For anyone worried about the Nix drama, a fork has already happened.

You can find it under lix.systems.

There’s been a couple forks but that’s not all. They are made votes to massively restructure their governance system. Things are looking up on the main nixos branch!

I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable learning NixOS since they accepted a sponsorship from Anduril until there was community backlash. Anduril performs violent border survailence for the US government and are responsible for a huge amount of death and suffering.

I don’t like Anduril either, but what’s wrong with taking their money and using it for good purpose?

I’m with you in some cases. Who you take money from is not the same as who you give money or support to, necessarily. I think the worry in this case is that it’s a surveillance company.

The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress

The original comic was very accurate

I have Dwarf Fortress on my wishlist and while it’s cheap to pick up…yeah that looks like X4 levels of complexity but in 2d. Not sure if I’ll ever be ready for that, haha.

As someone who loves it, It’s less a game and more a story generator. Until the company was hired to do the nicer graphics and interface for the Steam version it was a math PhD and his brother programming it as a work-in-progress complete fantasy world simulator. It still is but now it’s prettier. It feels very comfortable to call it the most complex game on Steam. Rimworld and Minecraft among others took direct inspiration from it, he’s been working on it awhile.

Famous patch notes include fixing cats dying from alcohol poisoning because they walked through a puddle of beer before cleaning themselves, egg yolk and egg white having different fluid densities, and nerfing mer-people farming because that’s just disturbing.

No, the black line is EVE Online. There could have been an edit replacing it with Dwarf Fortress, but the original is definitely about EVE Online.
