A quotation from William Pitt

It is true, the bill is said to be founded on necessity; but what is this? Is it not necessity, which has always been the plea of every illegal exertion of power, or exercise of oppression? Is not necessity the pretence of every usurpation? Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

William Pitt (1759-1806) British Prime Minister (1804-06) [William Pitt the Younger]
Speech (1793-11-18), House of Commons, London

#Nix became an awesome ecosystem, it's not just one thing now. All the projects of it doing awesome things.
Scripts are imperative, Nix idea is like declarative and atomic in nature no midway script fails and undo problems etc.
If u wanna read about nix shells have a look at this, I made this for a workshop few weeks back. It's almost like blog, so u get everything from basics.

A quotation from William James

Without any exception known to me, militarist authors take a highly mystical view of their subject, and regard war as a biological or sociological necessity, uncontrolled by ordinary psychological checks or motives. When the time of development is ripe the war must come, reason or no reason, for the justifications pleaded are invariably fictions. War is, in short, a permanent human obligation.

William James (1842-1910) American psychologist and philosopher
Essay (1910-02), “The Moral Equivalent of War,” Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 77 (1910-10)

#Declarative #manifests are great. But when #people start #practicing the declarative #idea they'll #love it. Coz almost all #programs from #shells, #terminals, #programs have #configuration #files, whose #workflow is kind of, do changes and apply and repeat, that's all. That'll be a good #future #practice too.
#Imperative workflows are currently okayish for #GUI #applications, eg: changing a #setting in GUI and it'll store in declarative #manifest. That'll #help us all move forward.

@thelinuxcast All the best. Hope u start understanding the #declarative way of doing things in #NixOS with #Nix
Here's a tip:
Set users mutable to false. So that u declaratively do #everything in the #config #file instead of #imperative methods. Also give #hashed #passwords if u are #porting between another PCs and want them to #work similarly.
To put it simply, do everything in nix #configurations to change the #state of the #system.

An AI generated photo of a prick called Ronald Tramp looking like the true idiot he is with his head poking out of a huge Banana skin, while standing behind the desk of his office of residency! On the desk is also a bunch of bananas possibly related to members of congress trying to decipher the new dictionary being used in the new administration. Sounds Orwellian to me. #Resistance is #Imperative.
