Declarative operating systems sound really neat - I'd love to be able to configure my system + applications through files.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested in Nix because of how Dolstra is handling the current community outcry. Ideally I'd like to stay on Arch, too.

Does anyone know what the current options are? Are any of them as maintained/supported/documented as Arch itself?

Arch has been great, btw!

@vascorsd Thanks for your reply! I looked into Guix a bit.

It seems infeasible for me because, if I understand correctly, the official package list only contains free software (https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/Software-Freedom.html).

It would be great to be able to only use free software, but the reality is that I depend on non-free software too.

I wonder if there are non-free packages maintained unofficially/how good the package coverage is compared to Nix...

Loudly declare “We have to save Christmas!” about every complication or obstacle for the next 24 hours, especially to your pets

@ryanhoulihan 😆 I've started doing this and it's very fun. Spilled some water: "Oh no!! I need to save christmas!!". Wiped up the puddle: "Ahh, christmas is saved!!".

It feels like I'm in my own hallmark movie, which is extra fun because my partner and I watch a hallmark christmas movie every year to enjoy silly things like this!!

In the last few weeks, I have been trying to organise the development work, so our (very small!) resources are used efficiently. This led us to a tentative roadmap for Mastodon 4.3, with a (very optimistic) release date before Christmas.

Here are the main items ⤵️

In hindsight, I think the most powerful thing about quote tweets was that you could highlight behaviors and stances that were unacceptable, and at-scale that created a sense of culture.

There are quite a few posts aggressively missing my point I'd love to quote-boost, but since I can't do that here, I can only tackle things one at a time as replies. And then the cross-instance nature means many won't see that!

So that's fun.

I'm sorry people responded like that! I think your thoughts on YT are really reasonable.

You've articulated something I've felt before well. Many conversations on social media I've seen have not felt very conversational - like people are talking at each other rather than with each other - in ways that would be unpleasant in person.

I sometimes think about how social media has existed for only ~30 years. Only 30! That's nothing on evolutionary time scales!
