I really enjoy the sense of power I get from telling companies to fuck off into oblivion when they show/send me simping "are you sure you want to cancel your subscription?" messages. Yes, I have never been more sure of anything in my life. Thank you for letting me self actualize.

New blog post about a @flox.dev feature I worked on that I've wanted since I joined the company two years ago: tinkering.xyz/flox-composi... This feature lets you compose developer environments, or prepare distinct, building-block envs and combine them for new projects. It's *so cool*. #Nix
