Although another problem is that it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Yet another chromium browser with built-in proxies and data collection 🤷

Fair enough, I guess. Although I'm not sure I immediately see how nickel is better. Off the top of my head, typing would mostly matter in stuff like options, where we have type checks (ish) already, unless using types.anything or whatever else there is serving a similar purpose

Nix is typed: there are strings, paths, lists, attrsets, etc;

Not sure what's wrong with CLI, as I don't really use it except nix flake update (although I remember updating stuff installed via nix profile being a bit cumbersome, but it's not exactly a good practice to use it this way);

Good point with cache, although stuff outside of nixpkgs sometimes provides their own caches which are trivial to enable;

Nobody forces you to use github:nixos/nixpkgs, it's just a regular input. Ppl quite often have their own forks. It's also trivial to use stuff from outside nixpkgs (also just another input);

There are different builders (e.g. buildGoModule);

Idk where you've found toxic community, my interactions have been pretty nice so far (mostly matrix rooms);

GUI is optional, just like for all the other package managers. And it exists: https://github.com/snowfallorg/nix-software-center

Perfectly agreed with nix not (yet 🙃) being the best thing that exists, tho, albeit due to different reasons. For example, it's a PITA to debug, and the error messages are sometimes unhelpful.

Idk if it surprises anyone, really. Besides, given those apps are trying to eat yt music's lunch, it was more or less a matter of google considering them popular enough to take actively hostile measures... So, unsustainable in the long term, I guess.

Vimusic has been abandoned for like 2 years already. As for the others, there were issues for a quite while; besides, it's not the 1st time yt changing some crap broke them. IMO, it's about the right time to go navidrome + headphones + whatever provides recommendations (if you need those)

That's the neat part: you reverse engineer it.

I suspect they'll need something more tangible to manage that...

Huh, nice to see my initial judgment was incorrect

Given qi2 uses magnets to properly align the coils in the phone and the charger, it should result in generating less heat and overall greater efficiency, so it very well may generate less or the same amount of heat [edit: despite the higher amount of energy transmitted ]... That is, if your phone supports it. But all things considered, it'll unlikely ever be as efficient, and, hence, warmer than a regular wired charger. I mean, you're pretty much going ac → dc in the power supply, then dc → ac in the inductive charger, then again ac → dc in the phone itself for no particular reason. That being said, pd also runs quite hot at times, so, IMO, smth like plain old 5v 1amp charger would be more preferable given the use-case

Free as in free beer, not as in freedom. You can technically block undesired (or all) outgoing connections via opensnitch/portmaster, tho.

I'm wondering if those criminals are by chance mentally challenged. A private and "secure" phone with a proprietary "secure" messenger hidden as a calculator app... Doesn't the word "anom" ring any bells for them?

Idk, vr porn is creepy af. Or at least it used to be 5 yrs ago or so... Imagine a girl so huge one her tit is bigger than your head, for example. So, yeah, I noped out pretty much instantly
