Well… you’ll find out eventually, one way or the other.

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

Give it some time. I’m sure they could be a whole lot worse still.

That thing will be around long after she’s gone, and, I hope, will show up on the first page of search results every time.

At this rate climate disasters will get us long before that cancer has time to fully develop.

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

Worst part is I went “Oh yeah, I saw this story yesterday” and then realized that no, that was about a Texas jail, this is Ohio…

For real. I explicitly append “give me the actual objective truth, regardless of how you think it will make me feel” to my prompts and it still tries to somehow butter me up to be some kind of genius for asking those particular questions or whatnot. Luckily I’ve never suffered from good self esteem in my entire life, so those tricks don’t work on me :p

Precisely. We like to think of ourselves as rational but we’re the opposite. Then we rationalize things afterwards. Even being keenly aware of this doesn’t stop it in the slightest.

We’ve been up against the 5Ghz thermal wall for over a decade. We can keep adding cores but we need significantly improved design (less nanometers) for these gains - and these are now running up against another wall, namely quantum tunneling which begins being a problem at around the nanometer scale.

I assume only a radically different architecture (light instead of electricity?) will be able to smash these barriers.

Not to the Russian Su-30.

I keep hearing that for all new EVs you practically pay 20K for the batteries alone. No idea if that is actually cost or just extortion.

NGL, I’ve been thinking about ways to scam magats on their own social media platforms. They’re clearly the most gullible group of people in existence, so they’ve already self-selected for inability to think critically. Despite that I can’t bring myself to actually do it. Scrupules they obviously wouldn’t bother with if it was the other way around…

I’m 100% sure they already have the data, they’re just now creating a “legal” framework in order to be able to use it, parallel-construction style.

My favorite fediposter is /u/pugjesus . Strong mix of memes and actual engaging content. Also, focused on modern politics plus history. The kind of people who would’ve created the Alaxamenos graffito two thousand years ago.

Horrible creatures.

Jordan once tried but they’re unlikely to make that mistake again. Look up Black September for more info.

Windows is like €200 minimum. It’s extortionate.

Just ordered a new video card to replace my 6-year old one simply because I fear prices are going to go up with 20-35% across the board for all PC parts worldwide. Without this threat looming I would definitely have held off for another year or so.

The goodwill generated by this would last for generations. Too bad about half of the EU is flirting with the extreme right, so this’ll be a tough sell.
