hexa | the community is progressive rather than conservative | 00:11:58 |
hexa | and is a result from the grievances that have been had with nix governance | 00:12:35 |
hexa | which was often perceived as not open to onboarding anything but dudes | 00:13:35 |
dr_teagle | this is why you shouldnt expose your gender/sex online imo. it is easier to work with when you are truly blind, and also make it impossible to know name, as names that "sound" like women cause the same biases. | 03:19:26 |
ivy | yeah sorry im a woman | 03:22:43 |
dr_teagle | ? | 03:23:02 |
ivy | yeah my point is my name is woman already and cant hide it | 03:24:52 |
ivy | unless i retuen to my old internet name auscyber | 03:25:06 |
dr_teagle | fair enough I feared you were doing some 5d chess guilt trip manuever | 03:25:48 |
ivy | no what | 03:26:12 |
ivy | what would fhat mean | 03:26:24 |
dr_teagle | I didnt know if you were saying "yeah sorry" to my suggestion, or to that you were a woman. if it was the later that would be kindof(?) a guilt-trip. | 03:27:55 |
dr_teagle | I do that strategy when hurt like "I am sorry that I am different" as a lash out | 03:28:17 |
lambda | In reply to @dr_teagle:matrix.org this is why you shouldnt expose your gender/sex online imo. it is easier to work with when you are truly blind, and also make it impossible to know name, as names that "sound" like women cause the same biases. counterpoint of this is why you should expose it to normalize woman being in the space because its its ambiguous people just assume its only men because thats how misogyny works | 03:28:18 |
lambda | * counterpoint of this is why you should expose it to normalize woman being in the space because if its ambiguous people just assume its only men because thats how misogyny works | 03:28:33 |
dr_teagle | ahh a fair point. | 03:28:48 |
dr_teagle | in the long term that is certainly better, but in the short term when misogyny still exists(to a non-negligible extent), is it not better to be assumed a man, and thus not discriminated against.(this isnt the most eloquently worded but Ill trust yall to get my meaning). especially in a field where (I think, as I am trying to do chemistry) you are less likely to be needed in person? | 03:31:58 |
dr_teagle | it is a question I think of are you willing to step out and be the victim of prejudice in hopes that it will change sometime in the future | 03:34:11 |
dr_teagle | but this is (I think) severly off topic for this room(?),channel(?) idk. | 03:37:49 |

mjm | lix is now in nixos-unstable, what's the best way to use it in a NixOS config? | 15:47:41 |
K900 | nix.package = pkgs.lix | 15:47:54 |
K900 | Probably | 15:47:58 |
K900 | Or just keep using the module | 15:48:02 |
puck | you can use nix.package = pkgs.lix; if you want; but using the overlay will guarantee more updates (tho less binary cache) | 15:48:44 |
mjm | well, the module/overlay doesn't easily support using the one from nixpkgs | 15:48:44 |
