also they flatly seem to either ignore or misunderstand that facebook is a shithole despite (or even because of) having the name and face attached.

@npub1ysu…2jyl wait so what does `/usr` point to, `/` ?

it seems bitingly similar to the thing Niklas Wirth was on about for tech history and constantly re"new"ed ideas borne from ignorance, computers seems to be the most brazen example, and is not terribly surprising its a wider trend.

@npub1sg4…xslc NixOS is probably the worst cases of functional fervour i am aware of. Some of the OK ideas like "the package manager has a full picture of all software on the system" makes sense in a vacuum. But NixOS does it in a way that breaks too many assumptions and in such a way that makes using it, makes you suffer from dogmatism.
consfigurator for Debian is probably saner overall while keeping the "declarative OS" lark

was the portability in some cffi library or is shepherd mainly C calling into guile? mainly curious because i'm tempted to use it outside of guix

@npub1ysu…2jyl and in fairness the only non-homogeneity would be simple switch cases like musl/gnu and the complexity would be in versioning which is nearly the onus of the installer more than some sort of build tool

@npub1ysu…2jyl wonder if the only reason they haven't cached autotools shit for a given system is because of either legacy or they don't care about wasting money on build farms

@npub17es…clcm its even funnier considering the aesthetes willing to use wayland sell linux on customizability.
byeah uh, still don't know if its possible to run desktopless XFCE w/awesome sort of lark with winNT; but im less convinced its possible with Wayland

only reason i mentioned libinput was because i remember hearing that sm1 got burnt out porting it to netBSD as it meant having to rewrite chunks of code to be less linux-keycode centric.
While I forgot/ellided the weston car thing: the lack of the extendable server+tight integration w/dbus|ibm/rh tech, is closer to macos/winnt desktops in my mind because of the vertical integration and lack of ability to rip out WM/Compositor as they merge into 1 binary

@npub17es…clcm ontop of that there's still the libinput harddep on multiple base libraries; and there's 4 different xdg-$DE-portals, 1 of which is for the independent implementations... that rely on wlroots. beyond attrition of moving over i want to love wayland but it seems as if its just overly trying to modernize (read copy macOS/msWin) -- at the expense of having 1 graphical program work on linuxen, {n,o,f}BSD

@npub17es…clcm what's so uniquely fucked to me is that while Wayland weenies accurately assess X as being akin to a pile of hacks; within the next half-decade we will see this sort of design-sin recommitted and IDT these people will be as annoyed until/if or when they realise

@npub10jk…dpae JeffBezos and ElonMusk seem more like rubes compared to Thiel and Altman, like Altman is doing mad datacrunching of the entire commons and Thiel literally has a MIC corporation named Palantir of all things. Amazon is an entire machine of human suffering all the way down but Altman uniquely seems worse than Bezos, unless Bezos was on the flight logs

@npub1ysu…2jyl is it also more secure than X's network transparency beyond that compression (since it is quite literally idiotic over WIFI (discovered the hard way))

I'm going off what i presume was someone complaining of not beinf able to just plonk a dotnet project in another machine and running it. Provided it was me eavesdropping

I think newer windows machines now use codesigning which will flat out prevent the program being run on those machines. IDK if its a security setting or a default, because i dont use widnows

@npub15c7…suze @npub16fs…5f7z How bad does the brew thing get as I was looking at the linux port in order to see if it can build a recent version of emacs, and also found something like `class Formula ... class < self ... end end` after i tried to figure out how it worked.
