It’s there to solve your “This is boring” issue without having to do all of the system configuration stuff manually*.

I was able to package a nightly AppImage as if it were installed normally like an app, and I could reinstall the system if I wanted to, and it’d still be there. NixOS is the opposite of manual dependency resolution, it’s dependency heaven. You can have unstable and stable repositories side-by-side, living in a utopic egalitarian society. You can write a configuration file that does everything. You can do anything with NixOS. NixOS is the one true god, all hail NixOS—

Ah, I see why you may not want to use it. Consider it though, it’s genuinely good and trying doesn’t hurt.

I haven’t even told you about nix-comma or nix helper (nh) yet. May the, uh, flake be with you.

*You do have to write the config files, though you can just adapt someone else’s configuration.

personally i don’t carry coins around in my hand

• Make the city government responsible for sidewalks instead of the property owner. As of now, the sidewalks are all uneven and often sloped, horrible for accessibility. With enough money they’d be convinced to do that. I’m not sure if this is the case because of state or federal laws or if it’s a city thing, I live in Brazil.

• Help people in need of housing and financial stability. People should be able to pay their own bills instead of stealing water and electricity from who-knows-where.

• Make the local electricity and water infrastructure public. Basic services shouldn’t be for-profit. Maybe even end these bills entirely and make these services included in tax, it could work out.

• Move people out of areas prone to disasters, like landslides. People need good, safe housing.

• Make nice tiled streets that aren’t full of holes. I think tiled streets are better than asphalt, except in highways.

• Fund a better draining system because streets here get flooded when it rains a lot. Tiled roads would help also, I think.

• Make the transit of more touristy areas mostly separated from resident areas.

• Separated bike paths. Bikes should avoid contact with car routes when possible.

• Free buses for everyone.

• Help new businesses in areas which didn’t have businesses before.

• Spend a lot, and I mean a lot on funding education and school lunches.

• Investigate corrupt politicians, at least on the local level since that’s the premise of the question.

Any controversial changes, or changes that would take a lot of construction (like fixing the sidewalks and housing) would come with campaigns and be spread out over time for gradual change. Free buses on the other hand could come instantly because I’d have millions or billions of dollars in this scenario.

We are translucent to X-rays, but we’re also translucent to visible light up to a certain depth, and I can make my fingers glow red with my phone’s flashlight! That’s so weird.

Also, just look at how far away you can see things (if you can see, if you don’t know what it’s like imagine like hearing but wit, uh, a wider range?).

How the hell do you know that the sun or the moon or the stars are there?! They’re so far but you can still detect them with your eyes (though ideally you wouldn’t stare at the sun, but y’know what I mean)

Also it’s crazy that the universe is like 13 billion years old according to science, but for me the universe started when I was born (and for everyone else but relative to their date of birth), or even when I started remembering things, so I have to deduce that things happened before I “started experiencing” by looking at their indirect effects, as I wasn’t there to live through those things because I didn’t exist yet.

There will be people who don’t exist yet. Wow.

I want a retro 4:3 mirror for the aesthetic

my website is very basic (just a simple static website with text and sometimes images) - but at least i have a handmade 88x31 button :3

Purple like Debian?

Side topic: I think Pascal’s Wager is stupid because what if there is a god and it only sends believers to hell? What if there is a good and it sends everyone to hell no matter what? What if there is a god and it didn’t make an afterlife and won’t interfere in actual life, so why even bother? What if there’s a flying spaghetti monster out there and that’s what god is?

ok I can’t be bothered to write like that again but yeah it’s slop parody

Absolutely not — it’s a computer program, a piece of software, pretending to be human. I’ve always been against that, especially now that it’s less obvious if it’s a real person talking 🙆, or just a computer program someone prompted 🤖

I value honesty, and, sincerely, I hate that the web is filled to the brim with AI ‘slop’. As a human being who values creativity, I don’t want to see that. Fundamentally it is made to mimic human output — it’s not just annoying, it’s disingenuous.

Have you seen the better browsing experience? It’s on Zen. It’s literally on Librewolf. It’s on Floorp without ads. It’s literally on Waterfox. You can probably find it on Ironfox. Dude it’s on Ladybird. It’s a Servo original. It’s on GNOME Web. You can browse on GNOME Web. You can go to GNOME Web and browse it. Epiphany has it for you. </joke>

i use foot terminal btw

Somewhat agree yeah
