overview for Dehydrated

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Nix and NixOS and one of the reasons I installed it is because I know there's some way to install the KDE 6 Beta before the official stable release. I wanted to use the kde2nix overlay, but appearantely KDE 6 has been merged into the official nixpkgs repository. How do I switch from Plasma 5 to 6? I'm already on the unstable channel if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

Fedora members plan on creating a Cosmic Desktop Spin by Dehydrated in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This would be awesome. Fedora has really been one of the best distros lately, hopefully they don't get fucked by Red Hat in the future.

They probably sent the threats themselves to justify banning Proton Mail, because they want to destroy privacy and encryption.

Why pay for an OpenAI subscription? by Dehydrated in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

They probably wanted to save money on support staff, now they will get a massive OpenAI bill instead lol. I find this hilarious.

Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration by Dehydrated in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

Still a ridiculous move. If I buy an appliance, I pay for it and I own it. I am allowed to do with it whatever I want. If I want to use my own solution for controlling it, hosted on my own server, I should have every right to do so. Fuck corporations and their shitty cloud solutions.

Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice by Dehydrated in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah they have no legal basis for their ridiculous claims and demands. This company is just full of shit.

Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service by Dehydrated in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 86 points 8 months ago

What part of Windows (or Microsoft software in general) is not a data collection service?

What are some interesting devices powered by Linux? by Dehydrated in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 82 points 8 months ago

All 3 billion Android devices in the world. It's pretty crazy when you think about it. Also 96% of the top 1 million web servers and all of the 500 fastest super computers (excluding quantum) in the world.

No, absolutely not. Security through obscurity hasn't worked for decades.
