I stopped using them altogether when my job provisioned a YubiKey. Got one for personal usage and it’s pretty solid for just about everything I’d have used a fingerprint sensor for.

Probably just spend more time contributing to foss projects. Maybe write technical documentation.

I’ve just assumed they don’t care. They’ve done scummy shit for years, and it doesn’t really matter because they’ll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won’t ultimately impact sales.

Would be really cool to see these new Snapdragon X Elite laptops shipping with Linux.

The future’s looking bright for those Russian knock-off Steam Decks.

Absolutely. You shouldn’t have to dump 30+ years of your life into your job just to get a wage that should be the baseline salary for your job.

I strongly agree with both points, but it should be noted she was making almost 75k as a teacher according to the article which is definitely on the high end for Ohio teachers

was also a cheerleading coach and yearbook adviser with a salary of $74,720 at the time she resigned.

Edit:
Reading more into the article, she’s been teaching for 30 years. 75K for that sort of experience is ridiculous

No particular order to these.

• Yacht World (2020) - Engelwood
• La Familia Pt. 3 (2021) - Always Proper
• Yasuke (2021) - Flying Lotus
• Lindo (2020) - emune

Yeah, this is something I’d expect to see on Moral Orel.

+1 for Helix. I found it recently and it feels way easier to make changes and add support for new languages.

It would be the exact same amount of effort you’d use to get new software on other distros. Both Arch and NixOS have very straightforward methods of installing new software that aren’t any more difficult than doing so on Debian or some other distro. Both Arch and NixOS support independent package managers like flatpak and snap + they support Appimages.

I’d also add that OP doesn’t even need to use NixOS to use nix packages, whereas Arch or Debian would require systems based on those distros. So if anything NixOS tries to make it very easy to add and configure software. Where does all the effort come in?

For what it’s worth, I don’t understand the nix language or all the package manager functions in their entirety. I generally use what I need and that’s it. Most information I’ve required that is nixpkgs-specific I was able to find in the manual. home-manager has one as well and it’s been the best reference for me.

If so, how does that solve the problem of clutter in $HOME ?

If it wasn’t clear from my message, the problem(s) these tools are solving for me would be 1. not having to keep track of my dotfiles and their directories, and 2. not storing configuration files directly on the disk I use for the $HOME dir. I’m not claiming these tools would solve clutter in the $HOME dir. Further, I think it should be alright for me to share tools for managing configuration files in your home directory in a discussion that directly relates to that subject.

So you create a symlink from $HOME/.program.ini to something in the nix store?

Normally it’s the other way around. When you use nix and home-manager, you’re technically generating files that will live in the nix-store and nix/home-manager will take care of symlinking those files to locations in your $HOME dir.

In this scenario though, I would use the https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-home.file option from home-manager to create a symlinks to a location that’s outside of my $HOME dir so those files don’t have to live on my home disk.

My particular use-case is that I want persistent configuration files that are shared throughout a handful of devices on my network. To this end, I use some home-manager symlinks that lead to a network folder where all these various directories and configuration files actually live. I edit those configurations in a single place and their changes propagate across the network to all the devices that would use them.

You can manage symlinks pretty easy with home-manager. I’d personally setup symlinks for these app configuration directories if I don’t want them storing files directly on the disk I use for $HOME. It’s also done in a delcarative way that can persist across multiple computers.

Nix and Home Manager have been my go-to for managing dotfiles and symlinks in my home dir

Or they can keep using the same engine with the same issues because gamers will definitely buy their next title en-masse despite the previously mentioned issues. Eg. Starfield

What an interesting year. This has to be the 4th or 5th large tech-centric company that’s

1. introduced some really shitty policy
2. pissed off it’s consumers
3. then backtracks to some degree after backlash

Just like every other company that’s done this, the backtrack is likely meant to appease the consumers before the policy gets re-introduced later. Perhaps with slightly different wording.

I wasn’t implying they get paid better. The comparison to views vs plays was done to address the “It’s not a song” comment. How did you get that implication from my message?
