  • In my experience Nix on macOS breaks like every time I update the OS

  • I would recommendation installing Asahi ASAP though in case Apple breaks it like they did with OS 27.

    Did something happen? I was planning on reinstalling it with NixOS soon

  • Running Linux on a Macbook is also an option (what I currently do, you need a supported model though), and it would probably have better battery life than an rtx4060 laptop and you get the nice touchpad/screen/aesthetics. Alternatively, you can consider getting a different less power hungry laptop, and in both cases you can use a charging bank if you have to.

  • Not Arch or NixOS lol

  • Can't you use homebrew?

  • choosing a distro with specialised security hardening (immutable systems, Nix, Qubes, Bazzite) does matter; most of these will make new users unhappy or even question their sanity.

    Out of curiosity, as someone who's never used Bazzite/other uBlue/SilverBlue/etc, what makes it difficult for new users? I definitely agree with Nix and Qubes though (and SecureBlue to some extent).

  • One time when I was biking home from middle school the office got suspicious that I was biking instead of riding home in a car, and they had to keep me in the office and call my parents

  • I got banned from r/libertarian where the mod claimed that I broke a rule and I did not lol

  • AMD also recently dropped Linux support from the Vivado free tier. Although the support they had before was really bad

  • If yt-dlp/Newpipe still works over a VPN then Spotube with ListenBrainz plugin is an option, but it's extremely buggy and they're working on a rewrite afaik. Or use another YT Music client, or download your music and use an offline player. If you have the time and resources to self-host that's also an option of course.

  • I'm in the US and where I live I can't get a rheumatologist or counselor until January

  • I just bought groceries at Kroger and at the self checkout they flagged me as a potential shoplifter for having my helmet in my basket

  • Funny enough initially in the Bible people weren't supposed to eat meat at all, then they loosened the restrictions but had rules for certain species (although I don't recall if animal sacrifices started before or after this). Then in the new testament they did away with a bunch of rules but in a very vague way so Christians get to cherry pick what they want and when then argue about it with other Christians. Although there was also a story about a blanket or something with a ton of "bad" meat where god said to eat so I guess that counts as justification

  • if you're brainrotted enough on your giant tablet screen you could scroll six or seven yt sharts programs at the same time

  • ⚠️**Stay away from dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).**⚠️ This dangerous chemical shows an 100% fatality rate for those who have consumed it, and can cause instant death when inhaled.

  • As someone currently unemployed, does anyone have any tips for finding jobs not through LinkedIn?
