NUR (Nix User Repository)

Ukrainian here, but should apply to other eastern european countriea. It's all Christian but all sideways sorta. Christmas is after New Years for most people (well "most" is like half), but people don't care as much since new years exists and is when presents are given. Advent calendars are usually, in fact, 30 day. Made in China of course.

This post is the second ever reference to advent candles I can recall having in my entire life. The first one was a YouTube short I saw portraying German stereotypes.

Oh, nothing wrong with Fedora specifically. I also recommend Fedora KDE to people like this.

But, imagine you saw someone use a project somewhere online you want to try and it's not popular enough to be in the repos. Now you have to git clone --depth 1 --recursive blah blah blah, source ~/cflags.sh, mkdir build, cd build, cmake .., make -j4...

Doesn't sound difficult. But over time, your home directory becomes FULL of random ass git repositories. AND your /usr/local/bin is full of outdated stuff, sometimes overwriting updated stuff in /usr/bin. Having the AUR reduces that significantly.

I feel like the only "good" distributions nowadays are Arch and NixOS (everywhere else, you become a construction worker every time you want a slightly niche program), while both having shitty stereotypes about users. And Arch currently only properly works on amd64. And NixOS's model isn't for everyone...

EDIT: never fucking mind I didn't read the fucking post title, I only read the community and body text There are MORE ADS LIKE THIS? crazy ass shit

here's the original body text of my comment:

No, people assumed it is Coca Cola because it says Coca Cola all over it. Here's the report.

Fluency is driven by the % of people recognising the brand by the end of ad.

Here's my proposed ad script:

Look at this LoveIs® chewing gum. I am chewing this LoveIs® chewing gum. Gotta love this LoveIs® chewing gum. I LOVE LoveIs® CHEWING GUM.

What do you think the ad's about after the whole thing?

EDIT: see reply

Also, their ad rating business partner said 98% of people recognize this as a Coca Cola ad. By the end. So 2% of people didn't even get it.

I was also bored one day and made this image in response to someone sending the same thing but about Lidl

Ukrainian here, smaller town. Most stuff is purchased on a street market a.k.a. bazaar. But there are also two competing grocery chains, Tavria V and ATB. It's like RED and BLU. Left twix / right twix situation. They are everywhere. Anything that isn't no-name (and is food) is probably cheaper there than at a bazaar. Though I once saw them sell tiny ass stollen loafs for 12 whole bucks because "it's a slightly niche foreign recipe so it must be expensive" (and same with pretty much everything else in there). Might not sound like a lot but this is a week worth of (other) food, idk how much stollen costs for neighboring countries but went on amazon.de and scrolled for a little bit to find a similar thing for 2 euro.

Bigger cities have one or two really large (3+ story) buildings, which are renting spaces for the two competiting grocery chains, arcade halls, casinos, pizza/burger stuff and small stores selling random foods by weight. When one enters, all sense of time is lost.

Plot twist: it's using 2 gigs worth of frameworks and won't even begin rendering the page before login.

Most apps print stuff in the same loop as everything else, so stuff like alacritty might help it a little bit. It's not really that significant most of the time, however.

A little bit more about the sponsor on HackerNews.

If you are a lazy bastard not wanting to click this, basically there a quite a few issues with the main goal of Hack Club (not the fiscal sponsorship sidequest), such as not using a privacy policy for kids for 11 years, many leaks of said data and misclassifying workers in at least 2024.
