    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!

    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)

    haha, that would be hilarious! If that is true and you could actually identify here by the mere fact that there is only one possible woman - that would be so amazing (and of course bleak, but also fun!)

    This is not generally true and depends very much on where you live. In my hometown, the water was so hard, it ripped the washing machines. Next town, different water source, no issues at all.

    Sparkling water was popular in both towns.





  • She’s just going to the mailbox and checking to maintain a “normal” image, get some minimal exercise during her job that requires mostly sitting, and to sometimes “accidentally” run into other people. But to make this actually seem accidental, you have to sometimes go out when there is no mail/person.


  • Hm, not sure if Nintendo is the right target here. Sure, they are popular with a certain crowd, but the argument is not super convincing. Why would a Japanese company that has a global business unnecessarily get involved in American politics? What would there be for them to win? New tariffs? Try to find an American company and shit on them, that might work better. Like Disney, Amazon, Meta, Apple, for example. Apple in particular might be a good target at the moment. Their new products are shit, people hate the direction everything is taking, but still have a deep attachment to the company (weirdest kink ever, if you ask me).

    To me, Nintendo here just acts as a big corp doing big corp things. Make as much money as possible and wherever possible, don’t mess with politics. They would be a better target if this were about Japanese politics, although unfortunately nobody cares about politics here and the fascist lot is also on the rise (“Japan first” lmao).
