  • Universal Android Debloater.

    It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

    I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

    Idk. With Arch I felt like I constantly had to be on top of things. With nix, everything is rock solid and stable, and if I want to change or add something, I do that, once, and then it’s also rock solid until all eternity and across all my machines.

    In total I might have spent more time interacting with nix already, but it feels less like “work” than with arch. Higher setup burden, almost zero maintenance burden and zero mental overhead.

    Happy holidays btw

    Edit: forgot to include the context. For the Thunderbird example, I have spent 1-2 hours once, 2 years ago, converting all the Thunderbird config options to nix, and adding my mail accounts through nix. I have not had to go into the Thunderbird settings since, and after doing a fresh install on a new machine, my accounts are already THERE on first boot. A lot of things are tedious in nix, but you do them ONCE.

    Nah, both ways are fine. The first one just installs the package, the second one enables the module, which installs the package + does a bunch of additional setup and gives you super convenient configuration options (like setting up mail accounts declaratively from nix)









  • Fair. Don’t take this as pressure to watch this. But for what it’s worth, “Harry Potter but horny” is exactly what I grew tired of after S1, and they drop that hook pretty thoroughly.

    S2-5 is more like “there’s no such thing as a chosen one. We’re all just fucked up in different ways, and the only way to get meaningful change done is if we try to be better, together - regardless of if we ever manage to grow past that damage”.

    Except Alice. Fuck Alice, she never not sucks.
