Do you mean you’re changing that file in /usr? Don’t do that, that is managed by the package manager and will get overwritten on updates. Awesomewm very likely has a way to run a command on startup, use that.

Very true haha. NixOS is great and the best I’ve got right now but I would lie if I said it has never been painful.

Especially for desktop use I want to build my own distro which takes a lot from NixOS, mostly in terms of the central configuration but not much else (I definitely want a more sane package installation situation where you don’t need stuff like wrapper scripts which are incredibly awful imo), but also other distros, and also with some unconventional things (such as building it around GNUstep). But who knows if that ever gets off the ground, I have way too many projects with enormous scale…

I run NixOS. It (or something like it, with a central declarative configuration for basically everything on the system) is imo the ideal server distro.

Someone stole my digital camera when I was a kid. I left it near the window at the place we were staying at for our vacation and someone must have grabbed it from the outside while we were gone. I was probably pretty mad about it back then. Nothing since, that I can remember right now at least.

• I used to do side loading on iOS for a modded YouTube app (uYou+) but now I just use YouTube in the browser with AdGuard and Vinegar extensions. There’s ways to sideload and auto refresh the certificate that don’t need you to connect the phone to a computer which apparently work pretty well (I used AltStore which was pretty annoying because it doesn’t do that).
• Usually I think you just have to enable NSFW on a computer/via the browser for it to work in the app. At least that how it is for Telegram iirc. Generally there shouldn’t be a problem accessing anything.
• No idea, the only thing I play on my phone is Shattered Pixel Dungeon and I bought that

Ah, so that you can easily replace it if it ends up on some spam list?

What do people use Google Voice for? Phone calls from PCs?

1. Stop using GRUB, it’s a horrible legacy sprawling mess, most of which you don’t need
2. Windows doesn’t delete the bootloader with EFI boot, just make sure you have free partition space for it to create the system partition and a large enough EFI partition.

You cannot cross-compile Linux kernel drivers for Windows. The API is completely different (and I kinda doubt anyone has made a compatibility layer like ndiswrapper).

MTP is horrible, when I had an android phone i had similar problems with it. I would recommend KDE Connect which also exposes your files in dolphin directly, or the adb command.
