@publicvoit Amazing you should say that right now, because I think I am going to do the same... but am chicken.... and am being pulled by the dark side of the force in the form of a fruit with a bite out of it and a famous evolution biologist ... arghhh ... nooooo
I was hoping this video would save my bacon in debian.....

@publicvoit I was so annoyed by this snap crap that I swapped to mint and then to nixOS and now I am gravitating to apple in the fall-out of the nixOS debacle but the resisting the force, and might take a pit-stop at debian... but my poor brain... and expect to crash land.

@publicvoit why do you need to get rid of NixOS?

Now that I have migrated some of my hosts to #NixOS, I do have a bad feeling because of #Microsoft and most probably GitHub being hacked.

As mentioned on https://www.karl-voit.at/2023/09/12/nix/ the deep #GitHub dependency turns out to be a real downer for this OS.

@publicvoit many years ago (the 90s) if you were online you assumed everything you said and did was getting scraped by the NSA/ Americans. I don't think much has changed. If you want to keep something private, try to keep it off the web.

It is safe to assume (big) nation states have access to everything, or if not, hoover up everything they can and will have access soon enough.

@publicvoit We really need an user-friendly alternative to #GitHub. Love seeing that both @forgejo and #GitLab work on ActivityPub support. Can't wait to try it out.

@publicvoit oh, #orgmode has lock-in. It's just you're locked in forever instead of until the service ends.

@publicvoit but obsidian isn’t lock in, it’s all just md, I’m using it and two other apps simultaneously on the same file set and it’s not a problem.

(Sure, there are js features that might not work everywhere, and I’m very conservative with them for that reason.)
