Every nation in the world should fund open source technologies with a large chunk of their tax revenue. The fact that this isn’t even close to happening almost everywhere says all we need to know about world governments and their corporatist nature.

You conveniently dodged my question, then asked me stupid questions, thinking I’d have to agree with cherry-picked offenses by China. I am not a fan of China. I just think they are justified in defending themselves. Furthermore, I think it’s hilarious that the the US decided to offshore our high tech goods to have them manufactured there as if we weren’t ASKING to be hacked. The only solution going forward is CLEARLY domestic RISC-V manufacturing and not allowing our enemies to manufacture our critical technologies.
Do I support China’s:
Do I support China engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely
Do I support the US engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely
Do I support Israel engaging in pre-emptive cyber warfare against aggressors: absolutely
Do I support war crimes being committed by ANY of these countries: NO

IMO, it’s a mistake to be shutting out other cultures because of these easily-fixed technical issues.
Personally, I’d rather a translation option was added like they have on Mastodon. I’d miss out on some smart people if I blocked all German and French posts from my feed. Those just happen to be the best languages for high assurance engineering talk (which is basically all I care about).
Embedding Trojans in your enemy’s infrastructure and leaving them to be switched on in times of war is ABSOLUTELY defense. You may not like it. But that’s called cyber warfare.
Quick question: Do you fundamentally disagree with what China is accused of but fully support Israel and the US’s extrajudicial backdoors, Trojan horses, domestic spying, pager bomb assasinations, AI targeted air strikes, and other clandestine war crimes just because they are perpetrated by “the good guys”?
This story deserves a “no doy!”
All major world powers are bolstering their cybersecurity. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t survive in such an opportunistic world.

Get this fucking Google ad out of here.
Not to be confused with absolute eunuchs:
This is really cool.
It reminds me of the Edinburgh Decentralisation Index: an academically rigorous decentralization index that the university of Glasgow school of informatics devised to quanitfy the decentralization of cryptocurrencies:
The Edinburgh Decentralisation Index (EDI) studies blockchain decentralisation from first principles, archives relevant datasets, develops metrics, and offers a dashboard to track decentralisation trends over time and across systems.

You should give it a serious look. IMO, it would offer some insight into academically peer-reviewed ways of quantifying this kind of thing.
I think you need a lesson on recognizing cynical sarcasm.
No hard feelings! :)
Yes. But it was pretty tough to use gvolpe’s config as he had all kinds of git-crypt stuff I needed to unravel. but I eventually got there and now I have a fleet of machines with configs based off of it with all kinds of idiosyncrasies depending on the machine. It’s quite elegant once you tame it to your will. I had a super smart German bud of mine almost give up but I kept helping him until it worked.
Haskell has a pretty tough dev experience if you don’t get Nix involved, IMO. I got involved in all of this because of Cardano, so I was instantly a flakes, Haskell, and NixOS advocate right away. It has the capability to tame incredibly complex stacks. If you revisit Haskell, do yourself a favor and do it from within a custom IOG Nix Devshell. Life is SO much more locked in there. Ps. Ghcup simply doesn’t work in NixOS because it flies counter to the NixOS way, though I’m pretty sure you could get it to work using fhs derivations or whatever. There’s a lot to relearn in the world of NixOS but, IMO, I’m just learning the RIGHT way and trying to drag the Docker fanboys along for the ride with me. :)
Fair enough. Fangs retracted. 🙏
Because, as you alluded to, it simply cannot break.
It is formally verified. In fact, it’s the only window manager (tiling or otherwise) that can claim that. Formally verified means there are virtually no flaws in the code and it will continue humming along as long as you present it with a valid config.
If my config compiles, it will work in XMonad. Only NixOS and GUIX offer the same compilation-tied-to-validity of a config…and I like that a LOT. I actually started learning Haskell by building out my own config (which was forked from this absolutely incredible master class in NixOS configs by gvolpe). I even built a DSL in Haskell in two hours that flawlessly controls my smart appliances with hot keys I programmed.
Also, I have it wired into my NixOS config so it is plug & play for me. I could switch to Hyprland in a heartbeat but honestly…I dislike it. Config files should be in a format that DOESN’T suck ass, IMO.
Perhaps if they’d switch to using Haskell for config files, I might consider it but those GPU intensive animations aren’t worth it also. Work continues to replace XMonad with a worthy Haskell successor and I’m honestly in no rush to switch until it’s done.
tldr: In a phrase: Xmonad just works.
Ps. When I compare the Xmonad part of my config with the Polybar part of my config, the difference is stark. In XMonad, I feel free to sculpt the experience in any way I want. In Polybar, those FUGLY .ino files are a curse upon mankind that needs to be eradicated by elegant software like XMonad. (though XMobar didn’t impress me, weirdly enough)
Nothing else compares. I’m begging for an explanation on why you’d go out of your way to shame another person for what software they prefer. I’m terrified it’s related to being unable to think for yourself.
Wake me up when Waymonad is released.
XMonad for life.

Nice try loser. We’ve been through this and we both came to the conclusion that I am not and you are a weird loser that doesn’t understand that people can have friends and followers on the fediverse.
