• It may be initially inconvenient, but you can choose a bank that offers 2FA/TAN beyond the smartphone app.

  Not sure what healthcare apps you mean. There’s lots of categories, so won’t comment without clarification.

  Same for employers tbh. Would love an example. (Besides: work apps can’t be forced on your private phone in most places.)

  I live in “modern society” and do own a smartphone, but I’m aware that it’s a convenience, not a necessity.

• I have multiple young-ish (30s) friends that don’t own a phone (not just smartphone; any phone), and basically all people I know above 80 years don’t own one either.

  You can absolutely live a perfectly fine and good life without a smartphone. You’re just drawing the line where it’s convenient for you.

  Or let’s put it in more familiar words…

  [Owning a smartphone] is not “participating in society”, this is participating in, contributing to, and directly benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about.

• Yeah. Honestly it might be a good idea to start a community project that’s a “nix2everyDistro”, and then go around and open PRs on FOSS projects to wire their project up to build in nix + output “every distro”

• Yeah. It’s fantastic. Only thing I wish for is federation, and better project boards, but oh well.

  For my “important” stuff, I still push-mirror to Github though… Should probably change that to Codeberg.

• Yeah, that’s my point. I never got around to putting things in Debian repos or the AUR because shit seemed unnecessarily complicated. Now on NixOS, I happily help maintain a bunch of packages and modules. Because the packaging, build system, and OS are just sane, stable, and a joy to work with!

• Sorry, but calling the dumping ground for obsolete and outdated packages an “OS” goes a little too far in my opinion.

  “Smaller userbase yet more stable and more and better maintained packages” is not the insult you thought it was, I’m afraid…

  (/s, just in case, hope this is all still in good fun!)

• I don’t how hoch you managed to accidentally type “Debian” while you were obviously trying to type NixOS.
