NixOS has some neat ideas but goes to the deep end implementing a near-perfect design of those ideas. If you need those ideas, it’s really great.

I’m fantasizing about doing a lipstick-on-pig kind of a facsimile of NixOS on top of Arch Linux.

Lemmy folks? Ok buddy.

I’m sure it’s possible, but it’s also a total dice throw with nobody responsible watching over the result. And the potential consequences of unsafety are pretty bad.

Banning alcohol and cigarettes from children seems to have worked, if not perfectly, rather fine.

finding safe spaces online

What do you mean by this? How can an online space be safe for a child?

“We use NixOS”, said all the urinals

We do. Same thing for monitor and TV sizes.

Is there anything I need to know about the political affiliations of Jolla / past products / sailfish os before I pre-order this thing?

They worked with and in Russia for a while before the big Ukraine invasion but left immediately after that. If I remember right.

They’re based in Finland, mostly, and some of the founders are ex-Nokia mobile phone people.

If they have any sort of politics, they have been classy enough to keep a sock on it.

So does this mean that a 5" is possible, or that they are going to make it? The 6" model is way too big for me.

Is the 99 € refundable? Yes. Fully.

Well ok, I think I’ll put my money in and we’ll see if they manage to make that reasonably sized model.

Then again, if you say that Linux Desktop sucks, the real Linus will probably agree with you.

The real problem is not Rust, or that somebody decided to rewrite sudo in Rust. These are both good things.

The actual real problem is that Ubuntu adopts these in their mainline distribution when the release version is 0.something. I mean sure, this will get the worst bugs noticed and fixed sooner but come on. Have a little empathy for your dumb users. They didn’t choose to be that way.

They did choose to adapt them at version <1.0.0

Could be a brave decision that will lead to these tools getting good a lot faster. Many such decisions seem a bit stupid if you only look at the short term.

This is your freedom, enjoy it.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but a year ago I thought that I’d never buy a chinese laptop due to political reasons and here we are one year later and I have a Lenovo. I think most people will eventually make their decisions based on something else than politics, or that politics are in issue only when choosing between things that are identical enough in every other way.

Given the amount of publicity they’ve received from all this, I’m inclined to be a bit conspiracy theoretic about this… Did they plan it to unfold exactly like it did? Are you all helping them?

Controversy and infamy lasts for a few months, but after that’s over, the name Framework is still etched into everyone’s minds even though they don’t anymore exactly remember why.

You know what I meant, don’t deliberately misunderstand.

That pays exactly $0 per stream to the artists.
