NixOS configuration is done entirely through code, so all of your packages are in a list (although that list can be spread across multiple files; it’s a bit to explain)

I’ve found it can be easier to manage what you have installed, since you can just look at that list and go “oh, why do I still have xyz installed, idek what that does anymore”

I appreciate the way things are configured a lot, but I would not recommend it unless you really like coding and you have time to tinker. It’s not too hard to get simple config setup, but I spiraled down a deep rabbit hole really quickly.

EDIT: If my comment for some reason persuaded you to use NixOS, I recommend you get a basic config setup before installing it. I’d also recommend you look at how annoying it can be to run dynamically-linked applications (i.e. you download a random executable off the Internet and try to run it, or you try to run something you downloaded with npm)

iirc, it’s typically the pixel a series, normal pixel series, the most expensive iPhone, and the Samsung flagship (or smth like that)

The Pixels tend to give really punchy contrast which a lot of people like

oh lol

Some parts of the world (mostly Europe, I think) use dots instead of commas for displaying thousands. For example, 5.000 is 5,000 and 1.300 is 1,300

I’m not entirely sure. It could be similar to HDR support (only available on Wayland), but I would need to look into it to be completely sure.

I’m pretty sure you can disable caps lock (or at least rebind it)

I currently have caps lock rebound to backspace. Maybe it’s a Wayland only feature and you’re using x11? idk

Ah yes, they’re going to collect all those 0’s /s

No, they’re going to collect a “this person used the chatbot sidebar” if that person has telemetry enabled. That’s it.

If something changes or comes to light, then I’ll be worried, but this just seems like normal technical data they use to know what to prioritize.

On my phone (Pixel 8 running Android 15):

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Privacy controls -> Ads -> Delete advertising ID

For anyone wondering “where do they get their money?”

It’s from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don’t sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

Bottom of their faq

I haven’t been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

btw, I think you may have mixed up the instances. The user is on .world and the post is on .ml

Other than that, you’re probably correct

torzu currently does this, though iirc the development is slowing because it’s a big time commitment

Without knowing specifics, I’m going to assume the “attack pride parades” bit is the people protesting against corporatized pride parades that are heavily sponsored by genocide-funding corporations.

damn, your neighbor must have stupidly fast wifi if it’s uploading that much so fast

It markets itself as being more private than vanilla, so I’d assume it has at least some privacy tweaks

I think you mean Koolnezz

I call my country a flaming pile of shit sometimes, for what it’s worth
