NixOS because all the other ones differ about as much as Windows 10 from Windows 11. Guix doesn’t count.

No, that’s the way. Containers are glorified chroots to work around the fact that 20th century package managers can’t manage packages for shit. NixOS needs none of that.

Holy shit, that explains how this piece of embarrassment has conned actual people into using it.

Our team created a custom notification solution and managed to implement it in an energy-efficient way, an alternative to Google’s FCM that lets us fully bypass Google’s infrastructure.

FFS, it’s a calendar. It has no business connecting anywhere.

Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.

Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

They already have a dozen, they all suck.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

Or Invisible Inc.

Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.

How does it look like in a proper 80x25?

Hope you’re joking, because this is not how any of this works.

Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.

I can’t even make it through the maze of your thoughts. Being sponsored by people who make killing utensils = bad, while being sponsored by people who literally kill = good? This is beyond logic.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.
