Windows is dropping support for dual boot?

nix shell -p works without flakes enabled

It's so hard to eat this soup with this fork you gave me why the hell did you put so many holes in it?!

It took me so long to get this mentality down

I still take enjoyment from writing code well but I no longer give a shit what happens to it once it's done

Prob half my projects were just my manager deciding we needed something on a whim and then never using it

Both of those things are effectively exactly the same though

Exactly.

It's to speed up boilerplate and save you having to look up function names or language specific syntax for that one feature you want to use, not to entirely do your job for you

Certifying isn't too bad, I've done it 7 of 8 times now probably because I keep nuking my machines

Why do you need a compatibility layer? It runs x86 lineageos doesn't it?

Waydroid is better than bluestacks imo

I've found it behaves like a stubborn toddler

If you tell it not to do something it will do it more, you need to give it positive instructions not negative

I use it for writing functions and snippets all the time, at least in python and rust as long as you describe what you want it to do properly it works great

Example I used recently: "Please generate me a rust function that will take a u32 user id and return a unique RGB colour"

Generated the function, I plugged it in and it worked perfectly first time

Absolutely, I think the people who say it's completely useless for code are in denial

Definitely not replacing anyone but my god it has sped up development by generating code I already know how to write 90% of

No more having to look up "what was the for loop syntax in this language again?"

I believe just passing through external images is the way to go, it's always the one I opt for if I can

Hosting those images is gonna get expensive and that kinda sucks for a donation run platform when that money could be far better spent elsewhere

I think also using external image sources is more in line with the idea of decentralisation, Lemmy isn't an image host it's a link aggregator and forum - I believe most image hosting sites will be far better at loading images quickly than Lemmy's implementation could ever be

I believe that is the desired effect

Caveman gpt: No. Idiot programmer do this instead: (code)

I'd try installing just regular nix (package manager, not operating system) rather than home manager, that's what I do on by Debian pi

There's an install script on their website that does it all for you

At which point the safer bet is to get them a Chromebook which is supported by Google and not by you

No point imo, the people who benefit significantly from using Linux are the people who understand what it is

I try to get my techy friends on Linux and much of my family are techies anyway but I wouldn't try to put someone who won't be able to fix it themselves on it because then they're stuck if I'm not around to fix it

Does home manager work standalone without having nix first? I've never installed it on non-nixos

Nix shell is absolutely for running packages without installing them it literally tells you to do that in the terminal hint

Nix run iirc only works with flakes

They've definitely been a big problem in the past

As of 550 they seem to have worked out the glaring issues at least in my experience

Nah proprietary, unfortunately last I checked nouveau still kinda sucks performance wise
