But Wayland is a corporate grab, no paranoid here

Can you provide the source, please?

I can been wrong, but I think this AI trend is becoming something like a cult.

"Chrome's fault, not Wayland, because Wayland is the future of the Linux graphic stack."

This is what the kool kids will say.

New comment by inftech in "Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all, say economists"

inftech — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 22:59:59 +0000

I didn't read the article so I don't know what they are saying nor what data they are using to support their points but I think this is just a bif lie.

They are saying AI is not replacing jobs but every week we get news about companies cutting hundreds or thousands of jobs and replacing these jobs with AI, and other news about companies halting hiring because of AI, so how AI is not replacing jobs?

And then markets are flooded with new unemployed workers replaced by AI, and it's is well known inside the Economics and by common folks too that when markets have abundant labor wages go down. So how AI is not hurting wages?

New comment by inftech in "Show HN: Lux – A luxurious package manager for Lua"

inftech — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 15:33:22 +0000

A package manager written in Rust for a language designed to be embedded in C and which relies heavily on C libraries, and also configured in TOML when Lua itself was created to be used as a configuration language in C programs?

No, thanks.

Luarocks has its limits and probably should be rewritten, but using a language that fits the ecosystem and following the culture of the Lua ecosystem.

Rust and Cargo represent exactly the opposite of Lua.

It needs to be faster than light otherwise I won't switch the original sqlite for a VC backed alternative anytime soon

New comment by inftech in "The state of binary compatibility on Linux and how to address it"

inftech — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 10:47:32 +0000

I think the problem is that people treat Linux as OS instead of just a kernel.

You should assume every Linux distro is a different OS so when you are shipping your app for Linux you're actually shipping your app for Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu etc

New comment by inftech in "Stripe is stealing over $50k from me"

inftech — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:34:04 +0000

The reality is you allowed them to do this when you accepted their terms of services.

If you don't know, stripe and virtually all tech companies have TOS that allowed them to do pretty much everything they want and since a TOS is considered a contract, good luck in the court where you will have to explain to the judge why your are complaining about the consequences of the contract nobody forced you to sign.

Techno-fascism came, established itself, grabbed the power and the majority is still deciding if techno-fascism is a thing or not

New comment by inftech in "DOGE 'Audits': A Mask for Corruption, Not Efficiency"

inftech — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 19:33:23 +0000

I have a proposal to increase government efficiency both at short-term and long-term:

- gov must stop subsidizing corporations - gov must stop subsidizing rich people

Because if gov stop spending money with people and corporations that already have enough money to not need any help gov can spend the money with people who actually needs help.

20 years and counting, and it still sucks.

And people forget that this behavior of systemd devs is present in lots of other core projects of the Linux ecosystem.

Unfortunately this makes modern Linux not reliable.

inftech — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 19:40:49 +0000

Of course. In 10 years, AI fueled big tech will be ruling the world. They are not building something for profiting today. They are building world hegemony of tomorrow.

20% chance AI destroys humanity. 80% chance humanity uses AI to destroy itself. Let's do it anyway.
