fun fact: with some mirror mounts, you can make cheap portable monitors into good flat display mirrors for your various lab stations~

techbros be like “we should do things just based on their technical merits” but I don’t see any of them changing their legal names to UUIDs or setting their watches to UTC

Thanks so much to everyone who hung in this week as we’ve all worked to fix the state of the Nix community. It’s been a ride; but I think things are going to get better.Here’s the last major piece of the puzzle — the product of several months of work from an absolutely incredible team. It’s not ready for a full announcement, but we’ve opened our beta so people who are fleeing the core Nix community have a place to go.https://lix.systems

This isn’t just a fork of Nix—this is the work of a team of 10+ people near-constantly since early February. (Technically, us too — but our task is really just enabling others.)Some serious work has gone into ensuring it improves on upstream without having the regressions that have plagued them last three major versions!And, since this will matter to some — it’s not a project of the NixOS foundation, but an independent organization that takes its responsibility to its community seriously.

illegally downloading a book for my e-readers from Anna's:- download book- use itdownloading a book legit from Google Play Books:- buy the book, pay money- get an acsm. install adobe digital editions. -by the time the install is done and activated, the acsm's expired- get a new acsm- editions crashes and won't let me transfer it to an e-reader- get the deacsm and dedrm pugins for caibre.- fix the ACSM plugin's dependency; its version-parsing regex assumes versions all match \d\.\d\.\d

something I only learned by experience: if you meet someone, and their "life story" includes basically everyone they've ever really interacted with being a multitude of abusers, you're most likely looking at someone who's engaged in DARVO* their whole life, and who will gladly add you to the list of accused if you resist control * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO
