    I recently discovered the joy of abstracting away time. I write a lot of software in Go for work. This library, https://github.com/benbjohnson/clock, provides a Clock interface that can be used for creating either clocks with the same interface as the standard "time" module, or to create a mock clock that increments to the next tick on any and all tickers defined in the app. It really makes unit tests go faster, though it can be tricky to get the code right.

    Now I'm getting a couple of actual build errors, which are on taffybars end (the issue on github: https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/issues/542 if anyone would like to fix it :P). I'll try installing the project from source instead and see where that takes me.

    You likely need to copy over the config file if you didn't do that already. Check the bottom of the github page. https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

    To be short as possible, you cannot use taffybar unless you use the nix pkg manager to install it. Anyway the guide is here: - https://hackage.haskell.org/package/taffybar - https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar
