The main issue is that it tries to fix government trust issues with private actors trust issues. It’s still trust issues
You may take a look yourself at the repo while I will try to describe it below.
I use nix-darwin on top of nix installation to manage most of system settings and build.
I am not quite sure now, but I think, I remember having to do xcode-select --install
, can’t quite remember if that was part of workaround for issues or part of normal process. Oh, and there were some discoverability issues with bin directories, I had to work around them by adding extraInit
to zsh
that includes binaries into PATH
. This might be based on my poor skills in configuring everything, though.
Some of the packages needed are installed from nixpkgs, but some are installed by brew based on configuration.nix
so these have to be upgraded in brew and don’t get upgraded upon rebuild (it looks like the intended way would be to wipe them on each rebuild, but that would take longer)
I develop in Rust, so I also use rust-overlay instead of rustup
to manage Rust and nixpkgs-cross-overlay for cross-platform builds. Build scripts also create docker containers descripted with nix in our case.
There were regular issues with Nix installation upon macOS updates, requiring me to either add back Nix to zshrc
or completely reinstall it (the latter was not necessary, likely), but those seem to be fixed, as of now.
I think you will have less trouble managing reproducible machines with Nix, but I also think that it will require a bit more than just copying config and running Nix. There will also be issues of installing some software and packages locally, that will allow the developers to break builds across the machines when one have something locally that other doesn’t, but this can be mitigated by processes and getting them acquainted with Nix, at least it did it with me 🌚
Nix is so good when it works, when I read such posts I feel strongly compelled to use it. I also use it and maintaining build and system with Nix, especially on macOS is sometimes huge pain, unfortunately
Debian stable is an incredibly low bar in terms of new packages. I’m on NixOS, too, if that matters, and I don’t have a strong opinion on how fresh packages are, although I do find it far from ideal in other areas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s not those who care about it that are an issue here
I am deeply concerned that as the Republicans move more toward fascism, the left are not going to have great candidates
Well, the Republicans Democrats will have an option of being “less fascist party” by then. I feel like the future is not too bright, somehow
Edit: mixed the opposites somehow 🫠
It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists
This is the art level of fuckery, making it this bad was definitely harder than making it okay
Nah, that’s different, you see
Also kind of the same as when the US companies transferred technologies to Japan in order to produce there for cheap, and then destroyed nearly all of domestic manufacturers with the import
I kind of see how letting your own industry sink because you want to minimize the cost is a bad thing, but I also don’t think that going sharp 180° after that and trying to impose extreme taxes out of the blue because you suddenly realized that your money was spent on the development of another country is good.
It would be nice, of course if none of this went into military and police there (or anywhere), but that’s wishful thinking :(
I think, they are only paid indirectly in that the money are spent on propaganda to make them act like this
You didn’t listen when we told you there’s malware in torrents, so we put malware in torrents
So, I guess some art is saved¹ in this event
$45M [of] Masterpieces Risk for Assange’s Freedom: An artist threatens to destroy $45 million worth of masterpieces, including works by Picasso and Warhol, if WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange dies in prison, spotlighting the clash between art and activism.
Ey used the wrong word, but this in fact is correct. Once lemmy gets popular, bot farms will definitely will siege it, and the amount of “bots and shills” will rise
Well, actually, “well actually” comments under shitposts usually add ironic value and aren’t too serious, at least most of what I’ve seen
Chill, man, there’s only so much space to add new names to this meme
uBlock Origin is also not piracy, but it is the real way to block
Yeah, the propaganda machine is running full steam, and the worst thing is you never really know if something is said in good faith or by the bot account.
I heard that they employ a lot of different strategies, among the other goals it is to plant doubt, so even if something sounds half-reasonable it may still be part of the propaganda :(
What a better place the world could probably be if all this effort went into something good
Ach, well, a known method to create a nice discussion
