Equality is not fairness.

How can it be fair that someone with a low income pays the same amount of VAT as someone with a high income? One person is afraid to spend their monthly income because of rising prices, while the other doesn't even bother to ask about the price before buying.

The first one doesn't drive much because of minor traffic violations like veering off course or slightly exceeding the speed limit. The second driver gets three speeding tickets on his way to the airport because he doesn't care. How is that fair?

Fuck the system!

What stops the Nix repo maintainers from changing those hashes?

there is no nixpkgs maintainer, each package have its maintainers.

if you just changed the hash to an incorrect one, nix will show you an error and the package won't be built.

if you mean changing the source to a malicious source code, other maintainers or anyone else saw the incorrect source, they will report it and it will be fixed. You can also check the package source by running `nix-edit` command.

Also not any change on the packages will be chipped to the stable nixpkgs version, it chipped to the unstable first.

> Smarter DM Delivery: messages now route to the recipient's preferred relays, for those with custom relay setups

I disagree with the phrase "for those with custom relay setups". Sending events to the recipient's relays should be the default for every Nostr client, as specified in NIP-65. Nostr's decentralization relies on not centralizing around shared relays.

Thank you for the app. 🫡

Hash-verified means a known hash is compared to a computed hash. What is the source of the known hash?

> What is the source of the known hash?

The known hash is manually entered in the package's Nix file. When adding a new package, you specify its source (e.g., Git or crates.io) and initially leave the hash field empty. Nix will then download the source, compute its hash, and error because it doesn't match the empty value. You simply copy this computed hash from the error message into the file to finalize it.

Check the nixpkgs GitHub repo. Search for a program's package file to see its hash and the PR that updated it.
