Uh, just yesterday. Installed NixOS (with KDE) because I learned Debian at work, but am really missing the ability to track what I've installed via configuration. I like the idea of dotfiles in a repo, but want a bit more control like that for my OS.

Context: I'm a data engineer that writes Python. Python has pyproject.toml files (toml ~= ini files) where you can specify which libraries you want to use, defining which version you minimally, maximally, or just specifically want. And I wished that setup existed for Debian as well, but it doesn't. So after searching I found that NixOS is pretty much the closest thing. Windows 10 is EOL soon enough, so might as well switch beforehand and not wait until the last second.

We live longer and longer, retirement age is something that needs to be adjusted with the human lifespan.

I think it has more to do with the baby boom right after 1945. If those older people retire, there isn't enough younger generation to support them, so more people need to work longer, so we don't get too many retired people all at once.

I think it's more of a "can we support the retired" kind of issue - not just "muh money". It's a little more nuanced than that.

(Seriously what would you even have multiple computers do.)

Setup k3s (pronounces "kubes") on each computer as a node. Run scalable software - a website, database, some LDAP setup for users, maybe.

Check out /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world for inspiration :D

WHAT THE FUCK IS "POLLUTION"!?

including large volumes of unburned methane

Ooooh. Yeah, that's bad. Methane is a pretty bad greenhouse gas.

Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?

I tried it using Sora, but "This content can't be shown for now. We're still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know."

This was the prompt:

Give me a Coca Cola commercial where Jesus has been nailed to a cross, and says "I'm thirsty", after which a Roman Soldier passes him an ice cold Coca Cola.

I tried replacing "Jesus" with a man, but no dice :(

Pride is a political movement - or did they not fight for the rights of LGBT people? Flags are inherently political. Flying a flag signals allegiance and identity, which are political at their core.

This makes pride month political.

Being Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transgender isn't political in and of itself, but movements are.

I didn't know Ostriches could type!? You have to be one, since you've got your head stuck in the ground or something, because megacorps weren't the only ones being looted. I even recall a clip where a bunch of looters were trying to pull open a door to a small store.

Most important?

Morrowind.

I was already playing it, when a pack of dogs killed my two geese. One had a broken neck, the other had its guts spilling out.

I'm convinced that Morrowind helped me through my depression, and prevented me from becoming suicidal.

But I also like Drakan: Order of the Flame, Little Big Adventure 2, Dune 2, and Warcraft 1.

Nobody questions why

When she first popped up there were MANY people who questioned who the fuck she was that she could speak to the EU leadership. Why her? Because she's been an activist from a very young age, and her parents have connections (being minor celebrities).

I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.
