Why yes, future person, I’ll fix the spelling.

I didn’t get an underline because it was capitalised, apparently.

Why thank you.

Yep, this is the stupid timeline. Y2K happening to to the nuances of calendar systems might have sounded dumb at the time, but it doesn’t now. Y2K happening because of some unknown contractor’s YOLO Friday update definitely is.

I have a MacBook that runs Linux. Where am I on the shitbird scale?

It seems like it’s in like half of the news stories.

Yes, VMs will be more manageable.

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment, but this is pretty intense.

Honestly my philosophy these days, when it comes to anything proprietary. They just can’t keep their grubby little fingers off of working software.

Moderately. Same rough idea, with a few other things in the blend. For example, I found it via GNU Shepard, which it uses, while Nix sounds like it just uses systemd. The Guix package manager will also compile things from source with custom options if it needs.

That’s barely an opinion, haha! That’s pretty much just what it is.

So, I actually learned about Guix via GNU Shepherd. It sounds like NixOS just uses systemd, which I don’t love. Not in a dramatic way, and I’m currently running systemd, but it does break the Unix philosophy.

A Haskell-based package manager would be pretty dope (seeing as that’s the gold standard for that sort of language). I wonder if someone’s working on it.
