8GB RAM isn’t even enough to run Teams + Windows 11 on corporate PCs, not with all the other bullshit they make you install.

In other words “I’m going to take out a shitload of debt, buy your company with it, and then make YOU pay it off or go bankrupt. EIther way I win”

So this is going to cause a bit of a panic so one of two things will happen:

1. Nvidia, AMD and Intel all massively cut the prices of their GPUs to try to make it so Lisuan can’t compete
2. Nvidia, AMD and Intel give Donald Trump a big bag of money and demand they ban Lisuan GPUs from being used anywhere in western supply chains.

Ah yes I remember “three guys one hammer” which was a video of three Ukrainian serial killers stabbing a guy in the eye and repeatedly in the stomach with a screwdriver and then beating him to death with a hammer.

Apparently one of the killers got out of prison in 2019. I imagine he’s probably dead by now, given that he was most likely conscripted.

Nah, the actress just sounds like she’s about to die every time she speaks because she’s been doing that voice for 40 years and she’s in her 70s now.

I can’t watch modern Simpsons. I’m sure there are really good episodes out there, but I just can’t listen to Marge’s voice anymore.

I’m still not basically disabling most of my PC’s security to play pirated games though.

Just one more datacentre bro, just one more! One more and we get GenAI. 10,000 more layoffs and another datacentre! C’mon you know I’m good for it!

That’s not his arm.

If only they could agree on what size Spheal is.

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

I could have borgar every day if I wanted, but I don’t. Instead, I buy all the stuff to make my own borgar, and then leave the rest of it to rot in the fridge for weeks on end and inevitably throw it away. Then I’m so guilt-ridden for wasting food that I don’t make borgar for months.

I think that’s a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it’s not my machine so I don’t give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it’s Windows, I’ll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it’s not Windows I’m fighting against when I’m unable to do my job, it’s the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can’t even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

Back when all screens were more-or-less the same size and nothing ever had to scale. Your UI was the size it was, and if your screen was too big, too bad! You can either stretch it and deal with the pixelly mess, or squint your eyes to see the teeeny tiny program.

Presumably even if Linux must provide a means of reporting an age, you can always modify that distro to always report the oldest age?

What, is Google upset about having some competition?

It’s a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don’t see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is “Oh just create it”, but I don’t have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.

Was it? Because I remember how things were in 2012, and that’s not how I remember it. Anita Sarkeesian started her Kickstarter in May of 2012, and thus Gamergate was unofficially born, and 2 years later it was officially born, followed by Brexit, followed by Trump. Technically Anita’s stuff wasn’t what kicked off Gamergate, but the backlash against her primed an audience ready to pounce when Gamergate actually started and took half the internet on the road to fascism.

2012 is the year everything started going downhill. While yes, some social progress was made, it was in 2012 that the seeds of today’s problems were planted, at least on the internet anyway. One could argue that 9/11 and the Patriot Act and massive expansion of executive power contributed heavily as well.

Either way, shit was bad in 2012 as well, we were all just too blind to see it. The only people who actually did see it were pariahs on the internet for years and weren’t listened to because they were 'SJW’s.
