nope… that’s just local.

in that regard every text editor or any software that just CRUDs files locally would be local-first and the term would be meaningless

local-first means that it does not need internet-access to work and use the app and synchronization comes later, when there’s time and internet access. please read up on this.

these are the guys who coined the term

edit: i originally wrote “local-first means that it does need internet-access to work and use the app…”, which is bullshit and also doesn’t make sense in the context. i added the “not” so it is clear.

If you have to use a third party app to sync, it’s not local-first, it’s just local.

this is the way

even on this joke list:

NixOS Erasure!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yes but also superior beings who cannot connect to their erstwhile siblings anymore

Meanwhile NixOS users

i mean maybe some distros will add something, i don’t know. and i don’t care because i don’t have to. shit like that is deinstalled faster than an llm can print an emdash.

i use nix so i’m of the chart! did not have a system break in a year even when on unstable

ok call me “no one” then, you someone

where’s nixos on the graph?

I have to say the immutability isn’t what got me. It’s that i can propagate changes to all my machines (i have three, with different configurations of work and private users) without fuss. i have one git repo that contains the Config and all i do is git pull && sudo nixos-rebuild switch after i login and it’s done. reinstalling is also somewhat trivial and once the installer is done everything is as i want it to be. which is just bonkers to me. i love it to bits. before i had a super brittle system of dotfiles that regularly broke. nevermore

rebooted, restored, invincible!

There are no dotfiles! There is only the Config!

Excuse me sir or madam, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior NixOS?

i feel attacked! i’m neither feline nor trans and still

• Jinjer
• Ithaca
• The Anchor

AnyType is source available not open source, therefore not FOSS

and Logseq has a paid sync service

NixOS is completely plant based

absolutely not. look at nixos.
