@speckledlemon@urusai.social the whole thing just stinks of Cmake. They’ll just have a hell of spaghetti recipes and tech debt no one will be willing or able to fix because Nix has that makefile problem (“I don’t know how to write make, I just copy other Makefiles”) that is deeply entrenched given the poor documentation. They’ll have 10 different style of recipe file that they’ll have to support.
It just feels like it’ll be pain forever.

Nix sounds like a great idea wrapped in an utter garbage implementation that everyone refuses to fix because of the sunk cost. -

Everyone who uses it speaks like a battered housewife. They talk it up and then accidentally let slip all the utterly insane things they had to do to learn it and get it to work. The community also has a weird Dark Souls-esque Machismo around it too. Just gotta get gud at Nix, son. -
Nothing gives me bigger whiplash than clicking on a thumbnail of a cute photo, and noticing an unnecessary amount of detail on a characters feet when it loads@fujiwara@sakurajima.moe I joke sometimes that you can tell an artist’s fetish by where they spend the most time. Same is true in books and gaming I suppose. Everyone always puts both more and less information out then they intend.

I am no longer religious in the traditional sense and no longer Christian, but I once was.I am no longer religious in the traditional sense and no longer Christian, but I once was. I find the idea of any religious service run or composed by AI not just in poor taste but completely macabre. It makes my skin crawl.
Even when I was religious I would have instantly left any congregation that allowed it.

Me: Why am I buying mayonnaise?I canned way too much tuna. I still have like, 35+ 8oz cans. I am not sure why I did so many when I don't eat that much tuna...

Me: Why am I buying mayonnaise?Me: Why am I buying mayonnaise? I can make that myself easily
Then I get to making it and remember that it's a pain in the ass without a hand-mixer and that it doesn't even last that long in the fridge. Oh well. I'll just have to make smaller batches.
It's kinda fun to eat a tuna salad sandwich in which I've made the bread, the mayo, and even canned the tuna myself. -

It feels like such a waste but I was racking up such a sleep debt the last two months that I was beginning to end days slightly delirious. I feel like I’ve come out a fog.

I'm thinking of getting a custom email domain to make it easier to switch providers.@dopey_kun@sakurajima.moe It's something I really wish I'd done before I went with my current provider. If I ever jump email providers, I will definitely be putting my own domain on it.

It’s weird how all these Laissez-faire market guys are all also weirdly obsessed with internal control, massive bureaucracy, and algorithms on all their products.It’s weird how all these Laissez-faire market guys are all also weirdly obsessed with internal control, massive bureaucracy, and algorithms on all their products.

Maybe my players are just really bad at minmaxing, but by the gods enemies in #PF2E feel like absolute damage sponges.Maybe my players are just really bad at minmaxing, but by the gods enemies in #PF2E feel like absolute damage sponges. Even at party level 6 the enemies remain pretty milk toast because anything but low-level mooks will take most of the night for the party to painstakingly work into a paste.
It’s a good thing we’re an investigative campaign because a combat campaign would be a painful one. #TTRPG
