NixOS has two main selling points:

1. I can declaratively manage my system. That’d probably the Thing you know about it.
2. but it also uses the Nix Package manager which allows you to install multiple versions of the same program. On Ubuntu, if I update bash from v4.6 to 5.0, it will replace /bin/bash and if any breaking changes were made, any program that has bash 4.6 as dependency won’t work anymore. On NixOS binaries are stored in /nix/store with a hash. So bash 4.6 is in /nix/store/hwnfuvshajdbgjajebskhak-bash-4.6 and 5.0 gets installed into /nix/store/638jsvusbhsuksvj76hwlsbj-bash-5.0 This allows us to have programs that depend on a old version of a software installed simultaneously with programs that depend on a new version of it.

Never managed to brick my NixOS System

I guess one-handed phones are really dead now

The only thing iOS really does better imo is the quick settings menu

Holy shit it sucks on Android compared to iOS

It looks better, it has more options, it has better overview and grouping

Nuanced and well-thought-through thoughts instead of Populism? On Lemmy?

Seriously, It made me really happy to see that there are still people that actually inform themselves, sit down and think through stuff.

A rarity sadly.

We are so gonna see a pickachuface moment, aren’t we?

I am so sorry for you all over there.

But hey, at least you will have the privilege of Schadenfreude! Gotta stay positive, am i rite?

That is illogical to claim that NATO is keeping Russia at bay, then claiming that they are a threat

If i am using a spear to keep a Wolf at bay, is that Wolf not a threat anymore?

If someone wants to rob me and i point a gun at them go keep them at bay, are they not a threat anymore?

I rest my case, your honour.

why is russia fascist?

idk, wanting to conquer your neighbours and ethnically cleanse them isn’t good enough for you? Not having any elections, political voilence and assasinations, no deviation from party-line, force-conscripting young men, absolutely no regard for human live (ukrainian or russian), dreams of a greater russian Reich

You want me to go on?

Which Countries Meet NATO’s 2% Spending Target?

It’s on their own Website. Open the PDF. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_197050.htm

We are not talking about “most” Nato countries. We are talking about the ex-soviet countries.

You didn’t believe that ex-soviet countries were afraid of russia because Nato countries didn’t spend a lot of money on Military. But when you look at the individual countries, not at nato as a whole, those ex-soviet countries that joined Nato meet the 2% minimum (and like i said Poland even doubles it with 3.98%)

Another thing to consider is the capabilities of Russia

Russia has invaded Ukraine and bombed it to Rubbles. Russia is very much capable of attacking and destroying its Neighbours. Just take a Plane to Ukraine if you don’t belive it.

and it is illogical that Russia would attack a NATO country

Good. That means NATO is working in keeping the Russians away.

And btw, 2 years ago i personally would have declared you crazy if you told me that Russia was going to attack Ukraine. The Facts have been laid open to us. We can adapt and change to live in the new reality or live in denial.

Ukraine is a security concern for Russia, not for the United States, or the rest of Europe

Ukraine is a independent Country that is allowed to decide for itself what it wants

And yes it is a security concern for Europe since it’s right in its backyard, right on its Border. And it is even a security concern since it’s a huge producer of Food, and if that food doesn’t get to Africa etc, those regions could become unstable and global terrorist attacks could rise again.

Now, does that allow the EU or the US to dictate Ukraine what it should do? NO! because Ukraine is a independent Country that is allowed to carve its own way! The same way that Russia isn’t allowed to interfer in Ukraine because of its supposed “security interests”

Do you support the Blockade on Cuba?

since it wants to control the world and export its culture

Russia literally is invading its Neighbours because it can’t control them. Russia is the one that spend decades forcefully “russoficating” eastern Europe.

Fascist believe in autarky and see every single nation or country as a threat

Go onto russian State TV. Quote from Russian State TV: “We have no friends in the World, only Enemies” The US constantly talks about how important it is to work with their Allies. Who is the Fascist now?

The US has toppled far more governments than the Russians did in their entire history

excuse me what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_involvement_in_regime_change lets not forget all the eastern block. Well, technically you’re correct, they didn’t topple the baltics, ukraine, eastern Poland, they flat out annexed it. But I’m pretty sure that’s actually worse

When you are forcing other countries to become liberal, that is fascism.

What? i think you don’t know what fascism means, is that possible? I think you also don’t know what “liberal” means? I think you also don’t know how countries become liberal?

meant to insult and destroy

the irony of writing that on a post whose only purpose is to mock and insult devs who do free work for the community

banned minimum

and maximum what? beaten up?

incendiary petty troll

so not wanting to slave away for free for people that feel entitled to my work makes me an incendiary troll? then I’ll proudly wear that name as a badge.

that is unironically amazing and the Foss Community needs people like you. And if i ever use one of your Projects, I’ll be sure to donate to you.

But: That’s you and not me. I don’t have the Time or Energy to maintain Projects for other people. My Projects are usually for my exact Usecase and that only. I don’t have the Energy or will dealing with people saying “doesn’t work for me” or “please update” or “please add [Feature that i don’t need]”

I make no demands and i give Donations. How is that entitled?

People who do work for themselves and share it with other people don’t do work for other people, big shocker.

Like, seriously, if your Neighbor makes a cake and shares it with you, do you also ask them “that’s nice but can you next time make [cake i like]?”? no! you say thank you and you’re grateful someone is sharing their hard work with you!

i will bookmark this Comment in case anyone ever tries to argue with me that the Linux and FOSS community isn’t that toxic

Or i can just do what i am doing now and keep the Repos as private and only use them for myself, family and friends

okay, so let me recap:

1. you make false assumptions about me
2. i correct those false assumptions
3. you tell me it’s not your fault you made those wrong assumptions but actually mine

that’s some prime gaslighting my dude

since you apparently aren’t arguing in good faith, i will not further entertain to you.

a goodbye-word for you: you can’t act like you know something about me (that i’m anti-foss) and then when you’re called out on your BS take the Position “how am i supposed to know anything about you?!”

You are not entitled to my work. If you want access to them, stop being an insufferable entitled brat. It’s exactly this behavior why I won’t open-source them. Are you too dense to see how toxic parts of this community are?

At least I donate to Foss-projects.

Can you say that about yourself?

Or I can just save myself the effort.

It’s BTW funny how no one here criticizes the behavior I mentioned but instead attacks my conclusion I draw from that behavior. Which only further solidifies my decision.

Where did I say that I’m anti-Foss? Please show me the exact location.

Please explain to me how I’m anti-Foss when I’m practically only using Foss projects and donating to them.
