i just wish i could use left and right to cycle through files in a folder inside the Preview app :(

but as soon as a tried to do something a little bit more “advanced” for me (i think i tried to package an AppImage for an app that wasn’t on nixpkgs? to install it with home-manager?) i was like…. i have no idea how this works dhdjdjf

i picked up nixOS as my first attempt at using linux, both bc i was just curious, and bc the rollbacks made me less nervous about breaking everything. i do prefer writing a config file instead of doing random commands whose effects i don’t fully understand and that i’ll forget 5 minutes later

the defense contractor shebacle bummed me out when i heard about it

i’ve been trying to learn more about nix despite being a Fake Coder (aka loves reading & learning about programming but doesn’t do it in practice so has very limited understanding)

nix community seems like it has so many cool ppl but also some bummer weird stuff high up??

they could always steal it and have high chances of getting away with it anyway, but laundering the practice like this so people don’t even see it as something sneaky you have to “get away with” gives me the ick…

and isn’t there a huge difference between pirating something for your personal use vs profiting off of someone’s IP by repackaging it and selling it to others? even if you think both or bad or both are ok, it feels weird to conflate them as the same thing

oh my god. idk if it's AI generated or what but their new mascot thingie is terrifying.

isn’t it the curse of going public? having huge stable profit isn’t enough, need infinite growth to keep investors happy. grow as much as you can in the one thing you do, you have no choice but to “branch out”…
