    I have had no issues with sleep on macOS, so whatever they are doing we should try to copy !

    The same MacBook air, that used to last over a week with the lid closed on macOS, now needs to be charged every 3 days on Asahi NixOS.

    Linux is a much better operating system, even just for the sheer variety of software available, but power management isn’t quite there yet in my experience on this laptop.






  • Universities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.

    Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.

    American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)



  • I’ve heard Flatpaks aren’t great at CLI tools, is that true ?

    As a Nix user, I’m glad Flatpaks exist for other people, but I only ever use them when a package is not available from Nix directly. Seeing as Nix is literally the biggest package manager out there, it’s a pretty rare occurrence.
