But the suicide part … that confirmed as well?
Honestly don’t know, just surprised to read that.

- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 6 months ago:
To be fair
NO! No fair.
I delivered a season of 4k animations for a network show using Motion, AE, C4D, Ps, AI…all using a base model M1 Mini (8/256), with zero problems.
Of course more would be better, but unless you’ve actually used one, it’s hard to imagine how well it works. I tried mentioning this in another post, but it’s all Apple hate all the way down here
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 6 months ago:
Point taken! Clearly more is always better. Don’t have any experience with the M2 or 3.
I’m just adding a personal experience with having the minimum be plenty to get big jobs done.

…And yet…?
My point is that while of course more is better, 8 sufficed for me…a professional, doing demanding…professional…work.

Do the journalists (and researchers, editors, verifying staff, etc.) all work for free?
- Comment on The internet is dying - here's why. 6 months ago:
Can’t help but think that the all-too prevalent (here, at least) attitude that one shouldn’t have to pay anything, or very, very little, for quality content has a lot to do with it.
- Comment on Apple argues in favor of selling Macs with only 8GB of RAM 6 months ago:
To be fair, M-series Macs are pretty insanely efficient with memory. Unless you’ve actually used one extensively, I can understand the attitudes here…BUT:
I’ve done broadcast animation for many years, and back in ‘21 delivered an entire season of info/explainer-type pieces for a network show — using Motion, Cinema 4D, and After Effects (+ Ai and Ps) — all of it running on a base-level, first-gen M1 Mini (8/256). Workflow was fast and smooth; even left memory-pig apps running in the background most of the time…not one hiccup. Oh, and everything was delivered in 4k.
So 8gb actually is plenty for most folks…even professionals doing some heavy lifting. Sure I’d go for 16 next one, but damn I was/am still impressed. (Maybe it sucks for gaming, I don’t do that so have no clue).

“Billionaire,” please…millionaires are a dime a dozen these days, many of them truly “self-made” and from poor backgrounds.
- Comment on One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billion 1 year ago:
I think the whole point is that it gives media companies something to pretend is “news,” and everyone else something to be pretend-outraged over. Full stop.
- Comment on The Problem with Jon Stewart cancellation highlights a problem for Apple’s content 1 year ago:
He can and will say whatever he wants!
Apple just doesn’t want to fund the show.
Two different things.
- Comment on The Problem with Jon Stewart cancellation highlights a problem for Apple’s content 1 year ago:
Oh come on. They’re not preventing him from speaking, they’re choosing to stop putting million$ into a show with someone they no longer want to do business with (for whatever reason; details not clear).
If the show has legs, Stewart will certainly find a new host. Could be a nice catch for one of the other biggies.

- Comment on Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts 1 year ago:
This and if any business anywhere manages to reache a significant level of success — and has the nerve to charge money for their service — it’s a sign that capitalism doesn’t work and corporations are inherently evil.
I just assume it’s an age thing.
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices… again 1 year ago:
It’s still not clear how much Netflix will raise prices, and Netflix declined to comment.
Curious, is there any price hike y’all would consider fair? Serious question.
- Comment on TikTok ran a deepfake ad of an AI MrBeast hawking iPhones for $2 — and it's the 'tip of the iceberg' 1 year ago:
Sorry, just blurting an admittedly off-topic idea. No, I don’t think TikTok is the problem here…
But why isn’t TikTok banned? It is cancer.

Ban TikTok already. Can someone tell me why this isn’t a good idea?
