I want to love Guix (both the package manager and the distro). I want to love Scheme. But I can never find any good tutorials for Scheme and using it with Guix. The GNU documentation is more of a reference than a tutorial. I use Emacs on the daily, and I just can't get into Scheme.
I'm over here still using OpenRC. Mostly because I want to. Some servers I run have systemd on them. systemd is generally nice. OpenRC has finally gained the ability to run user services, which is also very nice.
Probably a case of legislative inertia and tried-and-true practices. It's also a thing that's mostly limited to the US, I feel like. I want to say many other Western countries have digital systems in place (maybe not the BEST digital systems, but something better than fax).
Fax is not end-to-end encrypted. Not even sure it's encrypted in transit. But it is also something that doesn't rely on a third party provider storing all your data indefinitely and then losing it all in a data breach. Of course, that doesn't stop people from hooking up to a virtual fax service that might store info on a server... but still...
core_of_arden@feddit.dk it's people that need to be right all the time, or people that just need to feel superior/vindicated.Don't know if I'd say it's a conspiracy, though.

Mozilla seems to not be able to do anything good. No matter what decision they take, it will be perceived as a bad one by some vocal segment of the community.
Probably some announcement on a loop that they usually have at airports about what to do at security. Although I have no idea why the Secretary of Homeland Security would need to be on one of those videos, or what she would even be saying. Probably something fascist.
But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They're both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.
paequ2@lemmy.today I mean... I don't really fully understand Elisp either, despite my Emacs config being 10 years old! 😅
cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de yes. Lock screen widgets went away after Android 7, I think. Now, 8(?) years later, we can introduce it as new feature!
judgyweevil@feddit.it I see you have been to the Netherlands.

treadful@lemmy.zip well, easy is relative, but it's this treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAFT
treadful@lemmy.zip Netherlands also has a xenophobia problem. It's not as progressive as people think, at least not anymore.
That being said, it's not a bad country. Also one of the easiest EU countries for Americans to immigrate to.
You assume precedent, consistency, or ethics matter to the current people in power in the US.

npm install left-pad:DDon't quite understand the JavaScript one.
How did you clean it out? With a toothpick? I have the same issue and it's been a while since I cleaned out the port.
can@sh.itjust.works isn't there also Drip as an open source option?

This article reads like a one star review of a recipe because someone swapped out all the core ingredients and got mad it didn't taste good.
Is this actually a legal Jenga setup? Assuming you could actually get the tower to this state without violating the rules?
This trailer doesn't really have the same vibe as the original. Some funny bits though. Maybe it will be good?
Definitely an overreaction lol.
