Exactly my point. You can already do it with direnv, have guix shell once you cd into dir and then just do `jekyll build`.

> for example allowing to specify environment variables in manifest.scm files.

There is already .envrc or .dir-locals.el? And manifest is just - well - manifest. By definition it has to be 'plain'. I mean, there are already a million ways to load env vars so why'd you want guix to do that too and from manifest.scm of all places?

... say what?

As a senior who can barely differentiate between cpu and a monitor, I'm sure you would.

Yeah, I get it. ProtonMail bad. I'm glad that your Gmails and Outlooks still work. Thumbs up. I'm also glad you've created this account just to reply to me, really honored.

Trying to contact support? Their response? Ultimately figuring out the real reason? When faced with an issue I usually try to figure it out first. After all, accounts can get flagged wrongly on outlook, gmail and other services as well. And the linked reddit thread does not relate to your case. To me, the very theory of account locked just because someone sends a spam email to said account is, honestly, ridiculous.

> They are by a long way the worst experience I ever had with a provider of any online service, so much so that I’ve since moved my own e-mail that was there back to outlook before some arbitrary spam caused the same thing to happen to me.

Well, I misunderstood you here. Wrongly assumed you meant it happened to you again.

The post you've linked doesn't say that it was some unknown/random reason just the fact that the person is locked out of the account, not that the account itself is locked, which may be for variety of reasons(losing 2FA, forgetting password, else?). It's more about that support is slow. The person reached out and the issue was eventually resolved.

- Big claims

- No details or evidence to back them

- Happened to you more than once

Sure. We'll just believe that ProtonMail locks accounts randomly, for no reason. Or was spam the reason? If that was true, everyone would be locked out because, well, everyone is getting spam.

It is all just Guix now. It's both package and systems manager.

Flatpak is not an OS. Weird question.

I'm using Guix for work, at home, my wife has Guix on her gaming laptop with nvidia card, playing games on steam. Nobody has any problems with enabling rpmfusion repo on Fedora, using aur on Arch, adding backports repo for kde or whatever on ubuntu. But as soon as it's nonguix channel it's suddenly a problem. Huh. It's literally just a channel and ultimately it is still same Guix.

"What's that? NONGUIX? Hell no, I ain't having Guix working on my hardware! I don't want a better experience using Guix! Not in a million years!" And then:

> Guix has truly noble goals (in classic GNU fashion) but they're ultimately misguided.

> Actually useless.

Which are really big claims with nothing to back them up.

> The standard encouraged response to "Hi I'm a new Guix user and I was wondering how I can run steam?" is roughly equivalent to "Go fuck yourself" and I'm just amazed by that.

Look, if you can't figure out how to `guix install flatpak' and then flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam, then... well, I've nothing to say actually.

It just means "I handle front and back end" and it's all typescript.
