And yet when I use it things break. You guys always act like it doesn’t happen, but it does.

I’d rather have a system that works, is uncomplicated, and requires no maintenance. Where I don’t need to constantly paste shit into a command line to get stuff to work, try system restores, etc.

Funny to see a Star Trek reference in your name and then the comment below is simping for an evil trillion dollar company while shitting on the collective collaborative efforts of the many, too. Talk about missing the point.

Config files and terminals? Huh? Why would you need any of that

Gnome works completely fine. It’s probably the most bug-free DE I’ve ever used. And yes I use fractional scaling.

Everything works? On Windows?

Now I know your comments are just bait.

Generally unsupported means “we will not provide support for this, you’re on your own if something goes wrong”

Rather than “this will not work at all, we have ensured that”

Unfortunately most of the GPUs aren’t usable by gamers. We aren’t talking mining booms where miners buy up gaming GPU stock, then sell cheap when the bubble bursts.

We’re talking companies buying huge GPUs that don’t have video outputs and have an altered software stack to what’s used for gaming, missing all kinds of features and game specific patches.

Granted, many 4090/5090s were also used, and those will be usable by gamers, but even with a significant price drop on those, only richer gamers will find that to be viable.

Somewhat similar story for memory - a lot of it is tied up in HBM, or as GDDR on enterprise graphics cards.

Look, if I were in a privileged position in life, you can bet I’d also do whatever I could to make the same true for my daughters. 100%. I care for them and want them to be prosperous, and if they have kids I’d like them to be in a good position too.

But what really fucks me off is when these people who’ve benefitted from that then go on to act like they’re self-made and didn’t get the help.

Just own it. Say “yeah, my family runs a businesses, and because of that I’m in this good position. I’m really thankful of my parents for doing that for me, I’ve been really fortunate, and I work hard every day in order to show my appreciation for the opportunities that have been made available to me.”

I’d respect the hell out of that, even though there’s still the degree of nepotism there.

You’re on lemmy.ml

This has always been a Tankie instance for people that hate the west but don’t have the balls to move to the countries they simp for.

But but but, this way I get to feel like I’m doing something without actually doing a damn thing, and continuing to support Microsoft

Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.

What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?

Just fucking stop.

It’s just an Android phone, so yeah, it’ll have Signal.

Sorry my words hurt your feelings my guy. You were wrong though. It was a really stupid comment to make. A really really fucking dumb one.

There is more to a phone’s specs than just the amount of storage…

And 500€ for a phone with 256GB doesn’t seem bad at all, so I’m not sure what you even mean there? If you want more ram and storage, there’s the 580€ one, I guess.

Surely you can say this about practically everything you put in a dishwasher.

Dishwashers aren’t really meant to be quick. They’re meant to be efficient and set/forget.

SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet’s DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they’re fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they’re doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat… 40% of Earth’s RAM production.

It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

Ah, the “you also participate in society” line.

I guess nobody should ever make any moral stand, ever, because living in the 21st century means you’ve indirectly supported evil by default.

No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

Socialism is not “when the government does things”.

Nobody mentioned child labour.

Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

That’s probably because you’re a piece of shit.

Lemmy copying Reddit with the downvotes system is something that really frustrates me.

The downvote button is one of the most toxic things about Reddit. Nobody uses it the way it is supposedly intended to be used.

Lemmy saw that and thought great, let’s copy.

I don’t know whether they did it because they wanted to make a straight up Reddit clone, or whether they mistakenly thought Lemmy users would be above that kind of behaviour (lol), but either way it was a mistake IMO. It just encourages division.
