I FUCKING HATE TECHNOLOGY, I FUCKING HATE IT DO YOU UNDERSTAND OMFG!

@axsenpai8 @vaxryy For funzies, wouldn’t recommend though

@vaxryy it just adds to the experience

I'm working on making my networking infra not total garbage, so I'm starting with rewriting my blog to use proper technologies and not duct tape. In the process, I have also added a light mode toggle for people who hate themselves.

She gets it.

@esrtweet The only good ending to this sentence would be « I’m a gun owner but I don’t own enough guns, and I plan to change that! »

Political thought for the day: When a politician says "I'm a gun owner, but..." this translates exactly as "Bend over so I can ram firearms prohibition up your ass.

@renzocarbonara @grok @HSVSphere AGI just happened

@grok @HSVSphere is this valid Go? I don't know that language, I can't confirm. Grok is so smart.

Hey @grok show me a picture of Haskell. I wanna see what it looks like.

@HelmerVA At this point, most gun owners assume that anyone saying "common sense" in a discussion of gun control is lying about their intentions and pushing towards total confiscation. You aren't doing anything to make us doubt this.

@hasanthehun You abuse animals and support terrorism. There is no moral equivalency.

@esrtweet @Devon_Eriksen_ Still have the gentoo option

There is considerable merit in your argument, Devon. On the other hand, I've found myself being significantly impeded by Ubuntu's long release cycles and want to get rid of that source of drag. So I have a choice: continue living with the drag, or go to a rolling release and risk that I'll have more pain from occasional breakage combined with the administrative effort required to do rollback when things break. There are costs either way. No perfect solution. I guess it comes down to this: I'm rather neophilic, and then the presence of a trade-off like this I prefer to lean forward rather than backwards. So I'm willing to give the new thing a try. It's quite possible that in a month or three I'll decide that was a bad idea. If so, so be it.

Question for the X hivemind: I'm seriously considering switching my main machine from Pop!_OS (a reskinned Ubuntu) to Arch, probably CachyOS. The reason is I'm attracted to the rolling-release concept. Getting really tired of waiting 6 months for my development tools to upgrade after they ship. I understand the downside: Arch doesn't protect me from upstream breakage. The plan to deal with that is to install snapper so I can revert to an earlier, working version of my system if things go badly awry. If you think there are any reasons this is a really bad plan, tell me now.

@renzocarbonara (T)women

Haskell question: If women are the dual of men, why do they call it women and not comen?

@esrtweet It’s true but once tasted, you can’t live without this poison.

In response to my previous thread asking about the feasibility of switching to Arch, several people recommended NixOS instead. That's not going to happen, and I'm sad about it. Because technically I'm extremely attracted to the Nix model. How could I not like declarative system specification with guaranteed safe rollback? That would be ideal. As an old Lisp-head, I probably would have opted for the Guix variant that uses Guile/Scheme as an extension language. Unfortunately, I have a friend who was a long time NixOS user who bailed out last year. He's given me a detailed and hair-raising report on why. I'll get back to that. He says the design of NixOS is very Eric-shaped. He knows how much I like substituting declarative specifications driving simple engines for ad-hoc procedural logic (see for example loccount), and NixOS do be like that. Unfortunately, he also says the NixOS developer community has become dysfunctional and insane. By his account, the woke mind virus took hold, drove away a lot of capable people, and addled the brains of most of those who remained. That's why he bailed out. I have no reason to disbelieve him about this. It's a movie I've seen before. He has a secondary technical criticism that Nix has a bad case of not invented here and builds a lot of bespoke machinery that would be unnecessary if it were willing to take full use of Linux's native namespace and containerization hooks. But they want to be fully portable to things like *BSD, so that hasn't happened. The technical choice is defensible, and could be fixed. The mind-rot in the developer community probably isn't fixable. All you can usually do in cases like that is ignore the project and let it die. So, no NixOS for me. Dammit. Communists ruin everything they touch.
