  • Basically the idea is to separate your system packages and your applications.

    The system packages are installed and updated “atomically” i.e. in transactions. If a transaction fails, results in a broken system, or you just don’t like it, you can rollback anytime.

    Applications on the other hand are usually installed in a containerized form. Basically, flatpak. You should avoid installing applications through the system package manager.

    CLI apps is where it all gets interesting, and usually people use distrobox, docker/podman or toolbx to run stuff in containers. Although the universal blue project comes with brew prepackaged for when you want CLI apps installed system-wide without juggling containers.

    The benefit is that your OS and your apps are separate. No dependencies breaking or conflicting. And if something does break, well just roll back.




  • They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don’t care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I’d say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can’t print money, that’s basically self-imposed austerity.

    if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There’s no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

    Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.
