IIRC move 1 space in any diagonal but that might be even before then

Checked the build.zig file for ghostty, seems to be for manpage generation. Zig itself doesn’t use Haskell though

I would put Russel’s reaction in “sehr Mäßig” and Toto’s reaction under “was hab’ mich überkommen 😭”

As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.

(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don’t get service types at all, let alone how you’d define your own service :( )

What are you on about? The open letter was specifically advocating against sponsorships and advertisements of the Military Industrial Complex. I.E. private companies who specifically try to turn a profit from countries going to war. Companies that literally earn money over people’s dead bodies. I think the people that wrote the open letter were very aware that being sponsored by the military was something that is hard to avoid. However there is a clear difference between being sponsored by a military and being sponsored by, like, literal death merchants

This Arch story reminds me a lot of a r/talesfromtechsupport story that went remarkably similar but had a less happy ending for the Linux enthusiast, where he basically disabled the TPM and couldn’t access the company network because the network seemed to only allow trusted machines.

Can’t find it right now but maybe I can do some digging once I’m on a computer

ah I think that’s where I’m at odds with a lot of lemmy NixOS users then 😅, since I am and have always been pretty hesitant to recommend NixOS to anyone in particular. I find the upfront costs of NixOS too big for me to recommend the OS to anyone who wasn’t already looking into it and knows its downsides and upsides.

I do agree however on the fact that using nix is purely beneficial. It doesn’t hurt if you just add a .nix file to your project, since it doesn’t do any harm to an already existing project. It can just install your build tools and then consider itself done, and if you don’t happen to like nix after all, the new installer makes uninstalling easier than ever. There is pretty much no downside to downloading the package manager, something I can’t say about the OS.

Having said that, I don’t think nix should be the end-all be-all standard in package management. I’m sure there will be other package managers that will be better than “nix but with yaml sprinkled in”, and are capable of improving the state of the art. At least, that’s something I hope to happen. For example, I have reservations about using a full-blown programming language for doing my project configuration (see people’s problems with Gradle for why you might not want that). I think a maven-style approach (where you’d have just limited config options, but can expand the package manager’s capabilities by telling it to install certain plugins (in the same config file!)), could be worth looking into, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t on the look out for a potential better nix alternative

I mean seeing how people here act after having been on nixos for a few weeks I would say it’s an apt comparison. I swear we weren’t that obnoxious when I started using the distro in 2019 D:

Yes but it would have been nicer to have a transition period in which both methods are supported for a little while so that you don’t literally break every extension in existence up to this release

I had almost forgotten about the bad reddit habits when I first made the transition to Lemmy due to being on mostly less popular subs, so I was kinda expecting a tildeverse.org experience when getting here.

Sadly I got reminded of the fact this is a reddit exodus when people kept talking about spez here, and how reddit so shit now, and how Lemmy is superior and just the general sense of everyone patting each other on the back and you know, Lemmy circlejerk.

I didn’t join Lemmy just for it to become reddit again :c
