It’s too yucky to recycle

Use Obtainium

Changes to a declarative operating system, such as NixOS, are atomic. This allows for easy experimentation and rolling back to older configurations.

For example say you install gimp for editing photos. Normally you’d just install it using command line or a clickidity gui program. But say you don’t like it. Maybe it causes an issue. Then you have to uninstall it again. You are applying yet another action to the same system. That system is mutable, or modifiable, and that introduces some extra complexity.

With NixOS you can simply roll back to the previous state you had before installing it. It also doesn’t have to support stuff like uninstalling. The downside is that it likely uses a bit more resources when changing configurations.

This also applies to stuff like user management, services, e.g. a webserver.

Any experts correct me if I am wrong, I haven’t tried any of these systems yet.

Another brick in the wall

Sorry that just had to get out one way or the other 😜

Why does this feel like you’ve just given me some free heroin to try?

And unity doesn’t need integration. It automatically integrates itself into anything. It’ll just put a popup window right in the middle of the screen that you can’t get rid of without killing it. It’ll tell you something too private that you didn’t really want to know. Eventually, while coding, it will just bring itself entirely to the front. Alt tab won’t work.

I’ll be using it with c# and unity. I don’t care about debuggers, or starting the project from the IDE. I imagine there are plugins that hook it up to the c# language server?

I’m planning to learn Rust, so I might also just get started with that plus nvChad. Then I keep using Rider for my daily work.

Wow thanks shell pal

I’m using Rider and considering to switch to something like Vim. Any recommendation for me on where to start?

Is this a regular event? It’s such short notice!

Do you put effort into your commit messages before the rewrite, or just write something quick for yourself and then put in the effort later?

I’m relatively new to git and rebase looks like a mess to me? Like it appears to be making duplicate commits and destroys the proper history?

If you use rebase to get a more readable history, isn’t the issue the tool you use to view the history?

I guess I have to try it out a few times to get it.

I appreciate your reply. My UI does not allow for downvoting.

Hmm it seems to be a very political issue. I get the appeal of using technology to make social progress. But personally I feel that political issues are just that: political issues. The US has a bipolar government, and that’s an issue that needs solving. I’m not sure if crypto is the way to go there. I also trust in the inherent good of people and that they are open to reason, and that we can’t solve issues by being overly individualistic, aka hide behind public keys. That’s my perspective, that’s all.

As far as I understand it inflation is an important tool that allows for redistribution of wealth to where it is needed in hard times. For example when a bank fails.

Then you can say that banks shouldn’t borrow out more money than they have, but that would reduce growth.

Then you can say growth is bad but growth doesn’t necessarily mean consuming more resources. It’s mainly needed for the system to sustain and adapt. For example to climate change.

Which ties in back nicely to Monero, as it uses proof of work which is a senseless waste of resources if you ask me.

Overall I just wish for a cli/api that works regardless of which payment provider you personally select.

That’s cool! I just wish I could use it with my normal bank account.

I suppose so

Finally a website without popups!

It would be amazing if you could pay in the command line. Like imagine when you appreciate a foss library and can easily make a donation. Then you can build all sorts of software on top of that.

Iirc the pirate bay guys made something like that, but only in the browser, and only for very few websites. It gives the content a like button. Periodically it then distributes money over all your likes from a preset pool of cash.

It should be as easy as cash irl.
