@cwebber whooot? :‘-{

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@gwenthefops @cwebber i was about to say

[ensoyote@furry.engineer]

@cwebber one positive thing about getting a Mac as a work laptop is that I can now give Guix a proper try on my ThinkPad without losing my only machine

[bclindner@mas.to]

@cwebber you'll notice about everything Red Hat touches is compromised in this regard!

[skyfaller@jawns.club]

@cwebber Will GNU Guix be able to keep LLMs out of Shepherd and Hurd? I'm also worried about the Linux kernel potentially slopifying.

[cwebber@social.coop]

@skyfaller Linux already is slopifying

[lhp@mastodon.social]

@cwebber ugh, whyyy. The only init I can stand to use long term

[driusan@doomscroller.social]

@cwebber@social.coop That seems pretty on-brand for systemd.

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@cwebber I'm more of an OpenRC or dinit kind of Owlbear personally. Also, Guix doesn't support NY laptop's hardware (imma be a lot more careful about my next laptop…)

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@cwebber well, I was gonna abandon systemd anyway. But gods damn it, I just got my modded-to-hell Skyrim working. The Owlbear is finishing a play through first…

[skyfaller@jawns.club]

@cwebber Regardless of how quickly the Linux kernel is slopifying (you probably know better than I do), it doesn't really matter if the alternatives are not able to draw hard lines and keep the slop out; they'll just slopify slightly slower. Is Guix up to the task? Will there be alternatives, or will every option be slop?

I just haven't seen an LLM policy yet from Guix and it's making me nervous.

@cwebber and if that wasn't enough...
