Kids are indeed a huge time/emotion/frustration sink that eat much of your life, and yet somehow still totally worth it.
But, I wouldn’t go so far as to say I don’t feel like I need friends. Children are very emotionally rewarding in a certain spectrum, but adult companionship is still a general need.
You don’t even need to quality it. Some people just feel the need to tear down others to make themselves feel good. It’s low self-esteem, misplaced onto whatever happens to be near them.
I think we’re all vulnerable to it, too. Part of being a good neighbor is checking yourself to see if you’re being a dick about your preferences, and just letting people enjoy what they enjoy (unless that thing is harming others; you know, common sense).
I don’t understand the complaint here. It sounds like the complaint is that there is a single source for libraries… but the solution provided is “use apt-get”.
Today, I refuse to use any language that doesn’t ship with a dependency resolver like crates or rubygems. Python taught me that I really want dependencies to be a first class citizen.
I have a black belt in a mixed martial art focused on self defense in the real world, of which one of the primary pillars is “never be on the ground”.
Wrestling is excellent for subduing a single opponent, but is not suited for dealing with multiple attackers. You can be the world’s greatest wrestler and perfectly lock your opponent out, but it doesn’t help you when his buddy comes and kicks you in the back of your head.
We assume that in any self defense encounter you will need to defend yourself against more than one person.
Unfortunately the reality of niche online communities is that the assholes tend to be over represented in them.
Good luck with your ergo journey!
FWIW: when I made the leap I went full in and got a split, columnar stagger keyboard with layers, and switched to colemak at the same time. It was a very rough couple of months relearning to type, but I learned along the way that my typing technique had been atrocious in ways I never realized. I do a much better job now of using the correct finger for each key and my hand pain from typing is basically gone.
I pay for Kagi because it does not have any form of advertising or “sponsored results”, and it consistently gives me the best results of any other browser I’ve tried.
Apple supporting this would not be hard, as with all the other search engines the search is just a query parameter appended to the url, they could just provide a template string for “unsupported” search engines.
The worst part is that this isn’t new behavior. Musk pulled this same shit at the Tesla factories; forbidding safety yellow from being used, having the warning alarms disabled on forklifts because it annoyed him, etc.
I am glad the veil has been lifted for more people though so they can see Musk for who he always has been.
I wish that they would add real controller support to NW. I started playing at launch but I really prefer the recliner gaming of consoles and the new wave of pc handhelds like the steam deck. I sit at a desk all day for work, I don’t want to game there too.
You can rig steam up to play NW with a controller kind of but it does get annoying with the trade offs.
Flakes aren’t much different from regular nix configs, except that they explicitly declare their sources by url. Rather than using whatever “home-manager” your system has on it, the flake says “go get home-manager from this location and use it”.
The extra level of control makes for more reproducible configs by isolating dependencies from the system paths. At least in theory.
Honestly the great failing of nix is that the new user experience is utterly terrible. I personally bounced off nix several times before I finally just grit my teeth and embraced the suck.
I think the best you can really do is look at the community. The nix project does have documentation but it is indecipherable, and I say this as someone who mostly likes nix and uses it daily.
https://zero-to-nix.com is a pretty good resource. I think they’re trying a bit hard to “framework” nix that maybe isn’t my preference, but the getting started guide is the best I’ve found so far.
Also, use your search engine of choice to find articles on nix, home-manager, nix-darwin (if you’re using a Mac), and find repos out there of other people’s dotfiles. Then get used to confusion and frustration for a while.
I still think that it has been worth it for me, personally… but there is real pain in the learning.
These are some of the reasons I prefer my motorcycle.
Yes, even the “interact with others” part. Motorcyclists have an unwritten code that we acknowledge each other on the road. It’s surprisingly friendly.
This is the way. If you want to make friends it’s so much easier when you start with a shared interest. Made many good friends in martial arts despite not being great at making friends, the ice breakers were all taken care of for me.
It is not intuitive to do, but on a Mac you can access the keychain app to store “secure notes”… but I don’t think you can access them from a iPhone.
I tend to just password protect a notes entry with that info, but I do think this is something Apple will need to add if they want keychain to be a real competitor to the third party solutions. I also assume Apple isn’t currently interested in competition, so … ¯(ツ)_/¯

Paddle or joystick?
