A user had an install, uninstalled it via the instructions, and found their nix broken. The issue was based around nix-daemon already running. I tried to be very smart around searching their launchctl files: $ grep -ri nix-daemon ~/Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchDaemons /System/Library/LaunchAgents /System/Library/LaunchDaemons but then couldn't figure out how to write out (nicely) commands for uninstalling or unloading them based on their name, and also couching the instrunctions in a bit of doubt so we don't piss off some poor mac admin because their users just deleted some important launchd files.
