Funny, I also went from packer to lazy.nvim, but then hopped off and redid my config in nix. Hadn’t actually heard about the default package manager. That seems like a good thing for the ecosystem!

Okay, you know what… That’s actually better than what I said. Defeat acknowledged.
(However, it still seems a bit silly to me.
name="value"will prompt you to enterset name "value", with your exact name/value prefilled. As far as I know, it really is just syntax substitution; or am I wrong here? Are there semantic differences that can’t be translated?)
find modules/nixvim/ -name "*.nix" -type f -exec cat {} + | wc -l 3890I’d say I’ve spent enough time configuring neovim 😄
(Btw, highly recommend configuring neovim through nixvim if you’re already using nix. Incredibly stable. I had to fix one plugin or another all the time with plain nvim. Now, literally never. Plus,
nix run github:<username>/<repo>#nvimon any nix-enabled system, and get dropped into your exact config, keybinds, theme, plugins and all. I’ve set it up to expose language-enabled variants by appending e.g..goor.pythonto that command.)(Sorry my comments tend to go off-topic)
That analogy only holds if they cook the burger for you, hold it in front of you, and go “we don’t make this”, then throwing it out
I just wish fish would accept standard bash syntax in addition.
Like, if you can warn me that “this is not how we set vars in fish, do this instead!” then you could also just, you know, do it.
It’s just a helper. It’s a way for your calendar to ask “uhhh… Should I already know of any calendars…?” and the service going “oh actually yeah, the user configured their email account, hold on, here’s the corresponding calendar”.
That’s just basic functionality. Maybe what’s tripping you up is that it’s a separate service? Because I assume you have nothing against inputting your email into a mail client and a calendar separately.
If so, then for one, it’s not really a difference if the mail app stores this into or the service does; and second, it’s a good thing to have this standardized into a single purpose built service, rather than having each app reimplement this stuff.
CPU and RAM usage is so negligible it’s laughable.
IDK.
It seems like you read something about personal data in the service description and just jumped to the conclusion that this is something nefarious.
How exactly is it bloatware though? Not a KDE user myself, just had a look at the wiki. Seems it’s just a convenience utility to allow you to not have to enter the same things into multiple applications?
This is VERY different from pre-installed apps in your start menu that collect and sell info about you…
Yeah, thinking more about it, I don’t think the term “bloatware” (as it is commonly used) applies here at all.
How do I completely disable it forever?
To answer your question:
sudo systemctl mask <servicename>.serviceThe much more common
disablejust disables autostart; masking will point the service file at/dev/null, which makes it impossible to load or start the service, even when other services or apps (like the clock widget someone mentioned in the comments) request it.

4·3 months agoNeovim, configured entirely through nixvim. I always liked neovim, but it’s never been as incredibly stable as now with nixvim.
Main/only IDE both in private and at work. Can’t ever go back, muscle memory has ensured that.
If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.
nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.
Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.
Just gonna leave this here
Yes
And even if you do live there.

3·4 months agormpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.
You mean, spend 4-6 days tearing your hair out, before landing on a solution which evaluates to literally the same output as your current version, but is 10% cleaner and more elegant?
Of course you do, after all, that satisfies that itch. Well. For a while, anyways…
Oh please. Be real. Are you sure there’s nothing in your flake to refactor or modularize? :)

No, I’m really happy with fish in general and use its syntax. The only times are things like e.g. a coworker sending me a 3-line script and then not being able to just copy, paste, enter.
