What am I realistically supposed to do when the only place I can contact a lot of my friends is on discord, and sms is terrible.

Euphoma , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in Linux Gender?

VR is not good on Linux lmao. I have a valve index and when I used it on linux, it had super bright lights on the edges of the display. I ignored this and played for like 30 mins and after 1 month of no VR usage (busyness), I tested it on windows again and now the edges of my displays in my headset appear to be permanently tinged slightly lighter than the rest of the screen.

I'm not using my headset on linux again until people spend more time coding, because I don't want to permanently ruin expensive gear that I have lmao.

But they just personally don't want that on their instance while they create the lemmy software that allows for everyone to speak their opinions.

Nix is a programming language, so you have to organize your configuration yourself like you would for any programming project, usually by splitting it into multiple files. Also you can search system modules on the same page that you search for packages though usually there's not much of an explanation for what it does outside of reading the source code.

System modules use the package from the repository while enabling some systemd stuff and whatever other options that you will want enabled with it. On a single user system, there is no meaningful difference between system packages and user packages.

Home-manager can be used to manage files in your home directory, like your configs for apps and stuff. It also can have more module options for apps so you can set up their settings declaratively. Its not for everyone but this is what its supposed to do, outside of your normal nix configuration.

Nix flakes aren't a way to install packages, but a way to manage the nix based projects which include nix packages and your nixos configuration and is supposed to make it more reproducible, so its not directly related to installing packages. However if a package for something isn't in the repos, someone may make a nix flake for installing and building the package.

Its understandable that you are having trouble though, because the documentation for nix and nixos is terrible, and it only got better for me once I actually spent time learning the nix programming language.

Yeah noticed this when I started to make chatgpt write more sentences in essay's I was doing. When you make chatgpt write the next sentence in a paragraph 9/10 times it just rewrites what you wrote in a different way.

Euphoma , 5 months ago to Technology in Any duck duck go alternative that is better in privacy and security ?

You can just right click on the url bar to add search engines to firefox, I did that for the nixos package repository and youtube.

As for duck duck go, you can try searxng instances though you are putting your trust in some random admins in that case.

Euphoma , 5 months ago to Technology in Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not

I think a big problem with apple doing this is that they literally decided to make the body of the device out of steel, which is much heavier than other materials like plastic. The bigscreen beyond is the currently lightest headset, but the only things in the headset are the displays, processing and tracking are outside of the headset and no passthrough cameras. So basically with current lens and display technology its still not possible to get glasses like formfactor in VR headsets, let alone with integrated cameras, processing, movable ipd, eye tracking, etc.
