    Lol… pet package? You act like these packages I’m referring to are ones that no one is using. These are highly popular packages where winget is getting updates way before Nix. Flathub is doing a better job at keeping packages updated in some instances. Something must be broken with the tool you mention if you think it is keeping packages updated.

      You claim you have a list of packages, but you’ve revealed none of them. This is somewhere between the angry politician waving a list of enemies and the dishonest teenager claiming to have a romantic partner in terms of convincing me. Look, you have the time to write something like fifty Lemmy comments per month; I think that you can write the twenty or thirty lines of Nix required to build your pet package. It’s a shitty carpenter who blames their power tools and a shitty scientist who makes empirical claims without evidence.

        What will it achieve to reveal them? Other users will notice too, it’s not like I’m the only one whose said this. Who cares if I convince you. Nix isn’t a power tool. It is a highly opinionated language that gimps the most basic package management tasks… It is basically a senseless markup language that requires package authors to resort to running unvetted shell scripts on users computers.

          I’m the only one talking to you. You’ve convinced nobody else that you’re even worth speaking to. Honestly, you sound like the weenie who tried to publish that bootlicking pro-military letter. Wanna go be the second person to sign it? You certainly aren’t doing anything worthwhile with your time here on Lemmy.

            I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe you should spend less time attacking people and more time learning how to build a website.
