    Gonna try out guix home soon.

  • Thoughts on the renewables boom?

    Jump

  • The concern I have is that China has over-optimized the renewables industry that they will dominate any export market. I don't think EVs and co. will do anything to prevent climate change I do think it will be an important tool for imperial periphery countries to strategically utilize such as the solar boom in Pakistan.

    I still think we are a ways away from the fossil fuel industry being made redundant. Oil imports as shown with chinas pattern of moving imports to countries like Canada after US sabotage efforts in venezeula will still be a tool of geopolitical advantage.

  • Interesting they're trying to represent this as the "typical" experience of migrants when the first profile they presented is a fintech ghoul with accreditations up the ass.

    They really can't wait for russophobia to be completely etched into the mainstream, or at least in the eastern Europe baltic gusano extended universe.

  • European society is not ready for the correct position on Ukraine, the material conditions haven't crashed down hard enough on them yet and the war has not been compelled to end yet, but as long as the communists hold the line on that it will be to their benefit once they face the reactionary fascists who "discovered" the anti EU, anti NATO position when the neoliberal incumbents have no use.

  • How to burn your own political career in seconds. Man really thought he was speaking at MSNBC with that line. I'm glad the chavista conensus seems to be that it was a terrible thing to say and will not be taken seriously.

  • I was reading this like it was an ML doing a bit on how the US would react to China curing cancer.

    God damn that would be good. US sanctioning the cure for cancer because it would bankrupt the capitalist medical industry, propaganda working overtime to make people reject the Chinese cure or some shit.

  • I really don't understand the Loki joining the crew idea, he's not going to fit on the ship.

    Now the Loki joining Blackbeard theory via rocks connection is something I can get behind. Blackbeard already has huge bruisers like sanjuan wolf.

    Or that Loki becomes king of elbalf somehow or takes up a yamato role to hajrudin.

  • Slow chapter, but I do like the depiction of Imu rationalizing his failure with Harald via racism and not that he rushed turning elbaph into the weapon to stop the great age of piracy. The imperialists own ideological hatred (of the D clan) sabotaged their attempts to maintain their compradors.

    Loki is freeee!!! Probably won't see the rest of the Loki backstory because that ties too much into shanks. Just gotta wait for the shanks flashback which is creeping closer and closer.

  • Do liberals adopt leftist personas to avoid confronting the consequences of liberalism?

  • Its the difference between understanding dialectical materialism and not understanding it.

    I have a liberal relative who agrees with all my shared insight, but then gets fooled by anti-korean atrocity propaganda against the DPRK. Someone who will read about materialism but then righteously declare that morality is an innate human trait, telling me that materialism isnt correct because theres no argument against idealism that convinces him.

    Mostly they are "true crime" enjoyers. They enjoy leeching off of "woke" political literature because it makes them feel better but won't make the emotional work to actually internalize themselves in it. These people are emotional vampires who feed off the misery and the iconography.

    But mostly its just that they're terrified of seeing the world. It all comes back to their fear.

  • Runtimes are a good middle ground, they can still receive security updates and application can deduplicate deps on yearly runtime releases.

    My flatpak size never went past 5GB from usage and that was with multiple versions of the same runtime. The space tradeoff with flatpak is very often exaggerated when the benefit is that you'll never have to worry about your /usr being polluted ever again or how every app is now sandboxed.

  • You can manage dotfiles via a symlink manager like stow or chezmoi but nixos modules were the truly only unique feature. The closest thing to modules is containerization with things like bootc which was really popularized by Universal Blue and the now famous Bazzite project.

    Otherwise, the only other serious contender in derivations is Guix which is a far better managed project but it's also smaller without the infinite GitHub, Palantir and Amazon money so WORLD rebuilds move much slower.

  • (not directed at you with anger or anything)

    NixOS also trades space efficiency, except it's even worse in NixOS's case because there's no programatic dedup that takes place. Flatpak apps can share runtimes and there is a problem with some apps that don't update to the latest runtime as quickly as they should but the space tradeoff is manageable. Fedora Flatpaks were created to address some of these issues (such as some flatpaks being binary wrappers).

    NixOS has a "1000 instances of nixpkgs" phenomenon where people have gotten conditioned into pinning revisions of nixpkgs instead of following stable so you can have one pin of nixpkgs and another pin of nixpkgs and the difference is a WORLD rebuild and nothing else because a security patch needed to be applied. They jerk themselves off on "determinism" and "reproducibility" when they really just leech of an AWS S3 bucket doing petabytes of CI/CD. They tried fixing this with content-addressed derivations where there would be a way to update packages without triggering world rebuilds but it was never finished and never will be finished because NixOS is a burnout factory.

    In any case, trading space for the ability to containerize graphical applications is the best tradeoff to make imo. Distributors can focus their attention on system components that cannot be sandboxed while app maintainers can focus on porting their application to flatpak and being able to triage on that. At the very least it's not like the Ubuntu "snap" store where it's legitimately a proprietary service.
