So I should connect it to someone elses network?

It’s not sending them, just collecting them. Then it sends them the moment you connect. They even transcribe speech to text via mic, according to GN they send about 4GB/month… IN TEXT FILES!

You didn’t miss anything. Haters just finally got a reason to crawl out of their dirt caves

They want to go all digital but can’t withstand cyber bullying. Weakness disgusts me!

Which means we need a new one again

That’s why I block facebook entirely with DNS based blocking.

It’s been a while since I’ve encountered a TempleOS user

I’ve noticed those few times when watching YT on my Fedora workstation 7.1.7 kernel.

Gaming no issues.

Go over everything you’ve written in your repo so far, realise it’s formatted wrong and spend 2 hours fixing it until it no longer works

Made it 8h :D and I’m still struggling with home-manager somewhat.

Well after doing some research and trying VIM and EMACS for a bit. I already know that I don’t want to use VIM over nano because the features I want neither of them has so it’s pointless to even start learning using VIM and nano is sufficient for the basic stuff but EMACS does have the features. However EMACS is just too much… It’s like I want to crop an image so I download Blender. The thing is too scary to even start with and needs so much customization just to get me started that I just don’t have the energy to attempt it at once with NixOS.

So I’ve decided to pick up Helix again after all because it also has the features I’m after and needs very little setup to start learning to use it.

I thought that I’ve already replied but apparently not… Thanks for this. I did not realize it’s this simple. Looks like I’ve found one of the many instances where I can make this work differently while it may not be optimal to do so :)

you forgot sudo

From my very short experience so far. It really depends on how deep you want to go and what your use case is. If you just want to install applications and use them then it’s not really any different than installing them via terminal on other distros. You just make a list of the app names in a config file and then rebuild and can go about your day.

If I’d wanted to use my laptop with NixOS as my Fedora desktop then I’d be done setting it up 5min after I’ve installed the system. The only time I touch terminal on my Fedora system is when I turn on PC and check for updates because it’s faster than waiting for Software to refresh.

Probably the biggest benefit other than reproducibility is that you get immutability without reliance on flatpaks.

But then you’re missing out on a lot of incredible things like a sleep deprivation for instance.

The whole point of me trying NixOS is to tinker with the configs and learning how it works and also learning some of the other skills that go with that. If I just wanted to use the laptop then there is no difference vs my Fedora desktop setup because it’s also GNOME 50 running the same applications.

I’ve already tried Helix quite a while ago. I went trough the entire bult-in tutorial and then never touched it again because I had no reason to back then. I’d have to start everything from scratch which is why I want to try something else now.

It’s working! Also good point with Codeberg, I forgot that Github is under MS.

I know enough to know that this is blue vs red situation but not enough to know why. But your comment will likely start a war in this post soon :D

I get it but for now I find this to be a bit too overly declarative for my taste. For now I’ll focus on things that actually matter for my use case but as I’ve said. I’m bookmarking this to try later in VM.

No. Who does that?
