  • Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever

  • When you're a demagogue, they let you do it. I just grab the country by the pussy, I don't wait.

  • Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever

    Jump

  • I saw a comment from a conservative recently who was hoping that Trump would create term limits for congress. Like, how delusional can you be?

  • Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

    Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It's not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you're handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

    Not being able to set an event date and have "daily suggested workouts" follow that is my only annoyance, although I've been happy just using the defaults for now.

  • Gen Z Won’t Save Us

    Jump

  • That's generally the consensus, that young men are roughly as conservative as they were historically, but women are more left-wing (although maybe a bit less than expected, given recent election results).

    Results from Reagan's 1980 election win look fairly similar: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980, excepting that women and men were voting in similar ways for each age group, and bigger margins to Reagan in the older groups.

    EDIT: Nevermind this doesn't actually show age by gender data.

  • Where should I declare the packages I want to install?

    Jump

  • (What about options in flakes.nix? Should I search those on the flakes/options tab?)

    Not quite sure what you mean here. I normally only configure out-of-tree packages as flake modules (or whatever the term is), and I don't think there is an official collection/search page for these. It's mainly that certain packages require it like lanzaboote, and home-manager for that matter.

    Once I enabled home-manager, I saw that in ~/.config/nixos a flakes.nix and a home.nix files appeared. I already have a flake.nix and a home.nix files in my etc/nixos directory. What’s going on?

    It sounds like you configured home-manager system wide, probably through /etc/nixos/flake.nix, but then called the home-manager executable. If you did configure it like this then you do not need to call home-manager ever since nixos-rebuild etc commands will handle this for you.

    Does putting packages in configuration.nix use the version control flakes provide?

    Typically, it will be configured to follow inputs.nixpkgs so packages will use versions of whatever revision is currently pulled. In my system that is:

      
        
inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    and then you essentially pass that to configuration.nix, and home.nix.

    And although you seem to already be using flakes, when you call:

     
        
nix flake update

    a new revision of input.nixpkgs will be pulled, and so packages configured in configuration.nix will be updated when you next call

     
        
nixos-rebuild switch

    or whatever you used to update your system.

    Refer to: https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/

    if you haven't already as there is where I got started from for the most part. There's a lot more detail I missed since nix and flakes are pretty complex (and I don't fully understand much of it either).

  • Where should I declare the packages I want to install?

    Jump

  • System packages in configuration.nix, user packages in home.nix. I'd say anything that is non-interactive and/or requires root access is a good rule of thumb for system packages. Beyond that I try to use modules for configuring packges and there is usually only one of nixos and home manager options (sometimes there are duplicates).

    As for flakes I mostly use it to handle a bunch of different systems from one config and any flake specific configs. I also use standalone flakes for dev environments but that's not related to the system config.

  • Yeah, it would have just been feeding their infinitely expandable persecution fetish. The same goes for the legal cases against Trump. It was the right thing to do, but it just meant that Trump supporters dug in their heels even more.

  • This is pretty much it. The disengaged public needs simple, three-word slogans and they need to stick on message, relentlessly (and it needs to connect emotionally as you said).

    And while it goes against every instinct of those who are college educated, you need to say things with over the top confidence. Hedging makes sense in the academic world, but average people trust people with excessive confidence.
