Dammit, this is why nobody uses NixOS. Nothing works on it!

The copyFail didn't, the dirtyfrag doesn't.

This copfail2 does modify /etc/passwd, but I can't `su - sick` as expected.

Don't install anything, use an LLM to write everything from scratch. It may have bugs, but no one will know how to exploit them, especially when closed source.

Code is cheap and is becoming cheaper by the day. We need new paradigms.

Fedora upgrades have usually been great, but I jumped the gun on Fedora 44. Sound completely dead with no Pipewire service available. ALSA not responding. Firefox dies immediately if I open a new tab or right click anywhere on the browser itself (inlcuding nightly builds). QEMU refuses to load. Maybe something got completely f'd in the upgrade process.. I never had an issue before having upgraded from Fedora 38 all the way to 43. I am too tired to investigate it all.

I know this is unrelated to the article, but related to the title.
