  • But the claim is that you need to learn nix to install apps that aren’t in the nix repos, which isn’t true.

    You can. And then you can even contribute that back upstream and make it available in the repos, but that’s not a requirement if what you need to to get an app to run on your system that isn’t currently packaged for it.





  • I’ll say this.

    When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

    • train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
    • develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
    • build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

    Or

    Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

    I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.
