Simply because nix is a functional programing language, not just a data representation.

This is an example how to define plymouth with your own logo derivation. Isn't this the most beautiful?

  boot = {
    plymouth = {
      enable = true;
      theme = "breeze";
      logo = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
        name = "out.png";
        dontUnpack = true;
        src = pkgs.fetchurl {
          url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
          sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
        };
        nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [imagemagick];
        buildPhase = ''
          magick -background none -size 200x200 $src nix-snowflake-rainbow.png
        '';
        installPhase = ''
          install -Dm0644 nix-snowflake-rainbow.png $out
        '';
      };
    };

Wie auch sonst? Es gibt einfach im Moment noch keine OSS Infrastruktur - noch nicht mal Geräte. Wenn Wero jetzt direkt mit den Banking Apps redet, ist das immer noch um Längen besser, als das über Drittfirmen (in den USA) abzuwickeln. Das Gute ist: Das funktioniert auch sobald Wero und deine Banking app auf deinem Linux Phone laufen.

Gibt es eine Übersicht, welche Banking Apps auf LineageOS laufen? Mit Postbank und Commerzbank habe ich keine Probleme.

Hier muss aber noch mal klar unterschieden werden: Was die Mehrheit will (Wurst und Verbrenner) und was notwendig ist (Faires Steuersystem zum Ausgleich der sozialen Ungerechtigkeiten, Grundeinkommen, Klimaschutz).

How do you even compete with a snowflake made of lambdas? NixOS could be your final distro.

Sorry, I have to rant here: Is US American left stupid? Your civil rights are being demolished, your friends, colleagues, comrades are being detained and deported, social services are being dismantled and your fragile democracy is being replaced by dictatorship - but your take is that under Harris Palestinians would have been killed as well. Same difference? You can not tell me with a straight face that the fate of Palestinians would be the same under Trump and Harris.

On the other hand this might just be a coping mechanism: you could have prevented Trump but now have to live with your decision and the reality that he didn't stop the wars he promised...

Or you could use nixpkgs. You can search if the package exists online or via cli.

Many tech-savvy people just haven’t made the switch to Linux - often out of convenience rather than capability. Focusing on broader adoption first could make it easier to introduce Linux to less technical users later.

It was so hard to prevent him from getting the votes he needed to win. Now everyone else has to pay the price and deal with the consequences of your decision while you sit at home and can say: aT leAst i dIdn'T VotE FOr faCisT dEmoCrats! Good job...

This is so surreal: She just gets up and keeps walking, while the driver - who was either drunk or just distracted - tries to blame her for the whole thing.

I would like to see a followup on this story where the driver faces legal consequences.

Stupidity is a mystery. No one has ever observed it or heard it or felt it. We can see and hear and feel only what stupidity does. We know it makes people say strange things, make poor decisions, and ignore obvious facts. But we cannot say what stupidity is like.

We cannot even say where stupidity comes from. Some say it might stem from ignorance or misinformation. Others think that social influences or emotional bias produce some of it. All everyone knows is that stupidity seems to be everywhere and that there are many ways for it to surface.
