- Comment on CPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company 3 days ago:
CPU manufacturers were getting jealous at the other hardware manufacturers claiming shortages in this artificial scarcity scenario.
- Comment on Don't be a coward 6 days ago:
True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.
- Comment on Robots will solve wealth inequality, they say 6 days ago:
What we need are Luigi robots.
- Comment on Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting 1 week ago:
I’m saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of “Next generation will be fucked” is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.
Change is not necessarily progress.
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 2 weeks ago:
Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.
- Comment on NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel 3 weeks ago:
They should try entering the desktop GPU market.
- Comment on Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You're Being Watched, Too 3 weeks ago:
I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.
- Comment on K.I.S.S. 4 weeks ago:
True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.
- Comment on K.I.S.S. 5 weeks ago:
I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
This isn’t the first time that the memory companies have colluded to raise prices. It’s perhaps one of the more extreme instances, yes, but with the AI excuse going away, things will have to go back to reality, especially as China ramps up production and ruins the cartel setup we’re currently stuck with.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
That’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
For a while, but when the AI bubble pops and as China ramps up production, we’ll hopefully see the memory cartel eat shit.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
I do, that’s why I refuse to buy anything so that they can have more supply.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 5 weeks ago:
It’s not just desktops, it’s phones and laptops and consoles
Good thing I don’t care about any of those things enough to pay the rip-off prices. I’m fine with my 4 year old phone and 10 year old PC. If they crap out then I’ll replace them with some cheap old crap. I don’t need high specs, there isn’t much worth running these days.

The solution to debt is more debt.

This is just one of many uses of texting.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 5 weeks ago:
I already vote for democrats all the way down ballot for every election, now what? How about democrats do their fucking job and actually try to get elected instead of demanding we settle for fascism-lite or else we get fascism?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 5 weeks ago:
remove fascism vs keep fascism seems pretty “black and white” to me.
Democrats don’t even want to defund ICE. How are they removing fascism?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 5 weeks ago:
How do you think we got trump in the first place? Democrats kept moving to the right and making things worse until a candidate like trump could seize the moment. So yeah, you will die on that hill because it was a hill built by voting the “lesser of two evils” while both parties moved to be more evil, until we’ve got the current level of evil we have now.

Do you think retailers would be using the same math to price things in monero?

- Comment on The web’s clipboard, and how it stores data of different types 1 month ago:
Maybe. Would be nice to have multiple options at least.
- Comment on The web’s clipboard, and how it stores data of different types 1 month ago:
Oh, so that’s why when I use the snipping tool and paste it, it’s a png instead of another format that could take up less space.

Maybe sodium ion will be a suitable replacement.
- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 1 month ago:
Thanks! I was blown away by the quality of voice work in a game back then. Combined with the story, it was a real treat.
- Comment on Which is it?. 1 month ago:
Pubes, but I don’t like when they get stuck between my teeth.
- Comment on AI spurs employees to work harder, faster, and with fewer breaks, study finds 1 month ago:
Work or “work”? I ask because my company also heavily encourages AI use, so I slap together a prompt and walk away from the machine while it defecates. A lot of it is garbage, but I don’t spend much time doing manual refinement because they clearly can’t distinguish quality if they’re demanding slop. I adjust the output only enough to pass the requirements.

Apple was overpricing RAM before it was cool.
- Comment on 'Fake it till you make it' insinuates fakers stop being fake, once they make it; reality seems to suggest otherwise 1 month ago:
That’s not faking it, that’s just doing it and getting better with practice.

If he keeps this up, he may have to learn to work without his head like an aristocrat.
