I don’t remember exactly, they were trying to package some dependencies they needed with guix and it was just a big headache.

I’ve seen good devs, helped by the team of guix themselves, fail for weeks and weeks at making it work as intended. That’s not a working software.
Guix is far from being practical for most uses though.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth”English11·2 months agoClothes very similar to the stereotypical “african clothes”, they have dark skin and it is a core part of their identity, they got the actor of Tyler as a way to have an “exotic” accent, they also made them cannibals, with weird voodoo religious rituals with suggested (even if not so simple) rape, and if I’m not mistaken they commit terrorist suicide attacks as well.
They feel like a concentrated mix of the racist ideas gathered over the past 200 years, and are used to show that they are scary. Or to make it more obvious, they are shown like “exotic brown people who hate the white ones, and just want to eat them, rape them, and suicide on them to mass murder civilians to instill fear”.
I’m not the only one who noticed that but I really can’t understand how anyone can not see it.

I wouldn’t call it a salty broth but a big racist piece of shit.
Well from what you’re saying I’d go for something like EndeavourOS.
Based on arch, usable out of the box but without much preinstalled so that you can do your own mix. Manjaro is a bit similar but with more preinstalled (and maybe more bugs from what I read).
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Why performance optimization is hard work91·2 months agoMost performance optimisation can be done through improving algorithms and data structures, and knowing well the language you’re using.
I don’t think I’ve encountered any performance issue that wasn’t either:
- Unavoidable because of what I’m doing
- Coming from an inefficient data structure or algorithm
- Coming from a bad use or pitfall of the language.
Of course there are specific cases such as low-power environments and such, but that’s not what most people talk about when they talk about performance.
I also would like to point out my confusion with the obsession towards performance when it’s not needed (such as “is languageA 10% faster than languageB?”) but then everyone putting web technologies everywhere, from games to desktop software. It’s starting to feel like performance is more of a cult than a pragmatic question at this point.
This quote is full of shit though.

Containers are fine but docker is a pain in the ass that lazy people use when they don’t want to provide clean installation/packaging.
How many times have I seen an equivalent of “we use a custom fork of an obsolete version of an unmaintained package, so if you want to compile it yourself good luck because we forgot how we even did it. Alternatively, you can install the docker version”…

“Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own” is often a manipulative way to say “let’s allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own”.
And I’m sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.
Solumbran@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•NixOS project calling contributors "nazis" - dunno what to make of it.112·9 months agoThe guy is a nazi trying to pull off some utterly stupid rethoric of “oh noes the evil trans people are coming to discriminate against us and replace us”.
I’ve never seen something so absurd and would advise the writer to go seek help.
What I’m seeing is a guy who panics because he’s a transphobic piece of shit and is seeing that the world is changing and he won’t be allowed to be discriminatory as much as before. And he’s using the typical crap of “why not sit and talk” that nazis love to use. “Why do you censor my nazi opinions instead of talking about why we should kill black people or not?” would be a similar line.

I wouldn’t call it friendly.
I just use pamac. Almost never have to use pacman directly, except if somehow something broke with pamac, which is rare.
I’d say that it doesn’t belong anywhere.
