That is a completely different thing than LLM generated code.

Is this a political blog post? I see Rust and Equality in the title..

That would explain the recent move to rewrite things in Rust on Ubuntu, they need the marketing to grow their user base.

Well, THEY have also changed the definition of "vaccine" and "pandemic" a long time ago. Go look it up.

How does it compare with https://github.com/solidsnack/GraphpostgresQL? It's like 7 years older and it takes the same approach, it seems.

That's the most rational plan. However pharma companies can just buy media presence, create panic and criticize their authorities(this happens to Bolsonaro in Brazil for example). Then riots begin, generating a whole other set of problems for the authorities who have no other choice but to save their neck and concede pharma companies demands.

Control the media to stop the panic, that only worsens things with a nocebo effect. Gradually remove restrictions since numbers are going down anyways.

Wait, you're supposed to stop any discussion whenever someone mentions the words "conspiracy theory".

The same happens on all package managers...

> #NixOS or #GUIX

Two years user of NixOS here, moved after using Arch for about 3 years. Overall I'm really happy with it.

I also evaluated Guix when migrating from Arch. My raw and honest opinion about it is that it's just an attempt at open source fragmentation with zero innovation(I'm not impressed by Scheme or Lisps) that uses GNU marketing/branding/philosophy to gain adoption. I decided not to waste any time with it.

> This way you can keep the system profile lean for fast updates of the kernel and such, and then update firefox and other things separately

That makes a lot of sense. Right now a nixos-rebuild is really slow for me as I have a big configuration.nix file. I guess Home Manager could help in this case, will dig into it.

Home Manager always seems like a unnecessary layer though. Why is it needed if you already control everything with NixOS?

Note that the "official" PostgreSQL docker image is maintained by Docker Inc - not by PostgreSQL contributors/members.

Also, you can send the logs to a centralized server with systemd-journal-remote[1].

There's a site called theync.com(I suggest not going there), which was always more gruesome than LiveLeak.

I never understood how they operate. Always thought search engines should ban the site or something.

Exciting? If anything this is depressing. How people throw around the word "conspiracy" in an attempt to sound smart and disregard(or even dissuade to consider) the most plausible explanation.

Bias? Whistleblower of a mafia goes missing and your first thought is that he commited suicide? Please, you lack intellectual honesty.
