| 2026-02-13 23:30:42 +0100 | <ElementalFluorin> | yushyin: Wait, so it’s this all new idea that will make dependencies super-easy, and you’re telling me it will make dependencies *harder* for me? Okay, I don’t think I wanna try NixOS. ^^ |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:59 +0100 | <mauke> | ah, here's a version with an "answer key": https://lemmy.ca/post/52764317/19307072 |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:33 +0100 | <ElementalFluorin> | mauke: Wouldn’t that be IBM/RedHat? |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:29 +0100 | <yushyin> | FluoridinatedFlu: be prepared for the fact that building haskell projects on nix/nixos can be a challenge, especially if you want to link against shared libs. When I tried that a while ago, I regularly ran into linker errors. I apparently exceeded the argv max length or something |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:20 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | I see :p |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:14 +0100 | <ElementalFluorin> | tomsmeding: I tnink that was the joke. :) |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:04 +0100 | <Rembane> | I think I would prefer a world where more was fashion tech and less was fascism tech |
| 2026-02-13 23:29:01 +0100 | <mauke> | the "corporate control over packages" thing might be nix |
| 2026-02-13 23:28:55 +0100 | <ElementalFluorin> | monochrom: Uuum, in practice, capitalism’s goal of profit maximization by definition leads to totalitarian fascism though. But I think we’re getting too political in here now, for my taste. |
| 2026-02-13 23:28:25 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | ah |
| 2026-02-13 23:28:19 +0100 | <mauke> | tomsmeding: they're projects lead, financed, or controlled by people who are anti-woke, anti-diversity, and/or plain racist |
| 2026-02-13 23:28:14 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | honestly, most of the things that mauke mentions fit more with "fashion tech" than "fascism tech" |
| 2026-02-13 23:27:53 +0100 | ElementalFluorin | (~Elemental@2a02:3035:613:b707:f5e7:32a2:68a3:74db) |
| 2026-02-13 23:27:41 +0100 | <geekosaur> | and btb I originally read "fashtech" as a portmanteau of "fashion" and "tech", but then I think a lot of modern (especially web) tech has been there for years |
| 2026-02-13 23:27:24 +0100 | <monochrom> | "corporations protecting you from yourself" sounds more like capitalism than fascism. |
| 2026-02-13 23:27:00 +0100 | <FluoridinatedFlu> | I’m gonna develop a ASN.1 impllementation of Nix syntax; gouge your eyes out, because I am Nyarlathotep! XD |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:55 +0100 | <geekosaur> | but I don't think they've built an OS around hurd+guix as yet |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:54 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | because if this is just a random list of bad stuff, I'm still not sure what "fashtech" is supposed to mean :p |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:52 +0100 | <mauke> | I don't know that one |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:47 +0100 | <Clint> | what's the wayland part |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:46 +0100 | <mauke> | the web browser is ladybird. the "distributed functional programming" is urbit |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:40 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I might also drop in guix as a somewhat more principled nix-like |

| 2026-02-13 23:26:25 +0100 | <mauke> | tomsmeding: might be tailwind. the x11 stuff is almost definitely xlibre |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:17 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | the nix website probably has css |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:07 +0100 | <FluoridinatedFlu> | Or fashionable ones |
| 2026-02-13 23:26:06 +0100 | <monochrom> | Does nix have CSS? |
| 2026-02-13 23:25:52 +0100 | <FluoridinatedFlu> | tomsmeding: Bad ideologies, in general, I would say. |

| 2026-02-13 23:25:37 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | mauke: what is @zzt referring to there? It seems like a random list of "bad stuff", but then "terrible Fisher-Price CSS" sounds like it's targeting something specific |
| 2026-02-13 23:25:34 +0100 | <FluoridinatedFlu> | mauke: XD |
| 2026-02-13 23:24:58 +0100 | <FluoridinatedFlu> | monochrom: Well, that’s easy: Just instead of NewStandard 1.0, call it ThatOldStandard 2.0! :D Look at my boy USB! :D |
