I’m building multiple patchsets on a laptop. How tf do you expect millions of lines of even somewhat optimized code to compile in a minute or two? The configuration by itself wastes like half of that, not to mention nix taking 2 minutes to evaluate because specializations are slow af. It in fact takes more like 2-3 hours for them to finish.

I’m planning to, I’m waiting for the kernel to finish building rn lol

EDIT: PR got merged BTW (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/431115).

You’re supposed to be able to use lib.kernel.unset to unset them. In any case, that’s just one problem. The main issue is the entire option is ignored because of a typo in nixpkgs.

I’m gonna be honest, I use NixOS, but the docs fucking suck, and a number of things are just broken in nixpkgs. For instance, I recently discovered the structuredExtraConfig option for patching the kernel straight up does not work. This means you cannot unset any kernel options, which means some kernel patches won’t work unless you manually supply the entire kernel config.

EDIT: what’s even more annoying about it not working is that it fails to apply silently. In other words, your kernel tries to compile and then an hour later it fails because your config changes weren’t applied.

I don’t think that number is surprising. Living in China e.g. 40 years ago would have sucked, so as mentioned in the article you posted, living conditions have basically continuously improved for people. I expect that number will drop in the upcoming decades (although IDK to what extent). It’s worth noting the studies were basically pre-COVID.

Also, pointing out that China has other political parties is worthless since they basically can’t do anything.

I find it sort of amusing that your example for the UK is the Online Safety Act given that China has the GFW. Like, I find the Online Safety Act problematic (along with a number of other things the UK has done), but the scale is barely even comparable lol.

It takes 0 effort to find other sources if you actually try to look this sort of stuff up. I feel like you’ve basically decided the answer and are just looking for people to validate your opinion.

I mean tbf most of these Linux issues are pretty easy to fix/avoid.

This really doesn’t sound that off from something he’d do.

Gotta shove AI into everything to prevent the bubble from collapsing.
