 alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | i didnt get single-user mode working yet, the official nix documentation is very sparse and my homedir is a symlink to some container so it refuses to createa nix store without root | 15:19:20 |
 K900 | Also oh god linux-libre | 15:19:25 |
| K900 | Why would you ever | 15:19:28 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | oh yeah i meant it more in general that i wouldnt want to use a kernel built with gcc since i read blog posts about compiler horrors beyond my comprehension | 15:20:01 |
| K900 | Clang has plenty of those tbh | 15:20:14 |
| K900 | Rust is still finding new and exciting miscompilations in LLVM like every other week | 15:20:30 |
 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | https://pabloariasal.github.io/2022/11/12/couring-1/ ? | 15:20:34 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | i dont have a good enough reason, just because i can and was a bored 18 year old student | 15:20:35 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Does it though | 15:20:37 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | real | 15:20:47 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | my laptop needs proprietary intel drivers anyway for bluetooth & wifi | 15:21:07 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | why 😭 | 15:21:14 |
| K900 | What? | 15:21:30 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | there are apparently wifi cards that support open source drivers like athena or smth but i havent yet had the money to buy one | 15:21:31 |
| K900 | Does what though | 15:21:35 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | C++ coroutines | 15:21:49 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | in the kernel | 15:21:53 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | or idk what was that blog post about | 15:21:58 |
| K900 | No, that's for consuming io_uring in userspace | 15:22:22 |
| K900 | The kernel is all C, no ++ | 15:22:25 |
| K900 | No, open source firmware | 15:22:34 |
| K900 | Which is a whole other can of worms | 15:22:37 |
| K900 | There is no proprietary drivers in the mainline kernel, even by the GNU definition | 15:22:48 |
| alina arielle amelie🏳️⚧️🐾 | right | 15:22:56 |
| K900 | And getting open firmware on radio anything is absolute hell because you have to deal with regulation | 15:23:10 |
| K900 | And the only wifi card that has open firmware is ath9k, an 11n chip from the time 11n was relevant | 15:23:24 |
| K900 | And running said firmware is probably illegal in your jurisdiction | 15:23:34 |
| K900 | But also the FSF's entire stance on firmware is absolutely unhinged | 15:23:48 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | anyways, my HRT prescription arriving next week
kinda offtopic but Lix is basically the trans lesbian Nix soooo
| 15:23:46 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | ? | 15:23:48 |
