  • “macOS” is not the same as “Mac OS”!

    “Mac OS X” was rebranded to “macOS” (or rather, “macOS” is the successor to “Mac OS X”, but really just is the same but newer, the “upgrade” was just like any other update between Mac OS X versions afaik), and “Mac OS 9” does not belong to “macOS”.

    actually, i believe the top two should be switched.

    at least that is what my perception is of people who drink coffee vs people who don’t drink coffee.

    but it does make sense in the sense that the pictures represent someone who is already addicted to coffee, which feels like must be a majority of programmers hahaha



  • I honesly feel like a jew living under nazi germany

    i am sorry, but i am not sure if you know how ridiculous and hurtful this sounds for people who have witnessed the holocaust and their relatives.

    you do not know how it feels to be a jew under naxi germany.

    i do not doubt your suffering and oppression, but this is a bit insensitive in my perception and i think these are things we shouldn’t compare until there are comparable things happening.

    anyway, yes, that sucks. i am sad that your government is like this in an authoritarian way and that everbody else is ok with everything.





  • i live in germany and to me telegram doesn’t feel niche at all.

    a lot of younger people use it a bit like discord, like for group stuff. organizing (like e.g. political activism), finding apartents in berlin, and yes, getting drugs as well. also some worklplaces use it (which i think is terrible). it is also preferred by a lot of people to communicate via telegram over signal or whatsapp in situations where people don’t want to give away their number, like online dating.




  • some comments.

    • both are absolutely fine for a university laptop, though very different.
    • NixOS is more stable. It is almost impossible to brick it, you would have to delete every working old generation.
    • nixpkgs is like arch repos plus AUR together. nixpkgs is actually one of the biggest repos if not the biggest repo at the moment. so no problems there.
    • i mean, this is like highly subjective and my own opinion: go with NixOS, it’s just a cooler OS imo and your system and your abilities will only get better with time. and it’s fully reproducible by design, so almost every bit of work you put into it will be worth it, in some sense. i also believe that NixOS will become much much more relevant in the future. bigger community, better documentation, more resources!
    • …unless you don’t want to put a lot of time in it in the beginning. it will most likely be really frustrating and it will distract you from other dtuff you want to do on your computer. like just getting browser email editor etc. you will have a setup no problem pretty quickly. it won’t be more than just puttung the programs you need in your systempackages. but then you realize you need vpn, or a dropbox client, or some audio setup, and other stuff, and before you know it you are spending hours and hours or weeks trying to find out how this works… this is, i would say, the major “downside” of NixOS conpared to arch
    • if you can afford trying it out and then switching to something else and starting over again, try out NixOS!
