UPDATE: We now have a forum https://forum.aux.computer/ I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up. https://aux.computer/

I just saw the news of the soft fork announcement over on the IceShrimp instance and thought I should share here

    @onlinepersona @recursive_recursion I don’t think we need to spend time bikeshedding the name. As for the reasons I chose it:

    - it is short
    - similar to nix
    - is short for “auxiliary” which can be used to mean “another”, “additional”, “secondary”, “separate”; so it being a separate nix ecosystem lines up
