1Ding persists its settings to $HOME/.dingrc on startup, this sadly includes the path to the dictionary.
2On all other distributions, that would be /usr/share/dict/de-en.txt and would hardly ever change.
3On nixos, this will indeed change on ever update and would break it for all users.
4This just comments out the dictionary path in the .dingrc so the user can still set it if she wants to, but it will not affect normal operations.
