Honestly you should ! Unless you want to do crazy stuff you actually don’t need to learn the entire documentation.

I was able to setup full disk encryption with encrypted boot loader pretty easily, there are great tutorials out there. I’m going to figure out Secure Boot next.

The nice thing is that once you’ve managed to do something, it’s in your config forever. My main problem with Arch was the absence of rollbacks, and having to remember all the stuff you do when installing it that you inevitably forget before the next time your system breaks and needs a reinstall. There’s none of that with Nix, and it’s awesome.

Now I’m not a shill but I did switch from Arch to Nix (because my Bluetooth was irremediably broken on Arch, and no one responded to any of my posts) and it’s honestly a lot less complicated than the documentation suggests 😆

The config file thing works better for NixOS, but the même is still very funny !

I would say yes. The only time you don’t is when I already agree with you, but that’s because I (hopefully) already know the good argument.

I don’t believe in “common sense”, that’s just the biases someone already has. Some of them correct, some of them not, all unchecked therefore all invalid as a basis for anything.

That’s why I personally try very hard to only rely on POSIX stuff, even when it’s massively inconvenient. The only thing I haven’t gotten around to replacing yet is GNU make.

Does it ? I thought it was never completed !

On the other hand, if you want a microkernel that does exist, there’s Mach. But I don’t think you can replace Linux with it 😆

If ISO says there was a year 0, there was. There’s only one thing better than perfect : standardized !

This is pointless nitpicking. I agree with the definition, but presenting it this way is not useful. None of them think menopause removes your sex, that is not what anyone means by “sex change”. Not us, not them. I’m not lending credence to anything.

“Sex” as it is usually defined is the ability to either be fertilized and bear children, or fertilize someone who can. To my knowledge, no human who has ever possessed either ability has ever possessed the other one. We are getting close to making one of those possible, though (in the MtF direction).

This is what they mean when they say sex can’t change, and this is what they think you’re telling them is possible.

The other things you mention, which may scientifically be part of sex, is not what anyone means in casual conversation. Those may change, voluntarily or not, yes. But the main thing people mean when they talk about someone’s “sex” cannot change yet, although it can be lost, or never obtained at all.

Gotta sell those climate un-changing pills somehow 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet (meaning, reproductive sex). I do hope science gets there though !

I don’t even think anyone can change their gender ! Some people’s gender changes on its own, but I’ve just always been a woman ; and most trans people are like me.

The thing we actually disagree about is whether someone’s gender and biological sex can be separate. But it’s just a scientific fact that they are.

Someone has to explain how rm, which doesn’t allocate any memory (as far as I can tell), isn’t memory safe ?

zswap is broken right now anyway, can’t use it on encrypted disks (which every disk should always be)

Rule 6: Unreal does the same thing, everyone switches to Godot 😂
