    So there are 43+ NixOS users and noone switched away for another OS?

    Woot!

    I keep pondering switching back to Debbie and every time I get in a fight with … well everything I try to install … And I look at my configuration.nix and sunk cost fallacy sits in.

    I don’t really need Splashtop, NinjaRMM, Parsec Server right?





  • I’m balanced.

    I’ll help you push you car. I’ll hold the door for anyone, I’ll let you in, in traffic. I’ll over-tip the wait staff, even the ones having a bad day. I give kids in my neighborhood freezypops when it’s hot AF. I’ll go out of my way to make sure your food allergy is covered and you’ll have safe snacks at my gathering.

    I won’t give the guy begging on the corner money. I won’t help you forever if you never reciprocate. You skip a paycheck, I won’t wait for you to get it sorted.

    I won’t remember that you hate mushrooms. I won’t remember your kids name or wife’s face. I’ll forget you birthday if it’s not in my calendar. I’ll tell you I need to focus on something for an hour and go take a nap.





  • I don’t think it’s a support issue at least that’s not the hard part. Native Linux apps are generally second rate if you’re lucky. The browsers are fantastic there’s maybe a couple of dozen solid production quality apps out there that working all or nearly all distros.

    You can get almost anything you want to be done in Linux, but there are definitely compromises you have to make.

    As long as there’s compromises are greater than the compromises you make sucking on Microsoft’s tit, Linux will still be in the shadows.









  • Oh my God my wife bought this bean bag once. It was a photography thing so it had to be absolutely packed full. So the skin came folded up in this tiny little plastic bag and then it came with three giant bags of styrofoam balls.

    If you stuck your hand in the back and pulled it out it would just be coated. I spent hours just trying to scoop them into the bean bag.

    When I got to the second bag to fill I found a long narrow box and taped it up to the side of the bean bag slice the bean bag open and used it to pour them through.

    The whole experience was awful. And the cleanup took nearly as long as the fill.
