  • “Tautological denial of magic” seems like a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. If you know there’s something “magical” you still can study it’s effects on the real world.

    Like someone here already commented, this is what we do in case of medical studies, “how good does this thing work compared to something that gives the illusion of working”, the same can be done for whatever you define as your “magic”.




  • Thanks, I didn’t know about these two.

    It looks like ThemeNix can’t declaratively apply styles to Firefox and it’s module system is limited.

    Talking stylix

    base16.nix allows you to import colours from base16 into Nix code. Stylix takes this a step further:

    • Automatically colours and changes the font of apps Sets your wallpaper
    • Exports the colour scheme to be used manually for anything we missed
    • Can also generate themes based on an image

    Looks like stylix has a similar goal, but goes too far in my opinion. I will try it out and consider contacting the author about sharing some configs. Also doesn’t support accent color and supports different adapters than mine (doesn’t theme Firefox but has more other themes).









  • That’s not true and misleading. Docker and flatpak base images mostly contain shared libraries and even these get automatically deduplicated. Your flatpak calculator doesn’t ship systemd or any other init system nor does it ship system drivers lol

    And yeah if you are working in a restrained env and care about those few mbs taken by shared libraries then containarization is not for you.

    Containerization is not perfect and it will never be, but that was never the goal. Making apps and services independent of the base system and easily restrictable like mounting volumes, restricting network, etc… was.
