Making friends, you say?

Maybe it's neuropathy? Maybe it's Maybelline?

Fun English facts: "apron" used to be "napron", but "a napron" was eventually incorrectly split into "an apron". Same with "adder" which used to be "naddre", and "umpire" which was "noumpere"

She does have a bit of the 'ol Hapsburg Jaw going on

Bruton's engineering oddities are terrific. It's just so nice to see someone building "utterly bonkers but wonderfully cool" things just 'cause

That does sound like a reasonable ask.

What are the upsides of Guix – in your view, anyhow – that make people be OK with downsides like this? I mean, this does seem like a fairly major downside, so there's go to be fairly major upsides too, or at least I'd assume so

It’s a weird hill to die on

But at least they're dead

And at least there's now one(ish) standard instead of N+1

As someone who doesn't use Guix, reading this made me wonder why a "consumer" (ie. not someone running eg. corporate infrastructure or whatever) would want to use it, if something as seemingly trivial as this requires that much work.

What I mean is that I'm obviously just missing something, since there's got to be upsides to the system that make cases like this worth it.

Anybody feel like educating a dunce?
