That raises more questions than it answers 😅 I appreciate the effort though.

I run NixOS on a few servers. I remember there being some controversy around them accepting contributions (either money or code — my memory of it is a little fuzzy) from some company that’s part of the military industrial complex. Is Framework worse than that?

Is it ethically unsafe to use? Do they make money when people use it? Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, I’m surely missing a lot of context

What difference would that make? (I’m not familiar with the precedent, so probably missing some context)

Edit: Downvotes? Was my question (or my ignorance) somehow offensive?

🤔 I think I’d try to avoid staying in a hotel with no bathroom doors. Sounds like a prison cell

It’s also interesting that it has made somewhat of a comeback after some newer technologies have faded away

Lol what? I’m so out of the loop

Oops, that’s what I get for being on my phone hours after I should have gone to sleep. I’m an idiot at those hours lol

Indeed. I assumed that was obvious when I wrote it, but thanks for confirming.

Only nine now? That’s so much better than it used to be!

When I first tried Linux (Mandrake, many years ago), I could probably come up with 9 problems in just the first hour 😆

It’s easy to find nine problems in Windows too, so this is pretty good for a free OS, IMO. It’s great to see Linux gradually become more mainstream (aside from Android and servers)

Edit: I’m a dumbass lol

Totally off-topic: I thought your use of the thorn was an interesting choice (though a bit distracting to read). Your profile bio says it’s meant to affect LLMs, so I decided to send this comment to a small LLM (gemma3:12b-it-qat) running on my home server, along with the prompt “Remove the thorns.” It had no problem at all.

In an LLM training data pipeline, I really doubt the thorns would affect the training data. They’ll probably get filtered/corrected (maybe even by some other LLM) before getting used for training.

Unfortunately, I don’t think your dream of mainstream LLMs using the thorn will come true. It’s probably much more inconvenient to humans than LLMs.

This kinda sounds similar to how things worked before GitHub, when people just emailed their git patches. Some OSS projects still work that way.

There’s also that cultural shift that resulted in people’s Teslas getting burned or vandalized. I would imagine that some many would-be Tesla buyers changed their minds because they wouldn’t want their new car to get attacked.

So with the tax rebate ending and the Tesla destruction, I’m oddly kinda optimistic about that 6%. It’s still progress

Didn’t the EV tax credits go away? I haven’t been following very closely.

If so, then isn’t 6% growth still kinda good? At least it didn’t shrink within the first year of the “price hike”, right?

I don’t disagree with your main point, but I’m not sure it’s really even “stealing”, as that means to take without permission. In this case, the storage permissions were configured so that the files were publicly available to everyone, so everyone had permission to access them.

Semantics though. It’s still unethical to access that data, even if it’s not technically stealing.

I’m no lawyer, but this seems like at least grounds for a class action lawsuit, I would think. Like, it seems like privacy and security is implied (however ironic for an app like this) when requiring users to upload their PII.

Also, I assume their privacy policy didn’t mention that they were just gonna publish their users’ PII.

Congrats! Enjoy your null 🙂

Thanks to web browser development, there has been quite a lot of focus/investment into JS runtime optimizations. Since the server-side runtime environments use those same JS engines, performance tends to be quite good.

…ok, I’m morbidly curious. How did you manage to do that?

OOPs

I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I’m really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

The cost has been ~$20 so far (I’m still tinkering with it).

ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw

Edit 2: I asked it “how might I streamline my deployments a little?” It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

The script didn’t work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked “what went wrong here?” It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I’ve had so far
