  • I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

    You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

    Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

    It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

    You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

    Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It’s just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

    On top of that it’s the first time I really “got” anime, so it’s sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

    Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you’re the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol



  • I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

    I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.



  • To be fair, it’s software specifically designed to run digital backups of what’s supposed to be personally owned media. It just so happens that it’s very easy to obtain a copy otherwise, but there’s nothing inherently illegal about it or the games.

    Strong arming independent projects, and individual developers especially, that are very careful to not endorse that, effectively holding them accountable for others, is morally questionable at best.


  • Real talk, I thought he had died, but maybe I just assumed or expected given hospice and the passing of his wife. For some reason I thought her name was Linda Carter, but Lynda Carter was wonder woman, if that says anything of my intelligence…

    In any case, I hear triple digits is a big one, and may he not rest in peanuts just yet.
