    German: Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid aka No Majority For Compassion (No Pity for the Majority)

    American: Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode

    Loved them in the 90s through early 2000s when I was in my teens. Including the extended family like PIG, En Esch, and Skold. Last decade and a half have been meh.

    Though I’m pretty sure everybody has fondness for the music they liked from teens through early 20s.


  • Others have posted similar topics, but when I was in college many years ago I remember writing a paper on language death and relating it to modern trends in religion.

    It was undergrad work and like 10 years ago, so take with a grain of salt when it comes to causation, but the correlation I found at the time echoes some of the other posters: a lack of perceived utility.

    Religion offers some nice perks as a social support system. Can you get those some place else? Different church? Something outside of religion? Mix of both?

    Some of the support systems may be irreplaceable. That is okay. We are adaptive creatures. Its scary, but maybe you will find some supports hindered personal growth or were not worth the trade off of being passive in the face of bigotry.

    You don’t need to decide everything all at once. Maybe there is a place to practice your faith with other like-minded individuals. Maybe you discover practicing a moral life doesn’t need to be coupled to faith. To believe or not believe doesn’t need to be decided at the same time as distancing yourself from hateful individuals.

    So I’ve only been using nix about a year and only used flakes. I use in two ways.

    First, I have my main nix flake. Most everything is controlled from that. It has several outputs from full blown nixos builds per host or some home manager builds for non-nixos systems.

    Third-party flakes I use as inputs to my own flake then use the override system to inject them into nixpkgs. Then I just install whatever like normal from nixpkgs. I can either override an existing pkg (neovim nightly replaces regular neovim for me), or you can just add as a new package to nixpkgs by using a different attribute name.

    Second way is for projects with their own repo. I’ll add a project flake that has a devshell with direnv so as soon as I enter that directory it sets up a sort of virtual environment just for that project. You can add outputs to it so others can use as a third-party flake.

    My main starting point was https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-config for this design.
