nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.

nah, they’re just good at posting. up your game.
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it’s not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
a gift economy is also an exchange of goods but it’s decidedly not capitalism - no one earns any profit and there’s no flow converting money into capital and capital back into money.
vegan archbishop also sounds pretty cool but then people are gonna assume you’re catholic
nix overall is a much better solution to this problem.
no joke it’s how I learned linux, bootstrapping a gentoo install from the toolchain on up, with a printed manual. it’s surprisingly effective, if time-consuming (took me about 2 weeks to get to a booted system, though most of that was compilation time - took ages back then).
the US controls the international money supply. the loopholes employed by those companies are very easily closed as is the ability of companies headquartered outside the US to operate within its borders. companies will fall in line. and any support granted by other countries are easily neutered by shocking the money supply.
lol the US doesn’t care about international law
Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.
just so we’re all clear on the purpose of this bill.
literally every other distribution can solve this problem but Ubuntu can’t?
the distinction is because those red states have extensive efforts underway to go after queer people and this bill enables them to do so online.
this doesn’t require them to do anything, it just gives them new powers.
our usernames have @hexbear.net in them from other sites lol.
this law requires positive proof with IDs. it’s also going to be used by red states to go after online queer communities.
yeah, Rs have already been bragging that they’re going to use this to go after queer communities online.
I think one of the issues with nixos learning materials is that they eschew talking about how to write your own packages. but to really understand anything, you have to get your head around writing and modifying packages. in nix, a package is just a build step that can do I/O during particular phases and produces an output to the nix store, so they’re an essential building block for anything that isn’t utterly trivial.
the other major stumbling block is working out how modules (the things that let you write config for the system) can actually be composed. adding a new module to imports gives you new config params you can set so you can organize your system config in terms of modules and packages to make things work the way you like.
Nix Pills are the canonical learning material for packages. I don’t know of any good learning material for modules - I learned by working on nixpkgs and another involved project that made extensive use of modules.
lastly, nix config files are written in the nix language and it’s a bit idiosyncratic. it almost looks and feels like Haskell but it’s slightly different in important ways. there’s no way around learning it if you have multiple systems and want to share config between them.
bit tired to respond tonight - I’ll get back to you in the morning
yeah, you need to run grub-install now, so do it from the arch install environment. you’ll be able to boot into Ubuntu once that’s done (assuming grub.cfg is properly configured for Ubuntu)
no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.
