@ccolocho I kinda stopped hopping as much when I switched to nixos, because being able to just copy my config file onto a different computer and type 'nixos install' to just get an identical machine is just so useful to me

@ccolocho real linux users spend 15 hours rewriting chunks of the DWM c file

@ccolocho I'm still distrohopping, kinda? But I'm mostly using the more customisable distros (nixos, dragonflyBSD, arch), so my checklist is:

* make the computer work
* install a bunch of weird window managers
* install emacs

@galaxgal@dev.glitch.social depends... what do you mean by hackable?

@Elizafox HURD is amazing in theory, but when I used it, it didn't feel like anything more than an unfinished linux distro

@Elizafox I'm gonna install Gnu Guix ontop of a HURD instance spread across a networked supercomputer of 300 raspberry pis

I guess it is early morning for a lot of the people in the group, though...

I posted a draft of something I spent a lot of time on to a group I'm in, and nobody responded at all...

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz especially since a lot of older games aren't even owned by the devs anymore!

I'm just thinking about the recent dr who series (like, all of it, since the 9th dr) and realising that Donna was the only companion who was treated well *at all* by the writers.

LB: those are my thoughts - if it could be made equitable, opt-in, and themed, rather than based on popularity metrics, recommendations would be cool!

if follow reqs were opt-in and you could submit yourself to several themed pools (art, tech, wizardry, sex work, frogs, etc) and it was totally random or favoured people with fewer followers, never showed you people you blocked or muted, etc, that'd be cool

hey uh, if I ever interact with you in a way that makes you uncomfortable/upset/etc, you can let me know! you're more important than whatever stupid toot I'm making...

Disgusting assumption ancoms make about modern society 

@Elizafox inventions happen without a profit motive! it's super important (to me) to be emphasise that, because it's a tangible demonstration that capitalism isn't the only way to invent stuff

actually, I'm gonna do a bunch of simple haskell challenges now, but they all have to be point free
