There's a name for it the phenomenon: the AI effect.

I did this as a kid at a place with cart corrals. Because, y'know, someone still needs to move them from the corrals to the front.

From one of the admins:

To the people who are like “What did you expect to happen when you picked a .af domain, are you idiots?”

Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains) We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this

I’ve been signalling the probable demise of queer.af to my followers for the past year. We knew the end was coming; we just anticipated it to take a little longer

So long; it was fun while it lasted.

Damn, I haven't thought of those commercials in ages. What a throwback!

It's convenient. Can't hurt to get used to it, for sure, in that it's useful to not have to go through dependency hell installing things sometimes. It's based on kernel features I don't see Linus pulling out, so I think you'll only see it more.

As someone who runs nix-only at home, I mostly use its underlying tech in the form of snaps/flatpaks, though. I use docker itself at work constantly, but at home, snaps/flatpaks tend to do the "minimize thinking about dependencies and building" bit but in a workflow more convenient for desktop applications.
