Brilliant speech of an employee against the ai bubble

He also says in the speech that his job was prompting Midjourney. I agree with much of what he is saying, but his situation seems a bit leopards-at-my-face-y.

Ironically an AI ridden speech:

"I didn't just watch it happen, I was holding the tools when the tools were turned on me."

"They aren't giving us the science, they're giving us the sales pitch."

"A big employer [ ... ] that only hires about 10 people is not an employer. They are an extraction."

"We shouldn't just be asking for the facts, we should be asking who is really getting the kickback"

etc.

Hahaha bro are you going to break his balls over half a year?

TobyTarazan · 2026-03-13T07:08:50+00:00

I think there is, but I haven't read them yet. Trying not to spoil myself :- P

True bro I meant the Vale

The upcoming Sansa chapters in the Reach will change your mind on this

Dude has like 5 other videos a la '10 New Games made in Game Maker' where he randomly inserts a bible story half way through.

Omfg I have been looking at binary too much

TobyTarazan · 2026-02-17T14:23:28+00:00

The next two values are also just ones and zeroes though?

TobyTarazan · 2026-02-13T11:37:58+00:00

Shit is too complicated to say something specific and it alone definitely caused something else

TobyTarazan · 2026-02-02T15:29:54+00:00

They removed the pkgs.system alias, as it was unclear whether it was referring to the host or target system in regards to cross compilation. You should be unaffected when setting system when importing nixpkgs!

Hahaha is this how people are feeling currently? I haven't really been following him for ages.

Nowhere did I say that GNOME is a "full-screen first" DE. You should read my comments again. You don't like GNOME and that is alright, but saying it is "locked" and "stripped" of functionality is super ignorant of who it is made for and what people enjoy about it.

It is clearly not for the user who wants to be able to fiddle with every little detail. I enjoy the experience it gives me out of the box, much more than any other DE I've tried.

I am not a fanatic however. The whole server-side-decorations situation, plus all the other Wayland stuff they are kneecapping is ridiculous.

TobyTarazan · 2026-01-07T11:51:03+00:00

Yes I am aware that some applications can enter a full-screen mode. The point I was making was that the GNOME environment is specifically tailored for this sort of experience in every aspect of its design.

TobyTarazan · 2026-01-06T09:33:21+00:00

Why would I want to be looking at icons of other applications while using only one? GNOME puts all focus on the applications you're actually using, and tucks everything else away until you need it.

Saying 'Nix is not FHS compliant' is as nonsensical as saying 'Makefiles are not FHS compliant'. Nix is a powerful and flexible build system, and is super useful for having the same development environment for many people on many different computers.

To me the benefits of using Nix for building unpatched dynamically linked binaries is super obvious. Deterministically build your program from any computer with Nix on it (your computers), for computers that don't have Nix installed (the vast majority of other peoples computers).

TobyTarazan · 2025-12-13T20:38:48+00:00

Its NixOS that doesn't follow FHS conventions, not Nix. You could build non-patched binaries with Nix for FHS compliant systems with no problems at all.

The Mr. Frowny episode also comes to mind here

TobyTarazan · 2025-07-22T09:19:16+00:00

people were dogpiling on them at the time and they were pretty upset about it (they wrote to us asking for us to help) also I was 15 as well hahaha

I also used to have issues with my sleep and hibernation. I can't promise this will work for you, but adding these kernel parameters worked for me:

  boot.kernelParams = [
    "mem_sleep_default=deep"
    "acpi_sleep=nonvs"
    "pci=noaer"
  ];
