steersman2484,

Just use any distro you like and install the packages you need. Done.

can nix for gaming pirates lead to easy piracy

nix allows for flakes which are 100% reproducible (ie. you copy paste a flake it would do the intended stuff only) , this make me realize that now we can have flakes for games like do you want inscryption , sure add this flake and this would install all dependencies and lutris etc. and you just have to link us to the...

steersman2484,

Nix is a functional programming language / package manager, which allows you to build software reproducible.

For example, one developer has version 1.1 of a dependency installed and a second developer has version 1.2 of the same dependency installed. Both build the software from source and get a different result.

This can lead to “but it works on my machine” bugs. Nix mitigates this and ensures that all devs have the exact same versions and the build process produces the same output.

In theory these kind of bugs can now only happen because of hardware fault.

For game piracy this should streamline the installation process. You can just run one command and the game works and you don’t have to tinker around to find out why it does not work for you.

Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals?

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Use libgen

Edit: you can also check the FMHY Wiki for sources.

Are libreddit frontends for reddit already non functional?

I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit...
