- Comment on The AI bubble is 17 times the size of the dot-com frenzy and four times the subprime bubble, analyst says 11 hours ago:
“Microsoft “invests” in Openai by giving the company free access to its servers. Openai reports this as a ten billion dollar investment, then redeems these “tokens” at Microsoft’s data-centers. Microsoft then books this as ten billion in revenue.
That’s par for the course in AI, where it’s normal for Nvidia to “invest” tens of billions in a data-center company, which then spends that investment buying Nvidia chips. It’s the same chunk of money is being energetically passed back and forth between these closely related companies, all of which claim it as investment, as an asset, or as revenue (or all three).”

- Comment on Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support? 11 hours ago:
they tried to make it with swappable RAM and it turned out to be impossible from a physics perspective
Not true. They could make it but with reduced memory bandwidth. They chose not to do it anyway.
- Comment on Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support? 11 hours ago:
It’s not repairable or upgradable, save for the SSD and power supply.
- Comment on Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support? 19 hours ago:
The author points out that Framework’s mission is to encourage right to repair and responsible consumption by discouraging planned obsolescence.
They’ve already abandoned this with the Framework desktop.

Something ironic about a news site writing news about how terrible ads are while showing you ads and collecting and sharing your information to sell to advertisers to show you more ads.
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 days ago:
Maybe just explain what you’re trying to say instead of exclusively being a giant fucking asshole for no reason at all?
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 days ago:
This is not a tabletop game, it’s a card game.
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 days ago:
It seems very unlikely that no one in the entirety of the US has the capacity to make a card game. Do you have some evidence of this?
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 days ago:
Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.

Ok this Fediverse experiment has been fun but it turns out you guys are assholes just like everywhere else. Byebye now.
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 3 days ago:
LOL the useless metrics that you brought up? Ok. Bye bye now.
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 3 days ago:
I promise I’ve been here longer than you.

I don’t get it
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 3 days ago:
What? Which meme?
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 3 days ago:
Instead of trying to exploit loopholes, why not just produce them in the US? It’s just cardstock.

I’m not going to disagree, other than to offer the obligatory “it works on my machine!”.

- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 5 days ago:
I recommend the opposite. Steam Game Mode essentially turns your PC into a console and has lots of in-game settings that are all controller friendly, and has a built in MangoHud for performance metrics. This is what SteamOS uses. But it really depends on how you use your system. You can always just disable game mode with a single command, and the invoke it manually from the desktop using
` ujust toggle-autologin
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 5 days ago:
Firstly if you’re looking to upgrade your system and switch to Linux, I would recommend switching to team Red. For a variety of reasons really but generally they are a better value and also will just work better with Linux.
GOG games can be run on SteamOS and SteamOS-like distros through Heroic and Lutris. Though YMMV. You’re going to have a much better time playing games on Steam.
Valve is not going to give you support for GOG but Linux is a community-driven project and probably the vast majority of Linux users are going to want to run games from other stores.

Correct

It is a problem.

Why would anyone pay you $20/mo when they can sell their personal data to ChatGPT and use it for free?
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
A 1TB HDD goes for $40-80, depending on how fancy you wanna get. That’s like maybe $20 more. Not that any of that is relevant since you can’t sell back your HDD so $60 is $60. It’s not a lot of money for a massive increase in performance.

Keep using your alt accounts to harass me after I blocked you. I’ll keep blocking them.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
I keep saying 1TB and you keep responding to me with 4TB and then telling me I need to learn to read. No. Goodbye.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
Think about what you just said for a moment. Where did you get $240 from?
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
That’s not what I asked, and you know it’s not.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
That’s not even remotely what I said and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.
SSDs have been very inexpensive for many years now. Enough that the power bill alone can offset the additional cost.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 1 week ago:
Do you REALLY need 2TB though?
$60 gets a Crucial or Patriot SSD, which are definitely not “bottom of the barrel”
