Inspiring & humbling article by fellow hacker Marius Bakke on what #Guix hacking means to them.
A good illustration of #FreeSoftware being not just about software.

We’re a bit more than one month away from the #Guix 🎂 conference in Paris! I’m already excited about the program and I hope many folks will join, be they of the #research type, #FreeSoftware enthusiasts, or die-hard Guix hackers. Check it out! @civodul Gday Or is it actual based and stripped out the subverted corporation creepwere Tom Lord passed away. He started Guile and GNU arch (tla), probably the first free distributed version control system. “Is reproducibility practical?” 👇 This new post asks whether reproducible deployment is a luxury for “professionals”, clarifies what #reproducibility means and how it affects #research practices. @civodul

You too can help #Guix speaks your native language: New #Guix REPL commands & accompanying documentation, for happy Scheme hacking! The person who was setting up a conference session to discuss #Linux maintainer overwork and ways to address it couldn’t attend due to… burnout: I can very much relate to the account of what their daily life looks like. “Supply Chain Security and Tar”: A “malicious actor [can] create a single tar archive which leads to different file outputs based on the implementation in use.” |
@mray I don’t think there’s any such thing as a “GUI user”. A “non-coding” person can use the CLI, too; I encourage you to give it a try.
GUIs have lots of qualities—they help discover features and get started quickly. But here the project is also about helping users emancipate and become autonomous; GUIs all too often work against that.
