    Sometimes I start a project, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s a simple one, I won&amp;#39;t use {targets}&amp;quot;. Just a few days later, I wish I had -- every single time! Note to self: always use {targets}. #rstats

    I&amp;#39;d like a phone with free, ungoogled/unappled OS without having to root it. I need to run &amp;quot;Itsme&amp;quot; and other apps that don&amp;#39;t allow tinkering. I know Fairphone, it sounds like a good - albeit pricey - option, but are there any others? #mobile #ungoogled #floss

    Hungarian elections are in the news around the world. This is highly unusual, so here&amp;#39;s an informative video about the sad state of my homeland. Insane indeed. https://inv.nadeko.net/XTp45qKCYRw #hungary #politics #elections #russia

    The new F1 rules can&amp;#39;t be *that* bad when the world&amp;#39;s best drivers are giggling after the race, recounting their battles like a bunch of kids after a gokart race. It will be a different kind of racing, yes. But there must be a way to do it better than the others, and I&amp;#39;m sure these guys and teams will figure it out soon. #f1 #formula1

    Switching back to a traditional distro from NixOS is a weird experience. Like you&amp;#39;ve seen the light, and a green forest, and now you have to go back and live in the depths of a cold cave, with dim light filtering in from above (that would be the nix package manager). Context: I had to switch to another distro at work bcz of some compliance stuff. I had used Debian for more years than I like to admit, and it&amp;#39;s a good, solid distro.

So let&amp;#39;s hope it runs, but who knows what other package is not the right version. How did we use computers before nix? And why would anybody want to do this?...
