  1. Being able afford a place to live is dead, being able to afford groceries for myself is dead. Job security is dead. Home ownership is dead. Having kids and a family is dead. Only debt lives on.

  4. Don't be naive. This is a political document, the creator has stated this and has used CoC's in the past to oust people for actions taken outside the project. It is vague and political in language and will be abused. There was literally nothing wrong with the CoC that was in place before this. Really disappointed that you are taking a holier than thou stance on something that clearly presents an issue for people who use Linux on a daily basis. I have unsubscribed. Thank you for all the great content from before this video.

  12. I honestly think about this a lot. I feel like I missed my window to be successful. I am older now, not quite 40 but not far away. The future seems hopeless. I don't find much joy in life anymore. The things I used to enjoy I no longer do. Life is an endless boring dystopia that doesn't want me in it anyway and the feeling is often mutual.

  14. The shift from programmer shortage to only needing a quarter of the ones already in the industry is going to give people whiplash.

  15. I think coders who aren't reliant on AI as a crutch will always be the better coders. Ultimately they will be the ones replacing all the devs who need AI to build a product. AI is a single point of failure and it won't end well. You should never remove humans from the decision making part of a job with computers. Replace a labor component, fine. But not decision making. We don't even know what the AI companies are using the data they are harvesting from users for. Think about that. My old ass will continue to code the old fashioned way. It's the only way it is enjoyable for me.

  19. Wow! Thank you for the shout out! Very kind of you! I am glad that Krita is working out for you, the program has come a long way and is definitely going to keep getting better. I am sorry that KDE didn't quite work out for you. Gnome is a solid DE and if it does the job for you then that is awesome.

  24. Worked at only one company as full stack web application developer for about 5 years. Trying to get a job now is just depressing. And the industry is now so AI focused on top of the job market being flooded with programmers from everywhere else, I just don't think I want to spend the rest of my life constantly earning new certs and learning new stacks. I think programming in the latest React stack is unenjoyable and makes the entire thing a drudgery. It has just become depressing and the future of this industry is AI prompting, that is just the reality. Get out and transfer the skills you have to something else while you can is my advice. For the average person programming as an above average career prospect is dead.

  32. AI has serious limitations. Three off the top of my head are 1) stealing work from other organizations that are not open source, 2) exposing your companies code base to AI is a terrible idea from a security standpoint and 3) you now have your business relying on a single point of failure outside of your control. Bonus one, people are going to troll the hell out of AI because it has no guile. It has no idea when someone is lying to it and it is easily tricked into spouting something incredibly wrong and worse it is incredibly confident in its wrong answer. AI will be looked back at being so over hyped. It is the new Y2K bug.

  33. You kinda had me until Systema lol ranking that above Boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, BJJ etc is just not supported by any kind of practical evidence. Haven't seen anything in Systema or Krav Maga that would give a solid college wrestler much trouble. JKD being ranked second was just hilarious.

  36. And by eliminating junior roles how will we get intermediate and senior devs. I like having juniors devs around because you can see them get better and grow and then they start to mentor the next group of juniors. You can't just eliminate the juniors.

  37. That last point is also wrong. In reality it will replace most programmers, it is currently replacing some programmers and most new grads/juniors. Businesses can't wait to reduce head count.

  47. The CoC is vague and doesn't outline clear offences. That is the exact problem. Nothing Damore did was 'stupid,' unless you consider having the chops to be a Google dev and having a fact based opinion (that his employer asked for) "stupid." He did what was normal for people in his department to do, upload his opinion to a chat that was used for exactly that. It wasn't 'generally frowned upon' as it is why the chat existed. He wasn't a political activist, he is a software engineer. His memo also got leaked and was a private communication within the department before that. He rather rightly criticized the vague and unsubstantiated policies of the company against facts. What about his memo was so "serious?" I am going to assume that you don't work in CS, have never worked for a Big4 and generally aren't accustomed to how idiotic in practice the CoC is when loons start using it to push their agenda. Google shouldn't even have a political opinions as a company. They should not have instigated the conversation in the first place. Their goal should be to make money for them and their shareholders, crush their competition and get better at what they do. In that order. Period. Thank god I work at a place now where that is literally all they are concerned with and don't preach down idiotic identity politics to us. The CoC is trash, written by a snowflake (who said it is a political document meant to push an identity politics agenda) and adopted by sensitive little snowflakes who can't hack it in a merit based environment.

  49. You are correct. And because of this it can be fooled because it doesn't actually understand the difference between bad code and good code. It can be trolled. And that is exactly what devs should unite and do to protect their livelihoods.

If you're going to be discriminated against anyway might as well just risk it in another country and potentially achieve more rewards.

  58. An economist should have a more accurate definition of capitalism.

  59. Canada is not a rich country of rich people. It is a poor country with a lot of debt and full of poor people with a lot debt. Immigration is also way out of hand considering the population size, poor economy, lack of housing and social services at breaking point. As the economy automates the rules of labour are being rewritten. Countries now and moving forward will require less human capital to achieve economic goals. This is not part of a natural economic cycle. People born in Canada should not be pushed out of their home country to make room for cheaper labour.

  61. Well both Microsoft and Google have fired people over stating facts that don't align with their ideology. Google in particular is extremely disturbing in how it deals internally with employees who have a free thought. Ask James Damore and the countless others who have to anonymously lament the "culture" of these companies. It is disturbing that it has been adopted by that many companies. You're naive if you thing there hasn't been any problem with it. There has been nothing but problems with it. A huge reason I left Ebay was shit like the CoC. Way to show up to the conversation two weeks late by the way. I can tell you're the type of person who is on top of everything lol

  62. But, you just said you can register with LLC in Montana, so obviously you don't have to pay tax. And paying tax isn't part of adulthood, it is part of a military industrial complex screwing you over on something that already had sales tax paid on it previously. Sorry, taxation at the end of the day IS theft. It isn't voluntary and unless you pay you will be dealt with violently.

  63. The best system of government would be the one that minimizes coercion. Socialism and communism, even in their 'pure' forms that people claim would 'work,' require not just the reworking of human nature but insane levels of coercion against regular people for its society to function. Whereas laissez faire capitalism requires the least amount of coercion on people and maximizes freedom.

  64. ***** Tax brackets punish people who work hard and are successful. Who is going to enforce this 'maximum wage?' And why should the people who don't innovate or improve themselves be owed a living by the rest of society? When did a minimum wage job become a career goal? Don't want your big, oppressive government telling me how much I am allowed to make, thanks. How are the wealthy being wealthy an 'expense' to their fellow citizens? There isn't a set amount of wealth that everybody can hoard. Wealth is created. People can innovate, start their own business, market a product/service and create wealth. The problem with the kind of oppressive socialism you're talking about is you eventually will run out of successful people's money to steal. Seriously, socialism has never worked. It isn't going to magically become an system of government that mathematically makes sense AND motivates people to succeed now. In a socialist world you describe I wouldn't bother running my own businesses and working 70+ hours a week, I would just take an easy job that pays a fat check at the tax payer's expense. Why would I have any motive to be successful if my 'success' is guaranteed in some bullshit high minimum wage government created make work job? Economic disaster with maximum wage caps. Disaster.

  68. It isn't anecdotal at all, it is evidenced not only in history but throughout the world today. You cannot integrate a group that has radically different core beliefs into a society peacefully. Those 'few generations' can be extremely bloody ones, as they were to Europeans during migration periods. It would be best to avoid that. The reality is the top ten most peaceful countries in the world have extremely low levels of cultural diversity: Iceland, Austria (pre-migrant crisis), New Zealand (essentially just natives and Europeans), Portugal, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Slovenia, Japan/Singapore (tie) and Canada (although this is changing rapidly as crime has trended up in Toronto and Vancouver.) When we look at the ten least peaceful countries we see tribal divides over ethnicity, culture and religion take their toll: Syria, South Sudan (constant strife between Dinka, Nuer, Bari, and Azande), Iraq (even before the Iraq War the oppression of the Kurds), Afghanistan (before the Russian invasion there was widespread conflict between the Pashtun and Tajik), Somalia (tribal conflicts and religious wars), Yemen (civil war over religion and tribalism), CAR (civil war between Seleka and government), Ukraine, Sudan (tribal, religion), Libya. Nowhere near the least peaceful countries are Russia and Brazil (despite the fact that Brazil is very diverse, Caucasian, African, Natives, Pardo etc.) so I don't know why you pointed to them as particularly violent. What we see as common threads throughout history to today is that migration and the melding of cultures breeds violence and conflict. This is avoidable by simply closing off borders to mass migration of undocumented people from cultures incompatible with liberal Western values. Either the liberal among us honestly look at the situation and admit the problem of mass migration into our society or we let the far right dominate the conversation and set the policy that will eventually deal with it. The path of least violence is the best and that is one of simply not allowing undocumented mass migration into Western society.

  72. You can't talk about the rebirth of your country while calling on a foreign god. I don't think I will ever understand why Europeans have such love for foreign gods and not their own rich religious tradition that was genocided nearly out of existence and which is happening again.

  75. This is voluntary and likely won't be adopted. What it does prove is if you're not a "home owner" also known as a debt slave, the government doesn't care about you at all. You're literally a second class citizen. And while services from Healthcare to education crumble tax payer dollars, including taxes paid by those who are not homeowners, go to help the "hole owner" class. It's a massive insult to responsible people who didn't take on an insane mortgage or bought property responsibly. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

  76. Your video subtitle hit the nail on the head for how I feel about it. It feel like a Mac OS clone and isn't flexible enough for my tastes. It feels like a closed ecosystem platform. I think there is definitely an audience for this kind of distro but it just isn't my cup of tea.

  78. None of this was told to you by Capitalism. The definition: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. There is nothing there telling you to not be in a union, there is nothing in capitalism telling you that you must buy a house. That is the entire point. It allows people the freedom to mutually exchange value. Hell, capitalism didn't even come up with the 40 hour work week. It wasn't until 1940 that the 40 hour work week was mandated by the government. Government mandates aren't capitalism. This video is ridiculous.

  79. If they want a disjointed mess of a code base, to rely on one point of failure (one human who could get sick, die etc and one AI service), have zero expertise outside of one dev and have their IT security be the equivalent of hanging their asses out a car window then yes, they can reduce their work force to 1 - 3 people. That and Chat GPT is terrible at anything intermediate and above. Good luck to the companies planning to do that. Hope they put that money they saved in salaries into a fund to pay ransom for their data.

  83. Nobody, including myself, promotes factory farming. Clean, healthy meat is fantastic for the body. Every explosive athlete has meat in their diet. Fats from animals are super important. Most of the vegan food is not healthy at all, mostly starch and sugar. Grains, which are the root cause of a number of health issues, are a huge part of vegan diets. With a heavily grain- and sugar-based diet, we are suffering increased rates of obesity, cancer, diabetes, joint inflammation, heart disease and osteoporosis. All B vitamins are found in greater concentration in meats than in plant sources, and vitamin B-12 can only be found in animal sources. Lack of B vitamins is proven to cause confusion, impaired senses, aggression, insomnia, weakness, dementia, and peripheral neuropathy. Our bodies are genetically programmed for consumption of meat. It is how we evolved over 2 million years. Do you research and don't be a reactionary extremist. There are tons of us sourcing ethical meat from real farms and hunting.

  87. Paganism must return, particularly Asatru . The reality is the only reason Christianity has "succeeded" at all was because it was blended with Paganism. But it is for sheep and by sheep, it is foreign in origin and doesn't have anything to offer the peoples are Europe. Asatru offers a path of heroism for the children of wolves rather than the path of subjugation for the children of sheep.

Quit complaining, accept you have to work really hard for everything including the basics like shelter and food because anything else is entitlement and of course pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

  98. The reality is "coding" isn't what a programmer does any more. You are a prompt engineer making CRUD apps in frameworks that are all the same. It is really soul crushing and makes the job feel so much worse. On top of that if you don't have a BA in Comp Sci you likely won't even get looked at for a majority of web dev jobs. The market is flooded with foreign and domestic CS degree holders who heard it was the next big thing and the AI resume screener will screen you out, even if you have experience, if you lack the specific degree. I was laid off of my dream job as a programmer about a year ago and have no intention to go back in the industry. I would rather any other IT job.

  99. I live in Canada and rarely use metric. It isn't all that practical for a lot of things to be honest.
    1
  100. ***** Well, for one the human body is not proportioned to ten. So for making a doorway 7 feet is standard here. Easier to measure than 2.1336 meters. The proportions of a hand built chair is easier when using feet and inches rather than a decimal point of a meter or a large number of centimeters. Rarely in nature is the rule of ten observed, but there are natural ratios such as Phi, or The Golden Ratio for which there are rulers. I've never built anything where using metric would be more convenient and even though Canada is a 'metric nation' I don't know of a single carpenter, cabinet maker or bespoke furniture builder who uses metric. I get why metric is good for some things but for the day to day measurement of building materials, liquids like beer and petrol and the measurement of speed and distance most people here still casually use Imperial. I personally find it much more natural to say I was racing my motorcycle at 100mph rather than 160.9 kph. It is annoying that some people feel that metric is somehow more accurate, which just isn't true. The main difference is with metric everything is divisible by ten and with Imperial it isn't. But that doesn't make Imperial inaccurate or mean that metric is superior for every application and vice versa. In my opinion Imperial isn't even complicated (unless you're an idiot.) There are good real world application reasons there are wet and dry units in Imperial for instance, which critics of that distinction claim there is no need for. So I don't get the world hate for Imperial. Is it just me or do people seem snobby about metric?

  101. 600795621 Sorry but not sorry :|

  102. ***** Well, that's my point. For a lot of day to day stuff metric isn't simpler, it is more complicated. Evidenced by the fact that Canada has been officially metric for decades but Imperial is still in very wide use. I can appreciate the things metric is good for, but it isn't the end all be all. It isn't about being accustomed to Imperial, it's about what is more practical to use for a given project.

  104. +rafi mommandi What fair share? lol the rich pay more tax than anybody. Tax should be a reasonable flat percentage, less than ten percent. No more unfair bracket tax scams. Smaller government, less taxes, more freedom. Take your big government and shove it. You want a big government, then you can pay for it. The 'rich' as self reliant and don't need shitty public healthcare.
    1
  105. ***** So it is okay to tax a wealthy person a greater percentage of what he has earned simply because he had the nerve to be successful? Yeah, lets punish hard work and success and see how far that gets us. Flat tax is fair and solves that problem. It isn't your place to say when somebody has more money than they can ever spend. Nobody should have to pay a higher percentage of their earnings than anyone else, that is the very essence of equality.
    1
  106. ***** I'm against any set standard of wage, low or high. At this point a high minimum wage will only result in A) more qualified people settling for the jobs the poor used to occupy because the money is so much better, and B) more automation, which simply eliminates those jobs and replaces them with very technical ones that the poor can't do. Either way, a high minimum wage punishes the very people it is trying to help. Let the market be free, and let people have a reason to seek self improvement. No one gives a shit about how you or anyone else wants the world to be. We are talking about economic reality. It is easy to be like you, or like I used to be, and claim that the government should enforce all these higher wages etc. Easy for you to say, you aren't the one who will pay for it. Snap back to reality and work hard, always improve your employable skills, start a business and forge yourself into a success. No one will ever look out for you except you, so stop wishing you lived in some socialist paradise that cannot, and will not ever exist.

  107. Jeremy Bowser People came together and built cities and infrastructure out of self preservation and later to accommodate greater economic output. Profit, basically. It isn't 'bitching,' as you so eloquently put it, to simply expect the same treatment as everyone else, regardless of how much money I make. Tax brackets are ultimately unfair. You basically say as much. You cannot legislate morality. If I had to pay a higher percentage of tax than someone who made half as much as I did, I wouldn't bother. Running a business is stressful, and is way more than 70 hours most weeks. If I only took home a small percentage more than the guy earning less, I would take a 40 hour a week job earning less. Money is the motivator. I don't owe you, or anyone else a living. Check you entitlement at the door and work hard like I did, and you WILL succeed. Keep whining about how the state is looking after you and prepare to whine for the rest of your life. High minimum wage will only result in A) more qualified people settling for the jobs the poor used to occupy because the money is so much better, and B) more automation, which simply eliminates those jobs and replaces them with very technical ones that the poor can't do. Either way, a high minimum wage punishes the very people it is trying to help. Let the market be free, and let people have a reason to seek self improvement. It is never your right to dictate that I owe more than anyone else or take the product of my labor by force. That is the very definition of tyranny.

  108. ***** First of all, I won't be called a sack of shit by someone who didn't address either point I made about high minimum wage in my first comment. Wal Mart made a CHOICE and wasn't forced to pay 17 bucks an hour by the government asshole. People in that area had better options so to make the job appealing they had to raise their wages. See how free markets work? See the difference? I'm obviously not in favor of crony capitalism because the only way crony capitalism can work is if the government is large. And fuck you for thinking that it is so difficult to start a business, I started a business with $200 that has now flourished into a contract IT solution provider. So it isn't out of reach of the average person, just out of reach of an idiot with no drive. All your high taxes and tedious legislation is already driving jobs out of North America. Get realistic and stop bitching about your fucking rights. Pull your balls down to where a man's hang and go get what you think you're worth. Prepare to wait if you think a socialist government will look out for your best interest for you. As a Canadian I'll tell you right now that it isn't going to happen. Socialism has never worked. Not ONE example of it succeeding in all of history. Canada is taking on so much debt on top of what it already had that they had to borrow to bribe the teacher's union to go back to work. Pathetic.

  111. birdy nuccah Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore were no minor competition. Rocky unscrewed both their heads. Rocky Marciano was an incredible puncher with both fists and also fought in a much tougher era of boxing, not easier as you seem to think. People forget that Marciano didn't START professional boxing until he was over 25 years old. So the whole his opponents weren't in their early 20's argument kind of falls flat because Marciano wasn't all that young either. Plus Marciano had an incredible defense against combination punchers, he was slick (I honestly think Tyson must have watched a lot of Marciano footage considering how he was also able to successfully move and avoid in the ring.) Do your research before you knock one of the greats. Also, he is undefeated. Numbers don't lie. He fought anybody put in front of him in his day.

  113. The reason Europe 'needs' immigration is because the people living there cannot afford to have children or just forego children altogether in favor of a career. A society cannot prosper if it is a mix of drastically and fundamentally different ideologies among the people living there. When we look at some of the safest societies in the world, we see a place like Japan that is extremely insular but as a result of cultural solidarity is an extremely safe place to live. As someone who lives in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world I can tell you that the vast majority of immigrants do not integrate and instead go on social benefits and stay huddled in their own neighborhoods. They have no desire to learn English either.

  115. The ones that do allow immigration have very strict policy and do not open their borders for just anyone to move in. Most migrants are not flocking to Portugal for instance because there is very little work there. There is really nothing stopping people from immigrating to the dangerous places but nobody in their right mind will go. Automation will remove the need for the majority of the migrant unskilled cheap labor inside the next twenty years. There is no need to import more unskilled workers into what will soon be a automated economy. The destabilization of the culture and existing society is a problem all unto itself.

  147. The problem is socialism inevitably becomes corrupt. All big centralized powers become corrupt. We haven't had capitalism except for the top 20 percent. Big 'socialist' governments enable crony corporatists to privatize their profits and socialize their losses. Lassez faire capitalism would be the most equitable system for everyone. Not more centralized power. More decentralized power. There has never been and never will be a large centralized power that decentralizes for the good of the people. Large concentrations of power are always self serving.

Add to that the mass exodus of people during the great resignation and just all the people and businesses that left during the pandemic and I don't see how this growth is sustainable.

  157. What you are basically promoting is laissez faire capitalism. One problem being you are over taxed on your income because you live in a country that is no longer a laissez faire capitalist society. Hence you are forced to take out a loan (you don't have any money that you can risk because after taxes you can only just get by). This is why the North American economy is suffering horribly. A government that ONLY protects the individual rights of its people would greatly reduce world suck.

  161. Depreciation isn't constant. Also, cars are not different than any other asset that depreciate. Public transport vehicles depreciate as well. Road costs where I live are more than covered by the taxes paid on fuel and certain other taxes. Public transportation makes little sense if a person doesn't live in an urban centre with a train system. Buses are unreliable and the last mile issue is yet to be solved. If you have to travel to work off a train line or have children public transit is not sufficient. I can't imagine relying on public transit for even grocery shopping for a family of four. One would have to shop every single day. That is a waste of time. If you have to connect to multiple lines that's more waiting. People aren't paying for cars, they are paying for convenience and saving enormous amounts of time.

  183. Sowell isn't the best but Marxist economies have utterly failed every single time and the more Western governments become huge and inefficient waste machines the more he is proven right. There aren't many exceptions to the rule that government is bad at managing economies. And in fact what most people blame on free market capitalism is actually just crony capitalism. The state enabling a monopoly and socializing the losses of large corporations. While not perfect capitalism has done more to lift people out of poverty and improve people's lives. Visiting Vietnam in the 80's and today make that abundantly clear. Free market capitalism has already won. Reality is often harsh and the pro Marxist people are really just having a hard time reconciling their utopic vision of what the world would be like, mainly the fault of parents and teachers who gave them a false view of the world, and the reality that they inevitably experience.

It replaced rental stores. Rental stores were ridiculously popular until someone could rent you the movie without you leaving your dwelling. I also wouldn't call our current system capitalism because it isn't. The very existence of central banking and interest rate fixing as well as the government refusing to allow large businesses to fail makes it difficult to describe this as capitalism. It is no more capitalism than North Korea is socialist or even a pure communist state at this point. Also capitalism doesn't require increasing consumption it results in increasing consumption. These are all important details that are not sufficiently explained in this video.
