That should have been impossible. It was protected. I thought they made it protected.

Can they save it? Keep all the pieces together, maybe they can save it.
There's nothing to save. Look for yourself. It's just ... gone. There's nothing left.

I think the conversation needs to change a bit. People just don't care in the current state. I've been toying with the idea of calling all this (seo/ads/blogspam/content marketing and the auto-twitter-bot-ira-shill-to-cause-controversy-and-mass-media-parroting-it-feedback-loop) "internet pollution" in order to get average joes to think about it differently.

Sometimes I leave random/joking comments around my code if I've been in a rabbit hole for a long time and end up with a preposterously simple and elegant solution. I erupted with laughter a couple days ago seeing "# i fink yo freaky and i like u a lot" in the middle of some brambles I was untying.

Be honest. You even said you were guilty. Are you going to lie if (read: WHEN) someone asks you the direct question, "have you had any felonies?"? If "they aren't allowed to use it" then why are you worrying?

Have you had to deal with breaking changes in the config language? (Does this ever happen? Are there versions/specs of the language that can be pinned?)

Yah, the more I think about it this is the biggest selling point to me.
>> Of course, you can use the nix package manager on any Linux distro and even macOS if you want a gentler introduction.
I actually never thought deeply into nix NOT on nixos (I've probably been conflating the two). As an infra/devops-y person I can think of a lot of cool use cases off the bat in the server-space (theoretically anyways, I've a feeling the details would be quite the devil). But, except for the case of developing for such a system, I'm struggling to see a use case that warrants it in the desktop realm. (I need to meditate on this one..!)

Re:Psilocybin Produced in Yeast

I do wonder what is lost, too. Some folks talk about "mushroom pills" (simply powdered, full spectrum mushrooms) and some talk about "psilocybin extract". It's my understanding that different psilocybe mushrooms species have different effects due to varying levels of not just psilocybin, but psilocin (psilocybin metabolizes to psilocin, but it is also in many species), baeocystin (mexicanas tend to be higher in this) and norbaeocystin.
