  • Its not helpful to discredit a technology by saying it helps generate porn/csam. This is just a cheap way to moralise the issue, which is used all the time e.g. to justify mass surveillance, shutting down any objections as supporting child abuse.

    AI should be opposed because it concentrates power in the hands of tech oligarchs.













  • I used to like the idea of nixos because it felt “tidy” to configure everything centrally. However that tidyness is achieved by adding an extra layer which just replicates the configuration options of every program. If there is a bug in that layer or something is just not implemented, either you have to learn the whole inernals of nixos and nixpkgs, for which there is no real documentation, or you have to resort to doing things imperatively again, which is hard because of the opacity of the generated system and also defeats the whole purpose. So basically, you are completely dependent on nixos developers for things you could have easily done yourself on arch.
