Full disclosure AI is used, but I keep all transparent. You can read through GitHub PR reviews I use Copilot to rubber duck with, and committed the No Banana prompt for the banner logo in case folks where curious. I've a disability that impairs my typing, partly the motivation behind developing this projects, so I also use LLM to grammatically correct and format my voice dictated commits and tickets.
Some poignant questions for these new platform requirements:
Pain... This too painful to be posted as just a meme...

Can you imagine the eye strain one would get programming on a translucent screen every day? One where your always having to keep your eyes focused on semi transparent text and graphical interfaces in the foreground, and not the distracting and ever changing background, continuously shifting in parallax as you adjust your head and viewing angle. Not having my display buttressed up against a wall, or having to deal with glare and screen reflections, or even low contrast monitors in general are all things I find infuriating already.
But I guess the Sci-Fi future of ergonomics is holograms. *You must have your migraines, and you must enjoy them.
Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they'd be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you've stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.
Yeah, I found the discussions on HN and the debates in the Google group mailing list ("Intent to Prototype: Web environment integrity API") much more interesting, but didn't hot link the latter in the OP post to limit brigading. Although that mail list archive is made publicly accessable.

Many users are mourning the shutdown. “r/ToR_Archive is my r/all,” wrote u/MostlyBlindGamer, who is also a mod on r/blind. “Transcriptions on r/ProgrammerHumor are how I senselessly stay connected to the memes around my work.” “r/worldnewsvideo and its community will miss you terribly… thank you for all you have done to bring Reddit to everyone,” wrote another user.

"The robotics community"

Yep, I've seen reporting of Navy's using them for controlling periscopes on submarines (now that most are drive by wire), or Air forces using them for piloting drones, as well as for teleoperated robotic thoracic surgeries.
The widespread user familiarity and benefits in transferable hand coordination skills with common gaming based HID economics is hard to refute. Although, I'm guessing the market for safety certified joysticks will uptick.
I only have 3 installs of NixOS already, two for work (a server and laptop), and a third for a personal use (desktop). I largely started out by copying a public config from the community. Now I just copy a few kilobytes between the three from time to time via git repo to keep all my kernels, kernel modules, patches, net config, package versions, and system users/groups permissions in sync via lock files. And my user dot files too, but you don't need nix for that last one.
If I have to do something multiple times, like copying a distro across even a few systems more than once, then I figured I'd just revision control it via lockfiles like any other software project.
That all said, NixOS is a hell of a rabbit hole; great for lazy admins and hobby tinkering alike:
