Couple of folks? There are like a dozen workers bunking in Beijing apartments because it's just not affordable

Big cities like Beijing or Shanghai in China are much worse, lower wages and rents north of $1000 and salaries of about $1350

Workers cram into one apartment just to have a place to sleep

In 2021, 1.4% of workers in the United States were paid hourly rates at or below the official minimum wage. The percentage of hourly paid workers earning the prevailing federal minimum wage or less declined from 1.9% in 2019 to 1.5% in 2020, which remains well below the percentage of 13.4 recorded in 1979. Around 44.3 percent of wage and salary workers paid hourly rates at or below the federal minimum wage were aged between 16 to 24 years.

Chinese only get one salary and still expected to work that much

So you're saying they are getting paid for overtime

Yes, you get the same version of deps and the actual software too. For example, wine breaks my game from time to time, but if I got clone my setup I will get the exact version of wine that I use that works, not the latest unstable version

China: working from 9 to 9 six days a week, with lower wages

When? Give me examples

No, it's also for your system to use locked versions of deps, so if you git clone you get a flakes.lock as well with all the versions. When you install from a git repo you get the same system again

Is it, though?

Nonunique means other package managers have it, so it excludes those you said that inflate the user count

You can combine stable and unstable packages since they can have different dependencies

Given this you can have the base system be running the unstable versions, while holding back things like wine from upgrading

That is not true, since not annoying your users can mean a long time profitability

Why? If it's installing singing in the background it's not stopping me from doing my work

I dispute the needlessly part. NixOS unstable has very new packages, do you're getting some fresh updates before some other packaging systems.

Is it less "efficient" than waiting for major versions? Of course. But I'm willing to run an update in the background on my desktop to get that new software.

For me, you can't separate those two things. I want an online identity. I don't want to switch servers because of whatever reason and have to import bookmarks. I want my app to keep track of my subscriptions and just give me my replies/messages. I don't want to care whether I'm on lemmy.ml or whatever

I think the verdict is NixOS is perfect for desktops, since you probably don't care about data or compiling everything or slight inefficiencies

It's just stolen from Telegram anyway

I mean, I could write a server that redirects the notifications pushed to me and read the actual posts on the instances themselves

Yes, I now understand I need to have a server listening for the notifications being pushed to me

I'm a web developer, so...
