Make sure to seed them

I don’t see how it would happen. Nix is immune bc hashes are constantly checked, you can’t swap in malicious code without a person noticing bc it might throw a mismatched hash error. Also nixpkgs has been really good about vetting packages, I don’t expect them to look too closely into the source codes of everything but if something malicious were to happen like what is happening to AUR someone would see it way faster

It looks like a uConsole

Mainly just sshing into my main desktop and doing side projects

I kind of wish we’d get some copilot discounts if we opt in

Always love to see the Nix flake support

They’re kind of already is. It’s the free and open source community.

The problem is phones are actually incredibly impressive pieces of hardware and the fact that we can Mass produce them has diluted that opinion. I’m actually to look into building my own phone and I wanted to have at least some near-flagship specs. I know how to design my own circuit boards and get someone to print them. But acquiring CPUs that perform at least 1/4 as well as Pixels or iPhones is objectively not possible, these companies have deals with manufacturers for exclusive products. And even if you could these chips are so precise you will never be able to figure out the signaling yourself.

Maybe things have gotten better now that we have ai and you don’t need to be any sort of expert in anything you just need to be good enough at decision making problem solving and communicating to acquire the skills and knowledge to work on these chips. And by the time you’ve done all the work and acquired all the hardware you might have spent close to 3 to 5K on a device you could have just bought for $800. All for what, to circumvent privacy breaches that should be illegal in the first place?

And that’s the root problem we’re trying to solve. Another symptom of these companies being able to engage in the bad behavior that they do is that they gain the ability to overvalue themselves. There should be no safety or privacy concern when engaging in the purchase of any device for the same reason that people should not fear food poisoning every time they go to the grocery store.

That’s what the regulators are for. This is a legal issue not a technical one.

But the only underlying cause for why we’re not regulating tech companies is because fear of privacy violations is not reducing market activity. Apparently people are still going to use their phones even if their phones are listening to them having private conversations. Apparently people will still buy shit off of their phones even if their phones are going to use that data to show them ads.

Apparently the harm of your privacy being breached does not hurt enough to prevent you from doing good things.

Now if Android takes away my F-Droid, Tasker and Termux I’m gonna throw a fit. That’s not privacy that’s self-determination, I bought an Android because I can customize it to be as low friction for me as I need, if my phone starts giving me friction then we’re going to have problems.

Never enough watts

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Just saying it so it’s out there

Rust is the foot gun, it’s so perfect that you genuinely cannot just sit down and type out what you need.

Recently I’ve just been getting co-pilot to do it

I have an alias that calls the copilot CLI with a prompt that says “set up typescript”

Fuck this

I add a lint rule to prevent using the any type. Solves the problem

This has got to be some sort of psyop

That almost feels analogous to the world burning… like this is going to sound a little macabre but are you really expecting 2026 to be better? If so can you articulate why??

When I read about this I’m always brought back to the conversation of “internet as a public utility”. I hope it’s cool if we can take a tangent.

See unlike any of our other utilities like natural gas electricity water and sewage, the only thing that could potentially give any meaningful information about us is our sewage, and the government already tests sewage for diseases. If we allow the government to “sell” us our internet they would basically be able to know everyone we are “talking too”. Also how could we ever have enough regulatory oversight to protect everyone on the internet. Symmetrically if the government wants to have so much regulatory control over our internet it should maybe pay for it.

Like I wouldn’t mind even paying another 50 bucks a month extra for “private internet” just so the government can have their free and regulated “public internet”. Or would I (⁠・⁠–⁠・)⁠ゞ?

The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.

I wish Rocket Chat got more attention

My dad got me started programming when I was 12. He gave me the “introduction to c# copyright 2002” (dm me for the isbn if you want, I’ll have to find it later). I might have done 10% of the book before I kind of got bored and started doing whatever the fuck I wanted. By age 16 I got my first job, and then in college I always had some sort of contract… nowadays I’m working full-time.

All I have is that anecdote to say no… I really hope other people have had better experiences than me.

But if my anecdote helps then you could have potentially three to four years of teaching them how to problem solve as a skill before you teach them how to program. I’m grateful for the problem-solving skills my dad gave me.

I’m also really grateful that my elementary School taught us how to type properly
