  • After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

    I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

    To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

    You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

    You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

    I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.






  • Yes, I’ve used them a lot. You have to download them separately, but it’s just a zip file that you extract and then tell rawtherapee where it is. It has many films; I really liked Portra 400 for portraits.

    I think you can also get the Fuji film LUTs, so if you shoot raw you can later pick whichever film simulation you like.

    For live preview I usually set minimum contrast and saturation, to get wider dynamic range (on the preview)




  • “We believe this ban marks a significant turning point in South Korea’s attitude to animal protection,” said Lee Sang-kyung, a spokesperson for the local branch of the Humane Society International, an animal rights group. “(This) is testament to the passion and determination of our animal-loving public and politicians who reached a tipping point to consign this outdated industry to our history books.”

    This doesn’t look like it will do anything for “animals” as people will just eat other animal meat. It just appeases western sensibilities about what the world is allowed to eat.

    I’ve tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don’t see how it’s better.

    Even looking at the screenshots I don’t understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn’t even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.

    Then there’s the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn’t work with nvidia, etc.

    There’s nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.



  • Well let’s see

    • Doesn’t work with nvidia, the leading vendor of graphics cards
    • Drops support for a huge set of diverse window managers and applications
    • Reimplements X11 functionality over shitbus, an incomprehensible nightmare
    • sandboxing security designed to enable Windows/Android like apps where users run random proprietary malware
    • Promoted for purely idiotic reasons like like “circular windows”

    I could go on…
