schestowitz              <blockquote>Nov 21 08:17
schestowitz                <p>Guix is an advanced operating system. While you may be able to get some of these features through other tools, like Docker, filesystem snapshots, etc., they are not part of the core OS design and functionality.</p>Nov 21 08:17
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-boilingsteam.com | I Finished Witcher 3 Thanks to DXVK - Boiling SteamNov 21 08:17
schestowitz                <p>One immediate feature you’ll notice about Guix is that you don’t need root permissions to install or remove packages, only for system configuration. In other words, only for say updating the kernel, changing system services, adding users, or changing the boot configuration. These days I so rarely use sudo (or reboot) that I almost forgot my password!</p>Nov 21 08:17
schestowitz                <p>Other stand out features are easy development environments or isolated containers (like Docker, or even exporting a full Docker image), mixed versions of programs (different profiles or users can use different versions of the same program), transactional upgrades (either succeeds or does nothing), partial upgrades (just upgrade a program individually), roll backs to previous profiles for packages, easy package transformations, Nov 21 08:17

schestowitz              <blockquote>Nov 21 08:19
schestowitz                <p>Mastodon vs Twitter. The public loves to put a VS between entities, as if things are always in opposition to each other’s. At Boiling Steam, we use both, or rather, I use both since I am responsible for the communications on such networks. I am not going to go in a lengthy rant about why Twitter sucks in multiple ways, but if you were to make a short list:</p>Nov 21 08:19
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-boilingsteam.com | Mastodon VS Twitter - Boiling SteamNov 21 08:19
schestowitz                <p>Twitter is well known to censor certain opinions.</p>Nov 21 08:19
schestowitz                <p>Twitter does not apply clear policies across the board. What seems OK for someone else may not be OK for you.</p>Nov 21 08:19
schestowitz                <p>Twitter uses tricks like shadowbanning, and directly influences what things trend over others.</p>Nov 21 08:20
schestowitz                <p>Where there is a concentration of power, these things are bound to happen. But today, I am more interested in the actual user experience, especially when it comes to a publication like us.</p></blockquote></li>Nov 21 08:20
