Nah that title already holds NixOS

Additionally to what the others already said:

LD50 and "bad for your health" are quite separate things.

Vitamin D for example has an LD50 of ~30mg per kg. So according to your logic, it's way unhealthier than aspartame (factor ~100). Though in reality you would die without vitamin D intake.

You can almost never say that something is not dangerous, unless it's practically mathematically proven...

This applies especially for food etc.

I think we have to be much more conservative with food and substances we put into it. A lot of (Meta-)meta-studies suggest, that processed food is a health risk.

And this may sound a little bit far-fetched, but I think a good amount of the idiocracy in (especially) the USA may be related to the food (as also a lot of studies have found connections to brain/psychological health).

Oh yeah, fuck those loud motorcycles (please just use an electric one, they are superior in almost every way by now (but cost...)). I don't get how these assholes enjoy annoying everyone around them, especially when driving through highly populated areas.

I think we reached a singularity here...

If you're up for it: NixOS!

It's quite a steep learning curve, but after some time (after you've configured your "dream-system") you don't want to go back/switch to any different distro.

Specifically servers IMHO are a great use-case for NixOS. It's usually simpler to configure than a desktop distro, and less of the usual pain points of "dirty" software (like hardcoded dynamic libraries, that exist on most systems (ubuntu as reference) at that path).

I've much less fear maintaining my servers with NixOS because of its declarative functional reproducability and "transactional" upgrade system, than previously (where I've used Debian mostly).

Hmm, to be fair, wir leben tatsächlich noch in einer Eiszeit (Vergletscherung ganzjährig, mindestens einer der Pole).

Aber ja, ich stimme zu, ich bin in den Kommentarsektionen nicht mehr gerne unterwegs (um nicht allmählich depressiv zu werden). Kognitive Dissonanz zum Klimawandel wurde und wird erstaunlich erfolgreich lobbyiert. Es ist echt schade, dass nicht viel mehr Menschen (der Mainstream) versuchen sich auf Basis anerkannter wissenschaftlicher Artikel ein Bild zu machen und vor allem entsprechend zu handeln (und sich stattdessen lieber von Politik und Konzernen einlullen lassen).

Well reddit is currently dropping the egg...

Yeah totally, the federated features and especially the search could be streamlined quite a bit. I think this should be a top priority currently (to avoid centralization of the instances).

I think he has a good point. I'm also more and more questioning my job, to the point that I reduced my my workload by 2.5x, to be able to focus on open source, although I'm now just earning enough to come around. But I'm learning much more, my skill has definitely increased in the last years in which I have focused on using the missing work time for developing open source. I'm having more fun with it: writing in the favorite language, actually relevant stuff, and if your open source contribution has actually a lot of feedback, and is (thankfully) used by a lot of people it certainly feels better than having finished a project in a corporate job. I think the QoL has certainly increased for me.

And I think these kind of people might be attracted to developing something like lemmy, and actually contributing something to society, the anarchistic thought of not being bound to these big centralized social media corporates (that produced quite a lot of bad press themselves the last few years...), and actually serve the community.
