I’d trust a chinese vehicle over a Tesla any day.

Well, it's now an issue with Rust since Cargo makes it a pain in the ass to do. It's one of the big things that makes me very reluctant to write any sort of system tools in Rust despite being a big fan of the language itself.

And when you try to cancel it you'll see it was actually $59.99/month with a minimum runtime of 12 months.

Set to stretch for the extra crusty look (and because it was cut off otherwise).

Yeah. Flakes are essentially three things (or four if you count the new CLI):

1. Lock files for inputs (like NPM)
2. A defined output layout (so, every flake has its packages at packages. for example)
3. Pure mode (don't worry about it unless you read from arbitrary locations in the file system or try to download files without a hash)

That's it, essentially nothing else changes. It's just a different entry point to Nix code including NixOS configurations.

Here's a great article (apparently, I have only skimmed it myself) explaining flakes more in detail: https://jade.fyi/blog/flakes-arent-real/

From the readme, it uses its own index:

Fully independent search index.

Also here's a related discussion: https://github.com/StractOrg/stract/discussions/136

I wonder what'll come first, this or RCS on iOS?

group chats will come years down the line

Oh come on. (Though that's fair enough, since coordinating groups including users from different services is likely a lot harder to get right.)

So on one hand, it’s a good thing that Apple is getting RCS this year, but it’ll likely remain either the at the basic Universal Profile level, or some proprietary Apple stuff thrown in, both of which aren’t really ideal.

No, I would say the first is the best option. It would create incentive for actually improving the Universal Profile. The "bad ending" would be Apple adopting Google's proprietary extensions.

Safari is great. Quick Look, syncing tab groups, good touchpad navigation, non janky UI and probably more are my reasons for using it. I just wish it was possible to have shared bookmarks with Firefox which I use on Linux (or have an actual Linux port of it even but that's even less going to happen)

My boldest claim is that Flatpak is going to kill off the necessity for RPMs, Debs, APKs, etc. for most end-users.

No it isn't, until you can build a Linux system on top of only Flatpak. And guess what you have then? Yet another distro using a different packaging system with its own opinions, just like the rest of them. And there will still be other packaging systems because not everyone will agree with how it does things. Especially once developers start including questionable code in their Flatpak packages, because nobody is there to stop them, which distro maintainers are going to strip out in distro packages because it's harmful to users.

There’s no issue sharing boot partitions unless you use Grub. (Please stop using Grub)
