Good thing it only happens to the Chinese…

Doesn’t that defeat the only benefit - anonymity?

It’s ok at best, when it works. When it runs out of API hits for the day at noon, you need to use something like https://searx.neocities.org/ and retype your search multiple times until you manage to hit an instance that can actually perform a search.

Also, no suggestions.

we have no choice but to push people from non-aligned countries away

Non-aligned countries are fine, they can always invade most of the countries once again, the issue is with the Eastern block.

i don’t see what it offers over e.g. debian

Open clan has better techno-mages

Best case scenario: sunk cost fallacy

Worst case scenario: there’s a lot of shit you can do when you control a closed source app store, and canonical has a history of doing sketchy shit like selling user data to Amazon

OK

As far as I understand, they’re not replacements in the same way nix profile replaces nix-env. They seem to serve a different purpose, but I don’t know enough to say for certain.

$ nix shell -p python
error: unrecognised flag '-p'
Try 'nix --help' for more information.

No, it builds on top of nix. But it seems like the only real option for declarative package management.

Nix shell and nix-shell are different commands

Nix run iirc only works with flakes

So does nix shell

It’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

Where danger is double and pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

It’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

Home-manager > nix profile

Also, nix-shell is supposed to be used for debugging, and nix shell/develop for using packages without installing them

Is there a better way of starting the emacs daemon?

I just use the DE/WM autostart functionality

if there’s something that I can adopt as a default goto solution without having to worry about how each system is packaged/configured.

Go is probably your best bet. Simple to use, and you can compile it so it runs everywhere

Lucky guy, I ordered it to Germany and they wouldn’t let me use the non-eu warehouse (so they can get rid of their overpriced stock I’m guessing)

Stopwatch - can’t be minimised, can’t see the time while it’s open, restarts when you get a notification (the fixes have been sitting in the PRs for years)

Notifications - don’t get cleared when you clear them on the phone, clearing them on the watch doesn’t close the notifications screen, answering your phone through the watch doesn’t dismiss the call notification

Heart rate monitor - essentially useless since it can’t take periodic measurements, doesn’t work great unless you’re wearing the watch on the inside of your hand, but at least they’ve managed to finally read the sensor docs and program it correctly

Step syncing is a massive pain in the ass and often requires you to “manually” sync them by walking around while keeping both devices active

Battery barely lasts longer than a week even with infrequent wearing (and that’s a massive improvement over the previous 3-4 days max)

Lift to wake up usually acts more like shake to wake

The UI is pretty bad overall

There are like 2 half decent watch faces

Horrific weight distribution and the shitty strap make it feel 10x heavier. Like, my automatic is almost 2x its weight and I barely feel it, while this crap is constantly reminding me it’s there.

The CPP OS doesn’t let you chose what apps to activate nor does it have any way to load your code aside from compiling everything

Updates are only mostly headache free if you use specific PC software. Keyword is mostly, I’ve had some updates take a bunch of attempts to install.

That’s just from the top of my head

I call bs or it was before they started shipping from EU. You literally couldn’t order to Europe or EU countries from the other warehouse while they were stocking it.

It’s got a lot more issues than that. It’s utter trash unless you like want to practice CPP.
