    If only nix wasn’t such a pain to read, with all the conveniences it has like automatically looking up variables in all of the places available.

    I understand the thought, but it feels like a lot of things done to simplify writing the code makes it way harder to read, and nix’s design is decades old and it really shows

    Also, there are sometimes issues with nix on macos, but I’m inclined to blame it on Apple

















  • I think two main reasons may be: in order to pretend things are done lawfully, and because the influence of such a small library is also super small.

    The latter is more important, I think, if they don’t openly oppose war they may go on for a long time, I would guess. That is, until some overly eager citizen will not come up with a reason to snitch on them

    It is indeed a boring dystopia, no harsh contrast, muted colours of propaganda, people half believing in it but really only wishing to be left alone, small-scale intellectual rebellion doomed from the start. It seems depressing to me
