It was in a couple of videos, the one I can remember right now is https://youtu.be/lIFE7h3m40U?t=294 (it's especially funny because you could do this entire project on Linux in a few lines of udev and a trivial actkbd config)

The other video was on some other channel, I can't find it right now. I don't remember the exact quote but the gist was "Linux is not a serious or usable OS", he just dismissed it outright. I'm generally ok with people shitting on Linux, but I remember that was particularly annoying and dismissive of both developers and users, especially so since he's a techy person.

He might have changed his stance since, but I've not been keeping up so I don't know 🤷

Idunno, I unsubscribed many years ago after he kept on shitting on FOSS devs and shilling Windows despite the obvious enshittification. But the interface here looks like youtube, so my guess it's on there

To add to everything already said here, YouTube sometimes uses AI-based filters and/or compression, sometimes without creator's consent.

To be fair, any "elected" officials in capitalist countries don't hold much power to go against capitalists. Most things that Trump is doing benefit at least some major faction of the capitalist class. If he tried to nationalize Boeing or something, the next shooter wouldn't miss.

On the other hand, Mamdani is doing some good stuff here, and is probably annoying billionaires. I guess it's going to be tolerated as long as the damage to them is less than the damage which would be caused by removing him, and thus delegitimizing the remaining perceptions of democracy in the states

Start buying more solar panels and batteries instead of oil and gas. Even if China (or whoever else you're buying from) goes to shit at some point, those things will last you decades while you figure out what to do next. Fossil fuels can only be used once and you can't even stuff a single year's worth of them into reserves.

This isn't how anything ever works, especially with bigots.

Well, yes, it is. Kids who used calculators to cheat with basic arithmetic will often struggle with learning more advanced concepts later on because they didn't get a "feel" for numbers, and I strongly suspect the same will happen with kids who start using LLMs before they know how research works.

It is totally appropriate to use calculators when you can already have an intuition for small numbers, and in just the same way students should learn to use LLMs, but only when they already know how to write and think and research stuff. Curriculum needs to adapt to this quickly, otherwise we will end up with a generation that outsources all their thinking to techbros.

Ok, so the first two sound reasonable, but blabbering about "non-retroactivity" and being against reparations is fucking pathetic. Imagine taking that legal position during Nuremberg.

In school exams when they have access to AI? Sure. In actual real world afterwards? I doubt it.

If all you do during school is ask LLMs to do most of the work for you, all you'll know by the end is how to prompt LLMs. Which is not actually a difficult skill to learn, by design, so if you focus on it instead of everything else you'll lose out.

Hopefully the education system adapts and invents ways to meaningfully integrate AI into classwork while forcing students to learn to think for themselves still. Otherwise the next generations will be even more cooked than mine.

Ok, so the systemd change was acceptable (since it was optional), this is absolutely not. Fuck this shit. If it's coming to NixOS I'm going to do everything I can to stop it, and otherwise I'm keeping a Nixpkgs patch that reverts the commit
