I never really felt like scheme got annoying when configuring guix. I’m half certain most of my configurations for Guix services were just yaml configs with s-expressions

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.

Some, sure, but most people were upset that it was bland and followed the trend of other companies that have been removing texture or uniqueness from their brand logos in favor of simple branding.

I sincerely doubt Steak 'n Shake tweeting "fire the CEO" was a serious call to action so much as it was jumping on the hate train for fun.

The reaction to most companies changing logos now is just making fun of it. Look at cracker barrel.

Family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Knoxville, family goes to a non-denominational evangelical church in Amarillo. Both would probably be the same denomination but its unpopular to claim a denomination these days. After church its dinner that's a meat + 2 vegetables and cornbread. There's a big ford in each driveway that hasn't hauled more than dogs and kids since the day it came home. Maybe its just my biases but I just did not have any culture shock outside of how long it takes to drive anywhere out west.

I can see the similarities between Amarillo and Knoxville. Every city on I-40 feels similar to me until Albuquerque, having spent time in a number of Tennessee cities and having to visit wife's hometown in Texas.

Low key writing this has made me realize how much of my life has just been migrating up and down I-40.

Man are you going to be disappointed when you read the article.

Sure.

First its feet, then its head then split its belly 'til its dead.

Because by and large the apps and programs you are running on your computer requires lots of resources just to open and allow you to do your low-demanding tasks.

The Nixon memo is dated for 1980 from after Nixon was president.
