No there’s a nerd who will obsessively submit the latest version of any popular software that does that to nixpkgs. Or suggest you use the flatpak.

It’s interesting how your comment did not talk about anything that’s unique to emacs.

It really sucks that everyone’s go to dystopia is 1984. Especially in this case given 1984 required the active participation of millions of citizens whereas Brave New World maps better where control is enforced through comfort and irrelevance instead of force.

The tech dystopia doesn’t even try to flatter us by assuming we’re important enough to oppress individually.

Why? Because some guy was pushed out of the friend group?

Very nice of Bazzite to adopt Drama Tuesday. They are true gamers.

Guix on servers is ok. I run Guix in my homelab.

The vast majority of what you’d want in a Guix server can be found in the services section and parts of the documentation that lay out how to build services. But it doesn’t have as many services available as nix.

> History will probably remember him as LTT, “Linus The Torvalds”

This is trolling right?

It’s not about circumventing the bans, it’s about the bans being in place to begin with.

Hi. You cannot log on to porn sites in Alabama which is subject to those documents. I think it’s crazy that you’re this naive.

I don't know much about car economics but I'd think Tesla probably should have built a truck to sell as a fleet vehicle first. There are very few car brands that aren't part of a larger entity doing b2b vehicle sales.

They’re not saying you’re crazy they’re saying you may be helplessly incompetent when it comes to interpreting social data. You probably aren’t a good reader either if crazy was your takeaway.

Grok 4.1 told me my writing surpassed the authors I cited as influence.

Honestly I’d rather google get their gemini tool in better shape. I know for a fact it doesn’t ignore instructions like Claude code does but it is horrible at editing files.

I’m pretty sure Claude would not work well in my code base if I hadn’t meticulously added docstrings, type hints, and module level documentation. Even if you’re stubbing out code for later implementation, it helps to go ahead and document it so that a code assistant will get a hint of what to do next.

Weird question probably but outside of the super esoteric distros running a bespoke package manager what stops someone who installs a distro like bazzite from just continuing to update packages? If they use apt for example then they'll still get updates when the repos are updated and most of these distros reuse existing software repositories.

Even if they are, Valve has a long track record of contributing back to open source projects.

You’re asking ChatGPT for advice to stop drone attacks? Does that mean people die if it hallucinates a wrong answer and that isn’t caught?

I have used Tao theme in Emacs along with rainbow identifiers for over a decade now (on light mode) and I personally prefer a less colorful palette on my text editor. Makes a nice contrast with my eboy tokyo/San Francisco backgrounds which I also love dearly.

Hello. In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

Yeah, you're always gonna have those.

I was just saying two middle class families living a thousand miles away from each other along I-40 were fairly similar to me. They are also considered in the same nation according to this map.

The only part of this map I'd quibble with based on personal experience is Birmingham, AL (and Jefferson County) is definitely in that same Greater Appalachia nation because I can't in my heart of hearts say it and Dothan, AL have anything in common. The most interesting thing in Dothan is a hardware store.
