DivestOS has my attention as a graphene user. Not to switch, unless I ever get fed up with the pixel.

Divested is behind the Mull and Mulch browsers, for what it’s worth. I never looked deeper than using Mull, but apparently Divested is one person.

It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol

Psychedelics, man.

Because they’re like, cool, man.

Maybe it’s an ear? There’s a bump in front of the face that would match for the right. It’s a really pleasing detail the more I look at it.

The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren’t the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don’t know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren’t part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It’s the statutory rape comment that I don’t like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don’t think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be “cancelled” here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn’t reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

Notch back in the day, now this dude who I had immense respect and admiration for. At least we still have Kyzrati (please no jinx). And I swear to God if Tarn or Zach ever fall from grace…

“Completely normal” takes that are on the level of “I’m not racist, but…”. That is the proof.

A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

It is a loss if someone doesn’t feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It’s a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev’s public views.

I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.

True. I’ve worked in pretty small teams with usually 2-4 devs paired, so it kind of worked out as both what we got through, what’s next priority, and how we plan to split out that day. Especially if we were light on stories.

Yeah but then I’m up and sitting there like “oh shit, what the hell did I do yesterday?”

Tbh that is what I heard and wikipedia told me otherwise lol

Edit: probably the same word for both in Thai if I’m guessing. Is it wrong if it’s cuter to refer to her as food?

And the name means “bouncy pig”

flamin hot Cheeto fermentation

No need to apologize. I have a feeling you’ll be paying for your crimes soon enough.

I literally have that one followed by this

Mad Men was hard for me to keep up with because I just hated everyone and it made me angry
