Men will literally burn down a rainforest to avoid giving an artist $20 to draw an image.

This is getting seriously ridiculous!

It is one thing that somebody doesn't WRITE their own papers, and another if they don't PROOF-READ their own papers – but a completely different thing altogether if the editors and reviewers don't read/see what's been written in a manuscript! Good lord!

macOS Sequoia release day is almost upon us, and that means all your Lix and Nix installations on macOS are going to break when you upgrade your OS. It causes the following error:

error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist

To repair this:

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- repair sequoia

To repair before upgrading, add `--move-existing-users` to the end of the command.

We have a wiki page with more links and details: https://wiki.lix.systems/link/81

An idea: a publishing platform for developers like DEV.to with ActivityPub enabled and much more Markdown extensions.

@jonn @yaeunerd So what do you think about signals? Where the dependencies don't need to be declared.

```tsx
useSignalEffect(() => {
// calling `.value` makes this effect run each time signal value changes
const value = signal.value;

// using `.peek()` allows getting signal value without subscribing effect to changes
const anotherValue = anotherSignal.peek();
});

console.log(value, anotherValue);
```

Even better: change in a signal does not necessary mean a render needs to occur.

Am seriously considering designing a new Rust-based VM language.

Hope to find something else to fixate on before there's any progress, otherwise who knows what can happen.

(no actual work, that's what)

Luckily, while I have extensive experience in thinking how a cool new language should work, I've never actually made any. Fingers crossed, I'll give up this time too.
