Honestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested

Thanks, that might be helpful. Is this bug related to VirtualBox installation or Raspberry Pi?

Have you reported this bug somewhere? It might be a good idea to let nixos team know this problem occurs

It is literally an algorytm made to hallucinate. The fact that it outputs accurate facts is more of a side effect.

For now I use Mint + etckeeper + Timeshift as a form of backup, but I have never had a courage nor need to “try it” and actually restore state 😆

My dream is to have entire operating system state stored as configuration, tracked by a git repo. To be able to know exactly what changed when, to revert back to whatever state I want and quickly copy setup from one device to another. So naturally NixOS caught my attention. I tried it before, once on Virtual Box VM and once on Raspberry Pi and I failed with installation of it on both of them, my weekend was too short :D It was a few years ago, it might get better now.

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

A few things to point out:

• Microsoft created this extension and pays money to develop it
• Despite that, they give it to programmers for free. It is still free of charge.
• They explicitly said that using it outside of their products is forbidden (according to article: at least 5 years ago), they just didn’t enforce it
• Someone (here: Cursor developers), despite that, used it in their products and started to make money from it

What exactly are you mad at? When will programming community finally understand that Microsoft is not a non-profit company and its primary purpose is to make money?

Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I’m used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D
