i'm participating virtually from the train 😆 currently trying to figure out how to force logseq to evaluate on aarch64-linux, with this override that has worked on 24.05:

      (pkgs.logseq.overrideAttrs (_: {
          src = lib.mkForce repoFlake.inputs.logseq_0_10_9_aarch64_appimage;
          meta.platforms = lib.mkForce [ "aarch64-linux" ];
      }))
