    The “front page” of most instances are not interesting to average people or to professionals (e.g. local gov that wants to go open source, like those switching to Mastodon).

    Part is lemmy’s hot-sort is basically broken as a ranking, another part is bad language filters, another part is that major communities here (fediverse, Linux memes, star trek memes, science memes, etc) are off-putting to out-of-group people because of so many in-group jokes. Its a hard fix.

    Yeah, university is almost certainly going to expect you to be able to install Unreal or Unity, which just isn’t possible AFAIK on NixOS. NixOS is very all or nothing. You can’t just remove the restrictions for one project and hack something together to hit an assignment deadline. Theres still lots of pain points with LD_PATH and 3rd party binaries.

    That said, you can use nixpkgs on non-nixos and still get reliability for Godot and other open source tools. For your case, I highly recommend dual booting, and then using nixpkgs without going full blown nixOS.


  • I feel like they missed the most important point in their abstract and top of their conclusion; why is urban agricultural producing more carbon. The TLDR conclusion is “urban garden = bad”. But if done correctly, theres no way a rainwater compost local vegetable using handmade wooden tools burns more carbon than air-freight across the Atlantic.

    Its not till much later that they say “If our UA sites sourced all their materials from urban waste, all three forms of UA would be carbon-competitive with conventional agriculture”
