it really is fantastic out of the box. When I switched to NixOS I had decided to stay on zsh/ohmyzsh and it was an absolute slog. it was so slow and didn’t mesh well with the zsh plugins. Someone suggested I try Fish instead as it pretty much could do what Zsh does with plugins but right out of the box. Fish was much faster and indeed could do everything that I had configured zsh to do but I didn’t have to configure Fish at all. It’s great, I’ll never use another shell.

The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. After they finally defeated Rita and Lord Zedd the kids are back at the command center celebrating with Zordon and Alpha 5 that they’ve finally beaten them both. They then talk about what to do next as they still had their powers but the big bads were defeated. The kids bring up the fact they maybe they could start doing good in the community and being crime fighters, apprehending regular bad guys and criminals and keeping Angel Grove safe for everyone.

They never did any of that.

In Family Matters I think her name was Judy. She was the youngest of the family and did indeed go upstairs and never came back down. I think they made a joke about it in the later seasons.

yeah it works flawlessly on Wayland, that wasn’t what I was saying. I’m saying on x11 it doesn’t work for gaming because of the setup. Say I want to use I3 or Herbstfluftwm. If I open a game and ONLY stay on that game it’s fine. but if I navigate away from it to look at a web browser or check discord and then toggle back to the game it results in a black screen or simply shows the desktop and the game is unresponsive. And from what I was able to find online the consensus seems to be it’s because x11 doesn’t play well with integrated and discrete dual GPUs.

Democrats were literally rolling on a much needed win this past week and then yesterday 8 of “them” decided “nah fam, we can’t let that momentum to continue to roll”

Christ on a cracker someone check their bank accounts and/or driveways for new cars. And of course Fetterman is one of them.

me!

I was skeptical about it but I saw it anyways. I was wrong, It was really good, I enjoyed it.

I’ve always been a fan of the Alien vs Predator Darkhorse Comics and videogames from the 90s. I loved the world building, how it all took place in the Alien future timeline, the lore was great. The human interactions with the Predators was awesome. Badlands reminded me of that and god damn do they kinda set it up for another swing at Alien vs Predator that would be set in a similar timeline to the old comics and games.

That’s what this movie, for me at least, was. It felt like a love letter to the very small fanbase of Predator fans from the 90s. The Badlands story has been told before on the pages of Darkhorse comics so for me it made complete sense. And it utilized a very important aspect from the Alien franchise without incorporating Xenomorphs. But man does it set up the potential for another AvP that DOESN’T have to take place on Earth and DOESN’T have to involve humans which I really hope they do.

when I first started using NixOS I was like you. I refused to use flakes and the home manager cause it just didn’t make sense to me. Then I borked my system royally and had to reinstall. just going off the configuration.nix alone was…it was rough. possible but rough. So I decided to use flake, home manager, along with my configuration and then suddenly NixOS just clicked for me, I finally made sense.

using all 3 just makes your system easier to manage. For example say you use a WM and you want to keep your WM (like niri or hyprland or sway or i3 or whatever) config reproducible just like the rest of your system. Sure you can throw your entire config into the home manager OR you can simply have the home manager literally manage said config. Keep your config files in your “nixos-configs” directory along with your home, flake, and configuration.nix and repo all that, boom it’s backed up and easy to reproduce if something goes wrong or you want to move your ENTIRE system to another computer. I do this for Niri, KDE, Yazi, Aerc, DOOM Emacs, Nvim, whatever I have a config for. So say I royally mess up a config for one of those programs or WMs just like my NixOS I can go back to a previous generation of one of them very easily thanks to my home manager.

Flakes are also good in case you want to use something that hasn’t been packaged on NixOS. Say like some awesome TUI or application someone recently made you can input the git repo into your flake and then “install” it via your home manager. makes things easy.

It also helps to understand and manage if you sort what each thing does. For me I use my home.nix to list packages that I directly interact with. So stuff like Qutebrowser, floorp, steam, OBS, Krita, etc, etc are all in my home manager. stuff that’s more backend/system dependent like git, libnotify, fzf, etc are in my configuration.nix i.e. the config of my OS while the home.nix is just like a package list and config files of things I’m more likely to interact with on a daily basis. It’s easier to manage when things are separate like that.

I keep all of this stuff in its own directory that is a git repo. so before I rebuild I stage it all. then rebuild. if it’s good commit it all, push it to my forgejo, boom instantly backed up. something goes wrong then I can either roll back a generation or clone the repo and rebuild from that.

I also feel it’s the mentality of some former WWE wrestlers that since they were in WWE, on TV, in the “big leagues” so to speak they feel that results in instant bookings and more pay. it’s been this way for years, decades even.

Hell I remember as a kid in the 90s going to indie shows with former WWF talent and they ALWAYS main evented or simply didn’t show when they were advertised. I remember going to a show at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ in the late 90s where it was supposed to be Yokozuna vs Super Fly Jimmy Snuka in the main event. Yokozuna no showed and it was Jimmy Snuka vs some local jobber. match lasted all of 20 seconds. Then Snuka was charging an arm and leg for a photo and autograph.

for me they’re a “last ditch effort”. If I can’t get something working correctly on NixOS then i’ll just settle for the flatpak but it’s not often that happens. for example I only have 3 flatpaks on my system one of which is discord simply because I found the voice comms work better with the flatpak than the native package.

I might end up switching to appimages though to see if they’re any better.

the ONLY thing I can think of is sometimes, at least for me, on wayland it will switch the naming on my second monitor between either DP-1 or HDMI-A-1 randomly for whatever reason. bit of a very minor pain if I’m using a WM where I have to go in and edit the config to switch it but on KDE it’s not an issue. that’s literally the only thing I can think of.

Loved the first game. I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with it. Second one was alright. I don’t think I ever finished the third.

“Capitalism for All!”

“BOOOOOOOOOOOO”

“um…Capitalism for some…MINI BOLIVIA FLAGS FOR EVERYONE ELSE!”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”

you hit the nail on the head. Americans believe the book still works. you can go in various threads be it on lemmy, piefed, reddit, etc and still the rhetoric “remember people, vote them out in the midterms!” is still being posted. Meanwhile a Democratic Rep from Arizona who DID win is STILL waiting to be sworn in. So the Republican Party/Current Dictatorship is clearly showing the American people that voting doesn’t matter. that they can simply block people who did win via votes from doing their jobs. Americans still don’t understand that. They still firmly believe that they’ll win the midterms by a landslide but…what then? the republican party can simply and president can simply say “nah, we’re good” and just stay in power. whose to stop them? and the current administration is hedging on that bet.

but…they’re not even signed.

They’re essentially “local jobbers” or doing the indie circuit and they’re demanding they go over? Neither of them are even any good.

Add to the fact that AEW, currently, is building a womens tag division thus you need a team like Tay Melo (who literally just came back from pregnancy) and Anna Jay to look strong as they were pretty much the first womens tag team before the damn division even existed. Both of whom have also been with the company since pretty much day one.

Shit if I were TK I’d sign Hyan and Maya World just to stick it to Alize and Nixon because Hyan and World understand what’s going on and are more than willing to do the job. Add to the fact they stepped up at the last time to do said job. you want workers like that around.

I’m not an American but I can kinda understand why. Gotta tow that line. A good chunk of Americans are on the verge of homelessness and all their healthcare is tied directly to their employment. So rioting, looting grocery stores, etc runs a risk of not only being arrested or killed but also losing their jobs and thus losing their healthcare. The US Government has done a brilliant job over the decades of establishing a system preventing people from revolting.

Now one can argue that other countries would revolt and they’d also lose said things mentioned above because how can you get healthcare if you’re actively fighting the system that provides it? But Americans don’t know that. They’ve been conditioned to, again, tow the line.

Add to the fact there’s zero leadership for said revolt. Literally none. This isn’t like Black Lives Matter where there was an organization rallying everyone. I mean the proof is in the pudding just look at the No Kings protests. when do those happen? on the weekend, on a Saturday, when the vast majority are off work.

Now if those protests happened at 11am on a Tuesday I’d be impressed, but as it stands right now? that ain’t happening any time soon. They need leadership, they have none.

just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!

no, they’re not.

ugh I know. In hindsight I would have never bought it.
