Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

What crystal ball told you this was temporary? Every day for the past few years the consumer market moves further and further into serving only the wealthy. The people in power don’t care about selling RAM or other scraps to peasants.

Downvoted by libs with their collective heads in the sand.

It might not wind up working, but Altman and Nadella et. al are trying to push all consumers to forever rent compute from them.

They do not want you to be able to run your own Deepseek at home. They do not want you to control the hub of your smarthome. They want to know what’s in the spreadsheet you saved, what’s in the business plan you typed up, and when the password is to any E2EE service you have an account with.

They want to forecast you like the weather.
