My predictions about threads:

FaceBook will fail to receive enough control over fediverse for time being, thanks to publicity their issues was given. They will probably be federated with some new instances, especially corporate-driven ones.

The thing they will or federating with mastodon social is good for reason you can contact person from threads by creating an account on mastosoc. It should only be used if you MUST interact with someone at a proprietary network and Threads is an option. Otherwise ask to make mastodon account

Seriously, I don't understand all people on the internet that say that they don't understand why NixOS isn't more popular. I personally like it, but I would not recommend it to person who already gets overwhelmed by Arch, for example.

On the other hand, people saying this may be using NixOS more as server os and development tool, and they talk about recognition in professional development community than just recognition from linux users as a general use OS.

I would recommend nixos to a server administrator or developer (reproducibility, declaring everything in one syntax and on one cluster of config files...), person who likes to experiment with configurations and software (rollback on an older versions and ability to use nix shell to test software), and other people who may like it's features enough to go through big amount of issues it has.

So, it seems my specialization of NixOS config with nvidia drivers enabled tries to disable itself on nixos-rebuild switch. Kinda makes sense how it works but it sucks if I want to, I don't know, install some games and don't want to reboot for that?

"Fix" is kinda there, either manual switching in some obscure part, of nixos-rebuild flag, but first didn't work for me for unknown reason and second is only in unstable (I'm currently feeling pretty content with versions stable channel of nixpkgs provides, so I didn't try switching)

Reasons to not federate with facebook’s Threads summarized trying to avoid dramatization:

- They are facebook
- They gather A TON of data about users and it seems to extend to federated content too.
- Their motives are unclear, and it really seems they go for Embrace Extend Extinguish here (once people will rely on Threads federation to talk with friends they will pull the plug and make you choose beetween losing communications or migrating on Threads, or they will blackmail admins to choose beetween losing federation with Threads or doing what they want, like ads)
- They seem to completely miss the point of community driven project, making meeting with big instances admins behind closed doors. (So there is no reasons to believe they are here because they care about fediverse)
- They prioritized alghorithm-driven feeds over supporting things like alt text. (so even less reason to believe they care for fediverse or it’s community)
- Federating with them may cause legal problems if server is based in EU or Ireland (Threads was not opened here because of EU privacy laws violation), or Russia (Facebook is considered extremist organization here, Threads was preemptively blocked by russian internet providers)
- They basically support some conservative political entities known even for direct harassment of people. Basically, this means they are already a contender for Fediblock just based on that fact, and a lot more deserved than a lot of instances that get here because of “federation with usual suspects”
- More generally, they are a big instance with lackluster moderation, probably worse than mastosoc
- They are absurdly big instance, small server federating with them will have a lot of technical issues. They won’t pay every server for that. (and even if they will, they will probably force some guidelines or even ads once most admins will start relying on that)
