just use a community-lead or non-profit foundation lead distro: NixOS (better than silverblue/kinoite in all aspects they try to sell), Arch, or Debian.

For professional usage, you generally go Ubuntu, or some RHEL derivative.

Totally supportive. Great to have a wayland Rust implementation (and Rust increasing adoption by FOSS community); more specifically, smithay, which further than System76 is building upon, like projects by the community this WM for example https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM

A cosmic hydrogen fog??? That sounds like an atmosphere, something that a space-dwelling creature from a sci-fi novel could develop in

not gonna lie, i lol

Well; darwin users, just as linux users, should also work on making packages available to their platforms as Nix is still in its adoption phase. There are many already. IIRC I, who never use MacOS, made some effort into making 1 or 2 packages (likely more) to build on darwin.

as Reddit now going to IPO. That happened to Twitter->Mastodon, can happen to Reddit->Lemmy as well.

We had seen it coming haha

Yeah, that’s odd. But guess most projects are using the master branch anyway, e.g. https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM/blob/0ec02c92d63dd43d45fa3534f565fa587db506af/Cargo.toml#L20-L21

I can keep Firefox bleeding edge without having to worry that the package manager is also going to update the base system, giving me a broken next boot if I run rolling releases.

On Nix[OS], one can use multiple base Nixpkgs versions for specific packages one wants. What I have is e.g. 2 flakes nixpkgs, and nixpkgs-update. The first includes most packages including base system that I do not want to update regularly, while the last is for packages that I want to update more regularly like Web browser (security reasons, etc).

e.g.

• https://codeberg.org/yuuyin/yuunix/src/branch/main/flake.nix#L52-L77
• packages with pkgs (nixpkgs flake) https://codeberg.org/yuuyin/yuunix/src/branch/main/profile/packages.nix#L12-L26
• firefox with pkgs-update (nixpkgs-update flake) https://codeberg.org/yuuyin/yuunix/src/branch/main/profile/app/firefox.nix#L14-L16

When I was packaging Flatpaks, the greatest downside is

No built in package manager

There is a repo with shared dependencies, but it is very few. So needs to package all the dependencies… So, I personally am not interested in packaging for flatpak other than in very rare occasions… Nix and Guix are definitely better solutions (except the isolation aspect, which is not a feature, you need to do it manually), and one can use at many distros; Nix even on MacOS!

Not OP, but I originally xmonad because Haskell. I’m still on it because it is the only WM with a “contexts” feature/extension https://github.com/procrat/xmonad-contexts

sway devs discarded its feature request https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4044

and I personally am more interest now on compositors/WMs that implement Smithay (Rust) instead of wlroots (in C). Specifically https://github.com/MagmaWM/MagmaWM, which I suppose will be easier to extend.

Some of them will detect if using virtualization. For example http://safeexambrowser.org/ by ETH Zurich

Ironically enough, it is free software https://github.com/SafeExamBrowser

Using as backend for a very important Web app (with possible IoT applications in the very future also) for me which I already conceptualized, have some prototypes, etc—this is what motivates me. I feel, for this project in specific, I shall first learn the offficial Book (which I am) and have a play with the recommended libraries and the take of Rust on Nails. I also have many other interesting projects in mind, and want to contribute to e.g. Lemmy (I have many Rust projects git cloned, including it).

their work essentially go in the trash

They learned a lot in the process probably, that is the most important for them after all. But relying on API is risky, so always go HTML scrapping. The frontends are super useful for finding information already there without accessing the actual website. Always use Lemmy here for everything else.

2 things that help me very much: perject for GNU Emacs, and Contexts + usual workspaces for Xmonad.

can’t believe it got to this point. heads on rust foundation seem more self-interested than community-oriented.

KDE Connect has been very unreliable to me. I’m using magic wormhole now.

This dormant black hole is about 10 times more massive than the sun and is located about 1,600 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, making it three times closer to Earth than the previous record holder.

Artificial constellations that pollute the night sky… I remember there was a popular paper on the negative effects of this.

Oh I misread; thought it enabled following fediverse users from within lemmy, but now i see it is actually the other way around. Thank you for clarifying!

Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.

does an admin needs to enable the follow button? it is not appearing for me.
