I agree! I was certainly starting to look into forks or other alternatives, but it was “settled”. Eelco stepped down and a constitutional assembly was created to develop a governance structure.

The Nix ecosystem would have to fall apart.
I considered doing this a few months ago. I ultimately decided that for my use, it’s easy enough to just memorize the road network in my city, so I did that instead. This was the navigation software I was planning to use: https://github.com/navit-gps/navit

lol sure
for a more low-level discussion for fundamentals, Ben Eater has 5 videos going over PS/2 keyboards and then USB keyboards. Here is the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aXbh9VUB3U
It’s becoming more common, but it mostly comes down to available tooling. At this point all three of the big game engines have a Vulkan backend available, but that’s a fairly recent development. And if a developer isn’t using a game engine, writing their own openGL renderer is easy, and writing a Vulkan renderer is a nightmare.
Its 4 EUR per 3 months or 11 EUR per year
with that being the case, correct me if I’m wrong, but your pitch is that users should trust your manually compiled and maintained commands to install things because you’re guaranteeing that the binaries being installed by your commands are from official sources, and that is better (in at least some cases) than cached binaries from something like nixpkgs, where the trust we are asked to give is that the cache is built correctly from source.
right, that’s what nix does if you build from source
Genuine question: Why would I use this as opposed to Nix? Between nixpkgs and the NUR, there are an insane amount of packages available, and you can build everything from source if you wish.
I use the floccus extension with Nextcloud as a backend for bookmarks/tabs and wallabag for read-it-later

To be a bit more charitable, my reading of this article was not that Markdown is being mistaken for something like Word or TeX, but that Word is being mistaken as necessary or even desired for a lot of what it’s used for when basic markup will do the job just fine.
I put all my apps on my home screen and I keep all non-FOSS apps in a single folder as a reminder to find replacements. The vast majority of my apps are FOSS at this point.
I have a Google account that I created with a throwaway non-gmail email account. I don’t use the email or the Google account for anything else. I then sync my required Google calendars to that (my partner still uses Google, so does my union and my work), and I sync that account to my phone with DAVx5 and to my computers with vdirsyncer (eventually pimsync, when it makes it to nix home-manager) by setting up Google CalDAV API credentials as explained here.
I have to use a local calendar app on each device to see my Google calendar with my NextCloud calendars, but it’s the best that’s possible, I think.
