Rules for thee but not for me, the republican way.

Ah good point lol!

If my dentist ever said stuff like that to me I would tell them to shut the fuck up, and just do your job taking care of my teeth. If you don’t I’ll go to another dentist.

But support may be harder to find in the GOP conference, where many lawmakers say costs are still too high and have been eager to make another run at repealing the ACA. The last effort in 2017 failed when Republicans couldn’t decide on how to provide coverage to millions of Americans who depend on government-run marketplaces for their health care. It’s a dilemma that persists for the party after record numbers signed up for coverage this year.

Hey, you fucks, you know what would make healthcare cheaper? A single payer system. You assholes won’t do that though because your corporate masters won’t allow it.

Profit based health insurance is immoral.

Ah a stream of enSHITification.

Let’s go Streisand effect!

GPL, because the code is open and stays that way.

Treasonous bastards.

I think it’s worth noting NYMVpn uses a quite advanced mixnet for security which is different from other VPNs and theoretically more secure than even TOR. I say theoretically because it hasn’t yet been proven with large scale use.

More like vulture capitalist.

kvaesitso is a good free/libre launcher. I’ve been using it for a while now and like it.

Totally, since being able to compile from source is very much a security issue.

I jpst googled it and got these steps (haven’t tried them yet):

To set up a Nix service in your Guix configuration, you need to enable the service in your configuration file, typically located at /etc/config.scm. You can refer to the Guix documentation for detailed instructions on how to properly configure and manage services.

Step one: Open config file

Step 2: Enable nix service

(use-modules (gnu))

(operating-system
  ...
  (services
   (cons* (service
            (nix-service)
            (nix-configuration
             (nix-channel "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.11"))
            )
          ...)))

Save the file and reconfigure:

sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

After reconfiguration, verify that the Nix service is running correctly by checking the service status:

systemctl status nix-daemon

Additional Notes:

• Ensure you are using the latest stable version of Guix to avoid compatibility issues.

• If you encounter any problems, consult the Guix documentation for troubleshooting tips.

• The Nix service allows you to use Nix packages alongside Guix, providing flexibility in package management.

Hope this helps!

No I didn’t do anything in my config. You can though and it seems like a better less kludgy way to do it, I haven’t done that yet. If I ever figure it out I’ll let you know.

to install nix succesfully on my laptop I had to do the following steps:

guix install nix

nix-channel --list

if nixpkgs is not in channel then add

nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

sudo nix-channel --update --verbose

now change the group and ower of /nix

cd /nix/

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./var

sudo chown -R {your user name} ./store

sudo chgrp -R users ./var

sudo chgrp -R users ./store

now update the channels

nix-channel --update --verbose

################################

then install say firefox

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.firefox

Let me check my notes ths weekend and get back to you.

I use nix for any packages I can’t get from guix repos. So that’s an option too.

I’ve been using linux as my only OS since 2019 and like you came to the conclusion that it’s come a long way and is totally a viable option instead of windows.

Linux is great at running on old HW. I have a desktop I built in 2009 that runs linux.

If you’re OK with using non-free/libre software I reccomend the systemcrafters install guide

https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/

That’s a good point too.
