I pushed the largest TV off a window ledge at an electricals store because I wanted to watch the TV, so I put myself between the TV and the window. Obviously I’d never lifted a TV before and had no idea about their centre of balance. Because it wasn’t tied down properly the store was reprimanded and my poor mother didn’t have to fork out. I think I was around 4 or 5

Jimmy Dore, like Russell Brand, is far from a “lefty”

The same is true for all package management systems that work the way that the AUR does.

Exactly. I have no problem with people trying to make money from software, but FOSS tools should be supported over proprietary ones wherever possible, and it’s nobodies fault that FOSS is often the better technical choice anyway. As someone with ADHD: fuck all ads, I demand a peaceful mind.

It’s a shame to hear that all the advances in proton & video game performance haven’t translated into CAD tools? I was hopeful this thread would have good news on that front!

I’m about 20 hours or so into my nix journey, with a similar background to OP. I’ve so-far moved to flakes, implemented a basic config for Darwin based on https://github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config
I’ve built a pkg override for emacs-overlay but I haven’t managed to keep it in scope since moving to flakes. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
For a specific project, I’ve implemented a new flake which uses https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv to set it up automatically when I cd into the project. Then (I’m especially happy about this), I’ve managed to get rootless podman working nicely in this setup, hopefully producing a low-maintenance yet cross compatible dev environment for Mac and Linux.
I love the fact that I can add all my homebrew taps, casks and brews into nix right away so that I can replace them one by one.
The beauty of all of this is you can use as much or as little nix as I like. For my server, I plan on running k3d first, then moving configuration piece by piece into nix as I learn & grow.
Hope that’s helpful :)

This is cute, and we’ll written, but damn, please ask one or two questions sometimes 😂

When do the UN start calling out states for eco-terrorism when they delay and build obstacles? I think all the countries who have reneged on their Cop 26 commitments should be tried for terrorism and fraud, with proceeds going to countries most affected by this earth-viability crisis.

I decided to write-up some tips on how I've tweaked my Emacs for Ruby development after starting to write Ruby again for the first time in some time. I hope it's useful - feedback very welcome.
