Canadians: there's a Parliament petition requesting the government to step in to take action against anti-trans provincial legislation. Being sponsored by Don Davies. Please sign if you're eligible. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7027
At the protest yesterday, I was talking to a guy who is also heavily involved in resistance-- in fact, that was his second protest that day alone. Most people involved in the protest movement are pretty sure we're going to win this. Due to media cowardice, you have to be involved in the movement to appreciate its strength and scope. But it's the reason we're winning-- that, and what fuckups we're dealing with.
He agrees it's likely we'll win, but was understandably...
...staggered and grieving at the damage this regime has caused. We all are. Even when we take the country back, it will take decades to undo all the harm. I'd made the analogy of dealing with domestic abusers, because I have that background and because that's the type of people we're dealing with. He noted that you can get a victim to safety, maybe, but even then they are scarred for a long time, maybe for life.
This is true. But I was saying that both before and after we win...

Didn't know that Pringles finally dropped that weird unrecyclable paper+steel package
#macOS
once upon a time I bought the M2 MacBook Air
#nix
It is not much more than a year since I began exploring nix (or is it two years, I fool myself)
#DeterminateSystems
It did not take long before I discovered that to use nix on mac requires extra effort, when there inevitably are updates or upgrades. Apple has opinions. The opinionated nix, or more precisely its installer offload that effort.
#NixDarwin
nix-darwin enables system wide nix on macOS
#homebrew
Part reason I began using nix was moving away from Homebrew
#direnv
Exploring nix workflow led me to direnv, a powerfull way to load environments by entering directories. It works really great in tandem with nix. It is the sole homebrew package in my macOS
#asahi #linux
geerlingguy first reminded me of the possibility to install linux on my mac several years ago when the good folks at asahi released asahi linux
#arch #Wayland #Hyprland
Even more years ago I first began hearing the arch buzz, but lately this year buzz on arch using the Hyprland Wayland compositor for a tiled desktop got bumped and
#omarchy
the opinionated linux iteration No. 2 in DHH's series of "omakase" linux, making it easy for everyone to jump from apple to linux
#AsahiAlarm
Asahi has a project going on with fedora, but there is also the Asahi-Alarm based on arch. This is great because the arch project mainly focus on x86-64. Asahi-Alarm makes arch linux for aarch64/arm64 with the overarching project Asahi's focus on mac hardware.
Putting it all together tiredkebab manages scripts for mac based on DHH's omarchy
I then make my own opinions with nix, flakes.nix, and direnv.

We need to remember that not everyone shares our same preferences, like how I use none of these platforms, but others do.
If we want to the fediverse to thrive, we need to focus on making everything easier.
Like sharing a post on Loops.
This is implemented in a privacy focused way, we don't include any SDKs for the share modal, its just a url redirect

January 2025 - a small crocheted fox(?). Not sure what it is tbh - just a yarn doodle really.

Ned was my protest about generative AI and related Shizzle.
