of an app, which means that when an app update is broken I’m out of luck until a fix is released, so I’ll install the snap of the app until then (Spotify is a recent example). Don’t like that.

I think you can probably make the question a lot more interesting by asking them to implement max without using any branching syntax. I’m not saying that is necessarily a good interview question, but it is certainly more interesting. That might also be where some of the more esoteric answers are coming from.

I literally just watched the video from Louis Rossman, and came straight here. Pleased to see everyone already talking about it!

I actually vastly prefer this behavior. It allows me to jump to (readable) source in library code easily in my editor, as well as experiment with different package versions without having to redownload, and (sort of) work offline too. I guess, I don’t really know what it would do otherwise. I think Rust requires you to have the complete library source code for everything you’re using regardless.

I suppose it could act like NPM, and keep a separate copy of every library for every single project on my system, but that’s even less efficient. Yes, I think NPM only downloads the “built” files (if the package uses a build system & is properly configured), but it’s still just minified JS source code most of the time.

Nah bro they just all cheap asf

me and my zero friends who use it

I honestly can’t say I’ve noticed much of a quality difference, so it doesn’t seem like a huge value add. I might just be oblivious though.

Currently trying out Kagi, still on the fence. Boy am I blowing through the trial searches though.

Hanlon’s razor, but with coincidence instead of stupidity.

So they’re good with privacy tech and money.

I just bought a new wallet that has a coin pouch because I use cash (and coins) so frequently.

Even if I disagree with a political faction often, I’m perfectly willing to show support when I do agree. It’s the honest thing to do.

Yeah, it’s showing up on my hot feed too. I just noticed another 2+ year old post up there as well…

As much as I prefer other distributions over it, I am grateful for everything that Ubuntu has done to grow the Linux userbase.

It’s small, but here’s a real actionable item that you can do to help:

Put a gentle “Use Firefox” (or any other non-Chromium-based browser) message on your website. It doesn’t have to be in-your-face, just something small. I’ve taken my own advice and added it to my own website: https://geeklaunch.io/ (Only appears in Chromium-based browsers.)

We can slowly turn the tide, little by little.

Copy and paste:
