subsequent reviews are almost always faster than the first one in my experience

This is actually not an exaggeration. Ive been using WebStorm when it worked well, then it became progressively slower to the point of being unusable even on small projects.

I've sold my PS5 several months ago. You can get a pretty gameable laptop and gog/steam prices are better. And I can install mods. Tree Sentinel Thomas Mod for example.

I am confused here... this is the car, that person buys and person owns. It is used to haul said user's butt from point A to point B. (a) like wtf? (b) what is it about these companies that want to commoditize everything?

i run all my stuff in vm's built with nix

not as easy as docker, but i have a few bash scripts that simplify things for me a lot

i hope that this protects me from the sweep attacks at least

I have FP6 with eOS, it's fine and works well. One thing that I can't do is use my phone to pay, e.g. Apple Pay.

You can't install Google Wallet - it does not work, but also defeats degoogle mindset. There were curve company that people seem to have used in the past, but seems like the company was sold to someone and now it's dead. So I have to use physical card like a boomer.

My story is similar, somehow my air managed to update to 26' (maybe I just clicked that stupid notification window button to make it go away). I will keep my opinions on glass to myself.

Facts are: docker broke again, app launcher is whatever the hell it is, firewall with started messing up with my dns blacklists. I know you can somewhat fix it, but nixos/asahi on m2 with hyprland gives me a workflow that is superior. I just won't go back. AeroSpace just can't match.

Then the credit cards... I have my original store country elsewhere. I've then moved a few times and changed banks. Now, apple does not like my card. It won't accept it. That's it. Nothing you can do about that. And I couldn't really change the country because I have had some subscriptions and I had to wait until they expire. Meanwhile, apple killed my apple subscription I lost Music, I lost cloud storage, I lost some backups.

The thing that incredibly pissed me off is that as soon as my apple subscription got cancelled I could not even see my music library in the app. It would just prompt me with "gotta subscribe buddy" screen, which I can't.

And yes, the hardware is very good. I love my m2. But the whole software part is becoming messier and messier and I don't want to deal with it anymore.

You can point AI to omarchy repo and have it generate a plan and them implement step by step.

My entire config is almost "omarchy", at least visually with hyprland and some other packages.

Yes, but you can also reclaim your space. I've configured nix to only store two latest revisions and have a ./switch.sh file that automatically clears everything up after applying nix.

I had issues when giving boot partition only 512mb, so I'd recommend going with 1G.

Nix is a really good good good approach to manage packages. I've configured an entire asahi setup with for my m2 and can't be happier. It's not without it's quirks and nixlang itself is a bit cumbersome to express what you want.

However, AI is a great fit to write flakes. You can easily understand the generated code and it gives a power to "review" the changes before applying them.

And while nixos is amazing, I think nixpkgs are a bit overhyped; I've encountered many packages that are abandoned and outdated.

I can share my configs if anyone is interested.

> It is the young people that are growing up conditioned to press accept

There is a similar story with Ford and how they build pavement everywhere and taught the young population that roads are for cars. Now we have to drive for 10 minutes to get from one shop on the plaza to another shop on the different plaza.
