Github is deprecating "master" branches because of "racist connotations"

did they end their ICE contract
<Irenes[m]>
they did not, no. they still have that contract.
<DigitalKiwi>
oh so it's just performative bullshit?
<DigitalKiwi>
*surprise pikachu*
<DigitalKiwi>
why are we taught since childhood that words can't hurt us
<Irenes[m]>
I mean, the optimistic way to look at it would be that they feel pressure due to the ICE contract and they're doing this hoping to deflect attention
<Irenes[m]>
it's certainly a much smaller thing than cancelling the contract, but it is a concession
<Irenes[m]>
I don't blame you for questioning whether it's worthwhile though
<Irenes[m]>
I think it's good for the world when tech companies are feeling pressure to appear less overtly fascist, heh
<DigitalKiwi>
i get it when it's a dichotomy of master/slave ...but by itself :
<Irenes[m]>
I've been told by black activists I know and trust that it is meaningful to them. I definitely understand why it seems like a small thing, but I do take it seriously. That said, I'm not trying to convince you or anything, you're welcome to believe it's frivolous.
<DigitalKiwi>
and coming from github it just makes it almost... insulting? and kind of proves my theory that it's mostly (and reading the comments enforces it) white people trying to play savior and not actual BiPOC people that are upset
<Irenes[m]>
I'm sure it's not anybody's top issue, heh
<DigitalKiwi>
it's just...if all you do is change the words, and nothing else, nothing actually changes
<DigitalKiwi>
referential integrity and all that
<Irenes[m]>
I agree. It isn't going to change anything by itself. It only makes sense as part of a larger effort.

To say nothing of the value, just imagine all the pain it's gonna cause when you go to pull nixpkgs and you can't because master no longer exists
<cole-h>
I don't really mind either way, quite honestly. I just hope GH has some solution in mind for this (even if it's just a simple aliasing of master -> main)
<bqv>
And suddenly youll lose all your prejudiced views as you search for the new branch
<cole-h>
lol
<bqv>
I maintain that even on the scale of things that actually matter, this isn't a defining moment and nothing substantial will come of this. Except minor annoyances from things like this change...
<bqv>
I'm exceedingly cynical about the whole movement though
<cole-h>
RIP red-black trees.
<energizer>
git's master comes from bitkeepr's master/slave
<cole-h>
...kinda wish it was trunk instead of main though, quite honestly.

energizer: I got that scifi gpt2 model working locally.
<eyJhb>
I can see that the package does not allow for adding users, etc..
<srk>
what's the goal?
aranea has joined #nixos-chat
<eyJhb>
Being able to run e.g. firejail firefok
<eyJhb>
Being able to run e.g. firejail firefox
<srk>
that fails for me as well, maybe take a peak how the firejail.wrappedBinaries are implemented
<etu>
Since the linking of some of my blogposts here and there I spent some time this weekend to improve the color-theme on my website... Because it was horrible.
<etu>
gchristensen: I've used firefox devtools to check that after the second screenshot, so I've got at least 7 in contrast on all text both on the light and the dark theme.
<etu>
gchristensen: So the page is better than that second image :)
<__monty__>
etu: I think contrastchecker allows you to check for colorblind accessibility as well.
<__monty__>
Hmm, no, was another site.
<__monty__>
Sorry for assuming what was linked.
Jackneill has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<__monty__>
For the non-colorblind, sure. I think the red+green for example is hard to distinguish for the most common type of colorblindness.
<__monty__>
(This sort of accessibility stuff is just an obsession of mine, feel free to ignore.)
<sphalerite>
__monty__: yes it does, see the "About" page
<eyJhb>
srk: close to giving up on this, no clue what it wants
<etu>
__monty__: I don't think it matters too much, if both can be read, worst case it would be a weird syntax highlight of the code
<srk>
eyJhb: do you have programs.firejail.enable = true; set?
<sphalerite>
etu: well, no, worst case is that parts of the code are invisible to people with some form of colour blindness even though fully sighted people can see it.
<sphalerite>
(or that nobody can see it)
<srk>
eyJhb: looks like that creates the security wrapper for it (e.g. I can run firejail top but firefox is already wrapped so that's probably why it fails)
<eyJhb>
srk: that is my next move, that should work I guess
<__monty__>
sphalerite: That'd require a weird background color though. It's mostly relevant in figures, with colors as keys.
<etu>
sphalerite: Still an improvement from where nobody could read it without crying their eyes out :D
<__monty__>
For syntax highlighting it just makes things stand out less.
<__monty__>
But if your reasoning for using highlighting is "I want to make this more readable." Then you might also want to make it similarly more readable for the color blind.
<eyJhb>
Works now

I've been picking at the alias issue; a simple draft wasn't too hard but unfortunately testing it led me to a (hole? weakness? half-assedness? :D) in the parse/resolve model that is entailing a fairly decent rework
<abathur>
I'm finding our current moment has made it hard to focus on it, and almost every time I do find a few neurons ready to throw sparks, some other damn thing comes up
<gchristensen>
abathur: yeah no worries, but like, what do you think about what I wrote there?
cjpbirkbeck has joined #nixos-chat
<abathur>
xargs I'll need to think on a little; the bare minimum wouldn't be too bad as I already have separate handling for builtins that do similar, but handling the variable syntax and flags that commonly accompany it, the general point of a new affordance for <add extra handling for this arbitrary command> makes sense to me
<abathur>
not sure I follow what you mean about path, are you talking about resholved not resolving from path, or modifying the script to unset path at runtime?

At all related to the packet-vault plugin? ;)

TIL there's a `gpasswd`.

nix-community/impermanence#11 (by talyz, 2 days ago, open): home-manager: Bind mount directories instead of symlinking them
<lovesegfault>
talyz: Yep, going to today, I was waiting to get #3 landed as it allows me to use master again
<talyz>
lovesegfault: I looked at it briefly, but it doesn't really handle changing from generation to generation. I think we would need to go with an approach similar to what I've done for bind mounts in home-manager..
<talyz>
lovesegfault: Yeah. It will probably be simpler to do reliably in the nixos module, too, since it's not reliant on fuse..
* lovesegfault
nods
<talyz>
lovesegfault: If we don't do that, we're essentially going to have to reimplement the environment.etc or home.file module, which I'm not too keen on ;)
<lovesegfault>
Yeah, I don't want to do that either :P

Is HEY just email with a nicer UX?

I'd suggest watching the video -- he covers some of the "differences" from things like Gmail and Outlook's webapps
<__monty__>
I'm watching it but it's super slow and pretty boring tbh.
<gchristensen>
2x speed ftw

abathur: fwiw my resholved comments stem from wanting to toss resholveHook it to google-chrome-stable's derivation b/c right now it can't run with an empty PATH

It's not fast enough.

This is why I prefer text by such a large margin.
