  • 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.

    Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
  • 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

    Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
  • 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 anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
  • 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

    I switched from Nixos to void Linux. Here's my experience so far.
  • 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.

    What non-technical criticisms do you have of the Lemmy/kbin/link aggregator fediverse experience?
  • 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

  • My idea is this: I just want to send to a server like this a request from my domain name and username, but I don't want to run a full instance. Is this technically possible?
