    Then you have NixOS, which is declarative, and fairly immutable.

    You don’t have to reboot to make changes, but you can’t just run unlinked binaries either.

    You can’t do things like edit your hosts table or modify the FS for cron jobs. The application store is unwritable, but you can sync new apps into it .

    You have to make changes to the config file and run a rebuild as root.











  • Right when S2 came out, If you needed to go in and screw with anything they would force you off of S1 into S2.

    Right when the app released it was pretty bad. They broke the integrations. Speakers were having a lot of trouble being added. My SL ones were just appear and disappear randomly for a bit. It took them like a month to sort it out.

    But 99% of my use cases are audio over ARC, and playing music in one kid’s room every night. The arc never stopped working for me on my beam 2.

    When the sl-one dropped off I just used an echo for about a week. Plex was broken for two separate 1 weeks bands during which I also just used the echo.

    I think it didn’t bother me all that much because I’m already presenting to home automation, and any of my cloud immigrations just explode every time a company farts.

    I’d love some speakers that allow streaming without having to be cloud-controlled. I’m afraid I’d have to make them myself.




  • I don’t love Ubuntu as a desktop, but i’ll fight to let other people try it and make up their own minds.

    We have rather substantial tribe mind going on with anti AI, linux distros that suck, and which browsers are awful.

    We’ve had hivemind since forever, but it’s starting to get more pronounced.
