Ironically, the Substack essay which was linked to is titled "A Love Song to Nicotine" and is all about how the author enjoys using nicotine for productivity boosts, and doesn't feel like he experiences many downsides to using it.

>you totally deserve this.

The vast majority of consumers don't understand that purchasing hardware with cloud integration essentially means they're renting their own products. I don't think it's a very logical conclusion to make either, unless you spend some time thinking about it. Therefore I don't think it's fair at all to say that they deserve this. Lawmakers need to push back on this, but that I think we agree on.


Would you like to share the app?



Nice work! I appreciate the showcase video

I've heard many people quip that the best thing about using a $25000 terminal is being connected to other people who can afford spending $25000 on a terminal.


Haha, I was getting ready to bring up NixOS until you mentioned it.


I've come to appreciate this book more after finishing it, as I'm able to process the themes without being subjected to the torture of actually reading it. Good luck!


The Count of Monte Cristo was my introduction to classics. I remember being intimidated yet excited by it's length. It's a great adventure, a page turner, and has interesting characters and sub-plots. I had the honor of visiting Dumas' tomb in the Pantheon this summer. Notably, his tomb was raised above the others who shared his room, including Victor Hugo.


I think Gnome removing options was more about having a smaller and more manageable set of features that need to be QA tested. I'd much rather have well-designed and well-supported defaults than 500 buggy customizable components that don't work well together.

I'm not sure about you, but I find Gnome very easy to use, although I miss some features. Those features can be added with Gnome extensions that are maintained by third-parties. Meanwhile I find GIMP extremely hard to use, as it packs in too many features to allow their designers to figure out a good UX which doesn't break some component.


What are the cool stuff that you gained with Nix?


Not the case in Notepad, Edge, RegEdit, Windows Settings, MS Teams, Firefox on Windows, Bruno, Windows Search. Where exactly did you experience this? All aforementioned were tested in Windows 11
