  • I know linux isn't for everyone, but self hosting on windows is self-inflicted punishment. It's just not the right platform. Sure it's doable, but it's death by a thousand papercuts.

  • I hadn't heard of the idea where communities could follow each other. Seems like the no brainer solution for me.

  • Check mobilism

  • But you still care enough to make this much of a fuss. So do you care or not?

  • Then what's the point of your original comment?

  • Yeah, this both highlights the issue, but also shows the scientific process works. As independent researchers were able to disprove the hypothesis the Korean team of researchers had proposed.

  • You shouldn't be using BitTorrent or uTorrent. Go with an open source alternative, I like qbittorrent, transmission is also good.

  • Yeah, but do other distros do this though? Not that I'm aware.

    And surely the same could be done to NixOS, no?

  • I see.

    I don't really get the malicious software point though. All immutable distros have a mechanism for changing, after all they need to be updated. If a malicious executable has root access, which is what you need to change symlinks on NixOS (I know services often get their own user, but unless modified, only root has access to those users), then these malicious executables could also leverage whatever mechanism for change other immutable distros have, to do malicious things, no?

    Though I do agree with you, now, that NixOS isn't immutable.

  • It's a somewhat immutable distro

    NixOS is an immutable distro. Immutability is binary, it either is, or it isn't.

  • But not the first time, which is what my grievance was about.

  • If a second user asked, it could just respond with a link to the original tldr.

  • Why not just post the tldr in the very comment you linked to it?

  • I hear decent things about Deezer, never tried it myself though.

  • I didn't have this particular dream last night, but I have ir pretty often. I'm driving an old car, and the brakes are really really bad. I'm not going very fast, 10kph max, but suddenly I need to dodge an obstacle. I try to steer out of the way, but the steering is all wonky, and doesn't respond fast enough to my inputs. The brakes don't really work, so I just end up crashing. But because I was going so slow and I crashed into a stationary object, it doesn't really matter. That's where the dream always ends. There are never any repercutions, and the crash is never serious.

    I always wonder what it means. Is my life not in my hands, but in the it doesn't really matter?

  • Not exactly surprising, lemmy users are pretty big on open source.
