I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

So you have nothing to contribute. Why do you even want to make games then? What's the part of it that inspires you? For me, it's programming. For others, it's art, design, music, etc. If you have no interest in any of that, then gamedev is a terrible career move.

    Idk, I definitely have days where I'm highly productive for more than 4 hours, but I also have days where I work even longer and accomplish nothing. I don't think a number like that is particularly useful for anything, and only good for micromanagers who need to feel like they can hyper-optimize every single thing.

    Interruptions definitely fuck me up though, without fail. Maybe it's the type of work I tend to do, which generally requires me to keep a lot of context in mind. An analogy I've heard that I think works well: It's like fixing a car, but you have to disassemble the entire dashboard and steering column just to reach the part you need to work on. As you're doing that, someone asks you pick them up so now you have to reassemble everything to be able to drive the car to pick them up, and then disassemble it all again just to get back to work.

    I'm more curious to see if they're working with Palantir than Flock. There's already a lot of push back against Flock, and some places actively working to ban it. Palantir isn't in the spotlight as much, and without a doubt much worse.

    This is why nix is doomed to be a toy forever, because its user base consists of unhinged cheerleaders. Please do the following:

    1. Breathe in
    2. Count to 6
    3. Breathe out
    4. Count to 6
    5. Repeat until you stop seeing red

    Now, re-read the linked blog post and my comments, and try to understand the problem.

    On the one hand, I like that it's focused on the broader concept of trust instead of trying to be some kind of AI slop detector. Focusing specifically on AI invites obnoxious debates from the braindead AI bros, so this might make it easier to get adopted by avoiding politics altogether.

    ... But on the other hand, I could see this going horribly wrong and being abused to bully people. If it becomes common practice to inherit a vouch list from OSS projects, then upstream maintainers essentially become Reddit moderators; Omnipotent grease lords with the power to make anyone's life hell with a single commit.

    Well, you're clearly very passionate about nix, but all you've shown is how to install git in an isolated shell, which again isn't what I was asking.

    I don't have anything against nix, but it doesn't seem like the right solution to the particular problem that was presented.

    If your website doesn't work without javascript, then it will be permanently broken for me and many others who disable it by default for very valid reasons. The has been part of the web since at least forever, so if your website doesn't support that, it's because your web developer isn't very good.

    I guess you misunderstood my question, because that won't work. nix-shell -p git doesn't provide an isolated operating system. They only isolate programs and libraries. If your native git installation modified something in your home folder, those changes will still be visible inside a nix shell.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish in those other commands, as they just seem to print out git's dependencies?

    Also, I see you're actively editing your comment as I'm typing so sorry if you actually post the answer after I hit Reply.
