Reduce, reuse, recycle.
But:
- In order to reduce, there need to be proper infrastructure to compensate for the thing being reduced;
- In order to reuse, things need to be durable and easily maintainable, modularly upgradable and repairable;
- If you go to the recycle step ignoring the first two, you've already lost.
As we see, just "changing consumer habits" doesn't work.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
In 2013, someone requested a guided/graphical installer for #NixOS for the first time. There have been at least 6 attempts so far that all failed. Now, 9 years later, we have finally merged an implementation based on the #Calamares framework. It will be part of the stable release at the end of this month and is already available in unstable.

occasional reminder that if you still want to follow your #twitter friends without having an account.
"nitter" is a program that parses twitter remotely, and it can turn user profiles into RSS feeds.
Tip for people seeing friends join counter.social -- it is not a good fediverse neighbor! Myself and a bunch of other admins blocked it a couple years ago because the people who were running it were unfriendly to the point of abusive!
They admit to some of this in their own FAQ: https://counter.social/faq.html
Get your friends on good servers. 💚
