Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, "the love of nature" seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love. There are souls, he thought, whose umbilicus has never been cut. They never got weaned from the universe.

    Beware! This is hosted from a machine in my closet! Expect frequent downtime, no CI (yet), and even shittier CSS than @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org's, i.e. none at all!

  • Thank you for engaging with my (hidden?!) content. I don't know how stuff works on these kinds of forums, to be honest! I don't think anyone really cares one way or the other, but... better safe than sorry, sometimes, maybe?

  • I was going to work on a patch before I got too sleepy, but now I am too sleepy. Anyone else has my permission to make a page for me if they want to and get to it before I do. It feels a little self-absorbed to talk about myself in such a way anyhow... I am a FUCC greenhorn, after all!

    Actually no! That's what Haunt is doing right now. For composing I just have Org export to markdown... though there's definitely probably a better way. I'm figuring it out as I go!

  • GNU Guix 1.5.0 released!

  • Guix System is still niche enough that finding real-world examples will be difficult, but not impossible if you are persistent. As @hello_hello@hexbear.net said, the documentation is very well done and comprehensive for the most part. Very few methods and properties are still undocumented, but they do exist and that can be a pain to navigate if you're not prepared to dive into Scheme source code. I really appreciate David Wilson of System Crafters, he is very knowledgeable and a lot of his prior work with Emacs configuration was in my wheelhouse anyway. Same with David Thompson, who has contributed a lot of tools utilizing Scheme that were particularly relevant to my hobbyist sysadmin work. I think Guix, like Emacs, requires a very stretchy sort of mind to really take advantage of and get into, and it takes a long time to pay off. If universal blue is working for you, then I'd recommend just playing around with the package manager part of Guix first, and if you wind up liking it then try out the full Guix System.

  • But at some people don’t want to keep learning how to use stuff, they want to start using it.

    That is impossible, then. I don't know what else to say to it. You can't use something without first learning how to use it. Life is learning new things, forever. We don't know how to do anything without learning first, and in the age of the web learning something has never been easier.

    And before you say that the first steps are easy, let me rename all commands in your CLI and see how quickly you find out how to read a man page.

    If I wanted to do something, then I'd figure it out. I do this all the time in my work. I don't know how every tool works, I don't know how every environment fits together. I still don't see how this is an argument for "I do not want to learn."

  • Again, though...why is that bad? Did you know how everything in Windows worked the first time you used it? Of course not. Why is this different? There are going to be growing pains to learning anything new. What's wrong with reading the manual if you don't know how something works? Isn't that what they're for?

  • The allergy to CLI is always strange to me. Computers didn't always have mice, or GUIs, and people had to learn them when they came around. It's like saying "I want to ride a bike but I don't want to learn how." After a certain point, I don't really know what to say to something like that. You have to learn how to do anything that is new to you. That doesn't make it bad, or even necessarily difficult...but anything you don't know will be unfamiliar, and one just has to be OK with that for a while until it's not anymore. I think the usability of most mainstream distros is right where it should be. GNOME and KDE have done a very good job of it (edit: barring some very important accessibility concerns, which the GNOME and KDE teams have both shown to be open to learning from and improving on).

  • I don’t want to learn CLI.

    But...like, why? It is less effort than it was to type out the entirety of your post. I will never understand.
