How does one get a job like this? This is great! I want to get a job in a school or university and infect it with linux. “Guys, look! It’s cheaper and we can set it up then pay for support which still makes it cheaper and students can learn how to use it on their computers too, since it’s freely available to them!”
What is this? It jumps in explaining features and details about other stuff, but doesn’t explain the basic goal. There are also no screenshots except of some table. It’s not clear how to use this thing.
A blog entry on how it works and what it does at a high level could be nice. I’m not sure what I’m looking at, but there must be some API call to Lemmy and it’s probably happening on the server due to CORS; not sure how this would work just in the browser if the Lemmy instance has CORS setup…
Edit: OK the instance 0d.gs does in fact not have CORS 😮 That’s a little concerning…
Hold up, neither does programming.dev? Uh… @recursive_recursion@programming.dev and @Ategon@programming.dev is that safe? I’m not a security expert but doesn’t this allow for cross site attacks?
I wasn’t being very serious about nix. IMO, it’s quite the time investment due to its poor documentation and it has a lot of gotcha’s if you aren’t on NixOS e.g one example is that it’s great for terminal applications, but horrendous for GUI applications as it’ll be hit or miss. Again, this is if you’re not on NixOS. So, it can feel like an “all or nothing” approach.
If you have the time and will, then it can be very rewarding. But if you just "want something that works ™ " side by side in your current system, personally, I wouldn’t recommend it - unless it’s hidden by some other tool like devenv (which is a great tool for reproducible developer environments).
Adopt nix and you will be able to ignore it forever! 😉
Seriously though, as others have said, use whatever fits you best. I avoided snaps and flatpaks due to the increased size requirements. So many things were duplicated for no apparent benefit (to me). However, with their introduction of permissions and portals, it does seem like a safer option. Although, we’re in a phase right now where not everything is flatpakked and applications trying to talk to each other is a pain (keepassxc unable to talk to flatpak firefox librewolf, chromium, etc.).
Now that I use nix, I have a whole bunch of other problems, but at least getting packages is quite low on the list.
So many things I’d have to look up to understand what’s going on and why this is supposedly transphobic.
What bothers me more is private discussions being aired publicly.
If it’s on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it’d be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).
