Of course you can also install the Nix package manager outside of #NixOS, for example on Debian or Arch, and that’s a great way to start.

At some point, the software you’ll want to run needs enough system integration that running NixOS (not just the package manager) becomes a good idea.

See also all my posts in https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/tags/nix/ for how I would recommend you get started / what I think you should know :)

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

@mntmn @holo_memory I assume that no update on the Reform Next means that everything is roughly going as planned.

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

@isotopp Ich hatte mich für ein Paar Hardware Keys entschieden und würde dabei auf zwei Weisen gebissen, die du noch nicht erwähnt hast:
* Manche Services, wie z.B. GitHub, erlauben nur einen einzigen Key. Keine Redundanz möglich.
* Zu erkennen, welche Keys auf der Hardware gespeichert sind, ist nicht immer möglich. Es gibt in meinem Fall da zwar eine App vom Hersteller, aber die scheint mit diesem Modell einfach nicht zu funktionieren.

@ryan That's a weird way to learn about his passing. I used to follow his writing for quite some time. But when he started to discover Trump as a topic for his "let's check out the opposite point of view for the sake of it" blogging, things turned uninteresting way before becoming outrageous.
I never checked what he did to piss everyone off - I just didn't care anymore.
