reddit killed 3rd party apps and i don't wanna use their shitty app or websites on my phone so i just ditched it for lemmy

oh actually my bad, i figured out how to do it declaratively

configuration.nix

{
    pkgs,
    config,
    lib,
    ...
}: {
    # ...
    thigh-highs.enable = true;
    # ...
}

my nixOS didn't come with thigh highs

Yes, but also not really? Not sure if enabling "Keep Inventory" counts as cheating in survival Minecraft or if it counts as a play style. Of course creative mode is only cheating when you use it in a world that was meant for survival, but I haven't done that. Really unsure what counts as cheating in Minecraft singleplayer to be honest.

Other games: no, not really, I don't even know how to cheat in Hollow Knight for example, Universe Sandbox is fully a sandbox game so you can't cheat, and...

Oh wait, I guess I did use Assist Mode in Celeste once? I think that counts as cheating since I didn't really need assist mode at all I was just frustrated and wanted to have fun. Yeah, sometimes I cheat actually. It's fun in singleplayer and doesn't ruin the game for anyone else.

Not diagnosed, unsure about autism status so assuming neurotypicality until proven otherwise, answering anyway because I hate buying stuff online:

When searching for a product, whether you're looking for a specific one or just browsing a general category, you will find that all (actually, I meant "most of", using "all" for emphasis) the categories are made up, useless or inconsistent: there are duplicate categories, obviously missing values that should be there - honestly, there's no way a person created those labels. I get it, big online stores have lots of products, and lots of different types, it must be hard organizing all of those into neat digital boxes for a better user experience.

Oh wait! They're huge corporations, they can afford to do that, probably! Just hire someone to categorize the products, or tell the people submitting those products to label them properly or suffer consequences. Provide better labels, I should be able to know exactly, or at least with near certainty, what a product is just from the tags (in my opinion).

They didn't exclude Mexico, Central America or South America.

NixOS and I use Helix, Neovim and Emacs (in that order of preference)

My theory is that: With social media people are exposed to more and more stuff, specially bad stuff due to algorithms, and when things happens, you usually feel a need to form an opinion on them. The quicker you have the form an opinion, the more nuance you lose, if you don't form an opinion now, the next thing will arrive and you will be outdated. People are having to choose quantity over quality when it comes to their opinions.

Again this is based on not much and utterly unscientific but I think it makes sense kinda.

Digital/no pressure buttons are completely unreliable when used to control a physical thing.

erm actually (in the nerdiest voice possible) it'd be more accurate to say x² = y or y = ±sqrt(x) instead of y = sqrt(x) since the square root symbol only gives the principal root

if aliens were real, i'd hope they have really cool non-warfare technology that we can steal. hopefully they haven't invented space copyright or trademark equivalents.

I would be afraid of using it, forgetting I used it, and then using it again, in an endless loop. Other than that, I think society would change tremendously, and with change, specially regarding something as fundamental as memory, comes chaos.

Maybe I'd use it to forget some awkward, embarrassing moments, but I don't know, I'm not that worried about them since I imagine everyone else has probably forgotten about those by now, I'd be worried that by purposefully forgetting crucial life-changing moments I'd be, like, losing a part of myself.
