He’s a very untalented

Yet he was able to get his channel to 4 million subs, demonstrating that you’re lying about him.

unintelligent young man

He’s 35

who needs attention to have an income

This describes literally any science yt channel…

Just say you don’t like him, or even hate him. No need to dress it up in arguments.

Where is Nix? Oh right, he’s in space, chilling.

Haskell:

It’s been a while since writing some (2018), but the concepts you learn from Haskell are great (though I still can’t explain Monads, even if my life depended on it) and can be applied in other languages.

Anyway, I can’t speak to BEAM, but Haskell is very typeful, it teaches you currying, very great language, awful tooling (but that was ~10 years ago, so I hope things have improved since).

over many many years.

19 years. Almost 20, coming December!

I tried Thunderbird. Didn’t like it, at all. Evolution is much more my jam.

NixOS isn’t great for non-programmers, I bet, but for programmers it’s amazing.

Wait until DHH finds NixOS, where we can configure everything via single configuration. Even multiple machines.

I love Debian for what it taught me, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever use anything else.

I like Bread on Penguins - very informative now that Luke Smith has turned away from Linux and towards Communist Philosophist or whatever he now turned into.

VAIgans.

I think it was Denmark and/or a province (?) of Germany

don’t come at me, pendants.

Did you do that on purpoise? :3

I don’t need reproducibility to the extent that NixOS provides

Alright, that’s fair. As a programmer, I’ve been having a blast using it - being able to quickly setup my laptops almost the same as my desktop is such a breath of fresh air, then being able to copy over most of my config to a WSL setup to employ nix to get there 90% of the way on a Debian or Ubuntu WSL system is just so nice.

But if you don’t need its features, or aren’t a programmer, I can very much imagine you’d rather stick to a more stateful system.

at what’s gotta be greater than normal max screen brightness.

I love misplacing my finger and getting flash-banged by my phone! 😮‍💨

Don’t know if all androids have it, but if I swipe down near the bottom, it’ll pull down the top for “one-handed mode”.

I was able to trigger it multiple times until I figured out how I actually did it 😅

T9 (the old number keyboard) was the best layout: compact yet VERY usable. And with physical keyboards you could text someone blindly.

I just installed Traditional T9 to replace whatever that MS keyboard was (the swipe feature was nice, but I’m not sure it can beat T9).

If it wasn’t several PB (yes, petabytes) of data I’d want a backup.

If you’re a programmer: NixOS.

Define your OS config, which programs to install, and dotfiles in one repo. Install a fresh OS, pull in the repo (nix-shell -p git, because NixOS doesn’t come with git >_> ) and run the command to install the whole thing (sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#wodan for me. wodan is just the name of a config - I have multiple all combines into one repo, so I can share configuration between machines).

Took me 17 minutes to set up my laptop exactly the same as my Desktop. Same configuration, applications, and OS settings. It’s so fucking nice.

With Windows, that used to take 2 days to download and install everything manually.

Only downside: You’ll need to learn Nix-the-language, nix-the-os, and nix-the-terminal-program, which took about a month of deeply digging into the Vimjoyer and LibrePhoenix channels.

There are pictures. Not of the rat.

they can’t fathom going to a woman for honest advice.

Honest advice may not be good advice. I could tell a person “go kill yourself”, and be VERY honest about it. Yet it’s not good advice, now is it?

You’ve been checked kid.

OK, Boomer.
