I would like to see a NixOS config toggle to switch to #Sequoia. RPM already is migrating to Sequoia (https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.18.0) and I've heard that Debian may do to the same.

I was asked to document my email over #NNCP setup on #NixOS so here it is: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NNCP#Email
I've had my mail delivered exclusively by NNCP for at least six months now without any problems, although I still receive mail through a paid service by having it forwarded onwards to a personal domain.

Perhaps but "it was all a dream" counts then we have to include Inception, Jacob's Ladder, and the Wizard of Oz.

I have not seen the The Game but watching The Thirteenth Floor again makes me want to watch more stuff from the late 90's.

Would you be interested in acquiring and asserting legally recognized religous prohibitions that restrict the use of technology?
(No smartphones, no "AI", limits on screen time or pixel density, TBD)
If so, what are your conditions:

Labor is not scarce but neither open-source nor Free Software acknowledge that, so those movements are not allies of socialism, they are best useful idiots giving stuff away for free. However, I do not think socialism can leverage cheap software to the same mangnitude of effect that monoply capitalism can.
I don't think software that is free to distribute should disappear, but as a rule of thumb, whenever someone does work before they've been paid it is exploitation. A software movement worthy of any respect should not involve publishing code before everyone who wrote it has been paid.

We have to stop giving software away for free and make exchanging source code transactional.

You should care, metadata can be meaningful than data.

It turns out WWW3 will be less like Call of Duty and more like Duck Hunt, except with drones.

The most sustainable source of funding for a fresh european phone stacks is secure phones for use within government. Unfortunately in that use case there is a disincentive to polish and publish APIs because by their standards existing phone apps are spyware.

I'd like to see a study that compares the ratio of open-to-closed github issues for venture funded and personal interest software projects.

My experience using #SimpleX chat:
- The version number of the Nix package cannot be evaluated without bootstraping a custom GHC build
- Servers are configured by an interactive process hardcoded in Haskell
- File-transfers work between clients but not across local filesystems (move by rename bug)
- SOCKS proxying is supported, but only if the SOCKS server is a local tor instance
- Works great in London
- Works not at all in Russia
I recommend avoiding Simplex until upstream can align their opinions with what would be reasonably correct implementation details.

In 1974 Deng Xiaoping met with Henry Kissinger, George Bush Ⅰ, and Donald Rumsfeld. The transcript is worth a read.

I was going to vote against the pro-genocide cop but it costs at least $20 to send my ballot back to Pindostan and I'm not registered in a swing state so my vote wouldn't count anyway.

I'm going to #OggCamp2024. I've got talk material but nothing planned.
