 ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | it's a discussion about what to do right now | 03:13:17 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | which doesn't mean "rethinking flakes" or changing the implementation | 03:13:29 |

A plugin system for nix would be nice. nobody needs a plugin system. flakes can be implemented in pure nix at least as a proof of concept, and it would've been easier to hack on the implementation then | 03:14:14 |

I would be suffering if they where removed tomorrow sorry you rely so much on an unstable hotly contested feature that should've never been implemented in the first place. | 03:15:07 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | :/ | 03:15:11 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | :/ | 03:15:20 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | You see the problem 😄 | 03:15:35 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i see the problem is people started relying on an unstable feature and now view it as vital to the ecosystem | 03:16:19 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | So what can we do right now? | 03:16:27 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | what the hell does "unstable" mean | 03:16:29 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | right now? | 03:16:32 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | we can remove flakes | 03:16:34 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | just get rid of it | 03:16:44 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I guess pushing the URF (outside of an RFC) is not a bad option, especially the Super Stupid Flakes aspect of it | 03:16:57 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | In reply to @kity:kity.wtf
just get rid of it We caan't do that pareto-efficiently | 03:17:11 |

just get rid of it * We can't do that pareto-efficiently | 03:17:24 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i see the URF as more bikeshedding on what flakes should be instead of what they shouldn't be (in nix) | 03:17:52 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | it's not a serious proposal for how to move forward | 03:18:21 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | it doesn't get anything done, it just proposes more options | 03:18:44 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | and what we need is not more options | 03:18:49 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | we need to make something happen | 03:18:55 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | In reply to @kity:kity.wtf
we need to make something happen Can you code C++? | 03:19:27 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | I can't, and the URF is certainly not bikeshedding. | 03:19:54 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | no, and last time i tried hacking on nix it didn't work out | 03:20:02 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i'm not gonna be the one to remove it from nix | 03:20:13 |
