seems like they have pretty clear goals in mind. if they were changing distributions haphazardly id otherwise agree, but to me it reads that they're refining their taste.
the fdroid build of android doesn't have a real linux environment that you can install arbitrary binaries on to. you can switch to a termux-ish proot environment and do x-forwarding or TUI emacs but those are shenanigans
Without reading the article: I've used Nix on macOS without nix-darwin or home-manager for some time now. I define my packages in a flake.nix that exports an environment and I use install using `nix profile`.
That's a great setup for package management. Stuff like Nix-Darwin and Home Manager start to shine when you want to also do some configuration management. For just package management, your approach is probably better in that it's simpler.
this 10,000,000,000%!! (dr stone ref.) I love modal editing and vim a ton, but I couldn't stand the half baked solutions terminal editors gave me. We have an entire rich graphical platform, why not use it?
I want threads to succeed so badly. It's the only app I've ever actually liked the UI of. I've tried numerous Mastodon apps (Ivory included), BlueSky, Twitter, and all of their web variants. I find myself returning to Threads even if the functionality is limited, because it's just that enjoyable. I'm rooting for 'em!
I chose Rust here because that was what the command line tool that I referenced were written in. I'm not going to argue on HN about memory management (because I too, prefer Zig over Rust) because it's all about the program you're trying to write.
In terms of generating the object file with a single toolset, It's just not something I care about. This was like, a two day project. I don't need to make it more complicated than it needs to be
