I switched to nixos years ago. Its better now than it ever has been as far as available packages and etc. But it does present issues if you get off the beaten path - the "now you have two problems" issue. For instance:

  • if software is not packaged for nixos already, you won't be able to follow the 'build from source' directions on its github page or etc. You have to make a nix package or at least development environment first. That can be tricky and you won't have help from the software dev.
  • If software downloads exes that require libraries to be in a certain standard location, well, they won't work. Android studio for instance, downloads compilers and so forth. There are workarounds, mostly, but it can take a while to discover and get working and I'm sure many people give up. Again, the android studio software and documentation will be no help at all.

That said, more and more projects are supporting nix, and nixpkgs has gotten really big. I think they support more packages than any other distro now.

Ah yes the "Full Self Driving" brand of limited autopilot requiring constant human supervision.

Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.

Cool ragtimey tune, with train activity in the background. The 1929 original from Prince Albert Hunt’s Texas Ramblers. "Feel like a jug of molasses"

This is a crooked Metis tune, from the same tradition as the more well known Grey Owl. David Bragger & Susan Platz learned it from Jamie and they have a pretty good version too.

Until a few days ago I was posting youtube links, and the thumbnail and link description would be filled in automatically.

Now, there's no thumbnail image and instead of the youtube preview text for my linked video, its some generic youtube stuff in french:

  • YouTube www.youtube.com Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.

Something broke?

My favorite version of wolves a howling. There's a lot going on in that banjo part!

In some religions walking away from the church means being excluded from family, social, and business contacts. So cutting ties with everyone you know basically.

The consequences are 100% on him and 0% on you.

He chose to be a douche and is presuming on others to keep this under wraps so he can continue being abusive. Playing along with his secrecy game only helps the abuser. You have absolutely no obligation to keep this private, and moreover you have digital evidence in the form of a text message.

Ok, I'll go:

The Will Smith I, Robot movie took its title from the classic Issac Asimov imagining of a future of robots that coexist productively with humans due to his Three Laws of Robotics. Asimov's work is an optimistic statement on the power of science and reasoning to construct a utopian world. The Will Smith movie instead delivers a message of "Robots R Bad And Will Kill U All", completely disregarding the whole point of the source material. They could have named it something else since it had almost nothing in common with the actual book, but instead they chose to take a giant dump on Asimov's legacy.

If you require developers to update apps that still work just to keep them on the store, you're going to lose apps for no reason. Not every app needs updates to keep working.
