       love 2 update ffmpeg with homebrew, causing it to also update such related packages as *checks notes* python3, sqlite, harfbuzz, and sdl2

       @shadowfacts The best part is no notice of what is about to be updated so you can “nope” out. So many of our devs have broken their setups updating some innocuous package and the world updates. I switched to Nix recently due to this and a few other reasons.

       @mcg not gonna lie, nix has piqued my curiosity in the past, but it's always seemed too complicated for macOS

       @shadowfacts Installation has gotten a lot easier now, but still takes some time to learn all the parts. I built out my brew setup and dotfiles with Home-Manager as I was migrating to Nix. Definitely worth considering.
