@wariat @agturcz miałem podobnie, binary-based distros są irytujące w zupełnie inne ciekawe sposoby, ale w końcu okazało się że NixOS ma zalety Gentoo (konfigurowalność i możliwość budowania ze źródła), zalety binarnych (prostotę, zaciąganie już zbudowanych jeśli są) i dodatkowo parę swoich zalet (konfigurowanie wszystkiego w modułach nix zamiast grzebać w różnych formatach różnych konfiguracji rozrzuconych po całym /etc jest 10/10) i teraz Gentoo mnie tylko bawi :D
@lore @ned it wouldn't be so bad if it was just that; they usually also huff a bunch of copium and declare that all of humanity's shortcomings are in fact social adaptations to capitalism and were you to eliminate it we'd all happily altruistically cooperate holding hands under a smiling sun with nobody trying to take an advantage of anybody…
@thor their thin handles make them so good for that, there are stamped metal spoons with wide handles that are nearly as bad at it as knives

it's one of those cases where every single problem is easily fixable, except there's another layer underneath that prevents that easy fix from working. That layer also has an easy fix... except there's another layer underneath that

javascript testing frameworks make me think computers were a mistake

it sucks having nuanced views on the internet
"systemd has the right goals but also has poor architecture: i like operating it but i don't like its underlying design" is so much harder to digest than "systemd good" or "systemd bad"
"sandboxing is good when done in a way that gives users the ability to control how their programs run, and doesn't have to make your computer locked down like iOS" is harder to digest than "sandboxing good' or "sandboxing bad".
"verified boot that lets users control the signing key allows users to verify that the boot sequence is what they want it to be, ensuring that their FDE isn't compromised; however, most existing implementations give vendors control that should belong to users" is harder to digest than "verified boot good" or "verified boot == DRM".
it's hard not to sound like a corporate shill, which is the opposite of what I'm trying to be whenever I start talking about security. Fossbros have given the entire FLOSS community these warped preconceived notions on what sandboxing, verified boot, and even Systemd are and aren't.

@CodingItWrong if Xcode doesn't have a good extension system that can be used to add that no matter what Apple wants then yeah, no the best choice.
@Moon was this event archived somehow, or at least named? Sounds hilarious.

Our new Contact Scopes feature is now available in the Alpha channel. It provides a way to avoid granting the Contacts permission for apps requiring it. It's similar to our Storage Scopes feature replacing needing any of the media/storage permissions.

@thor that's certainly a part of it, but I'd mostly associate it with how the entire industry kept benefiting from the others' research which is a nice positive feedback loop.
@thor a year. It took a year to go from hilariously messed up images to this.

there are two kinds of problem solving in programming, one requires just starting coding to solve it and the other requires stopping coding and thinking about it harder

Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI went to Congress and suggested that AI be regulated and licensed. It's pretty blatantly trying to create legal obstacles to competing with his company.
