  • I have to ask: what’s with all the obsession with immutable distro?

    I guess the promise of having updates JustWork™? I don't currently use one but I see the appeal.

    However FWIW, unlike its namesake ChromeOS, the "Nixbook OS" this post is about is not actually an immutable distro: the instructions are to install NixOS normally and then clone the nixbook repo into /etc/nixbook and run its install.sh. Among other things it installs an update service which runs git pull on that repo as well as running nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade and flatpak update --noninteractive --assumeyes etc.

    Cheers to this guy for what he's doing, but the name is a little confusing. This approach works but it is not nearly as robust as the immutable distro paradigm implied by the name.

  • This thread right here, officer

    because they said cis?

  • Fridge Magnets have a practical use

    why do you think it's a magnet? it looks like a sticker.

  • Important context!

    They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.

    What? No. Do you really think their "sharing" with "partners" who are "providing sponsored suggestions" doesn't involve money being exchanged? 🤔

    Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:

    The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because [...] to make Firefox commercially viable [...] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar

    All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) "LEGAL definition" of "sale" is imo insulting to the reader.
