- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 week ago:
when the bottom line replaces humanities interest
And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…
Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.

Capitalism is like any other vice.
In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.
But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 week ago:
The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.
So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what’s most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.
For it to be “worth it” to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips
So it’s not a conspiracy that’s raising prices, it’s capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism…
- Comment on Vote brigading from lemmy.org 1 week ago:
The “1” account is like a week old…
It doesn’t seem like that huge of an issue.
And their admin posted a lot in the last 24 hours, are you saying that because the one account made a comment saying they PMed the admin a few hours ago the admin is inactive?
The admin may have replied immediately, and that 3rd party just didn’t pass it along to you
They may just not be caught up on PMs…
Like, I think you just need to chill out, this isn’t a multi billion dollar company with paid workers…
Shit might not always be handled instantly
- Comment on what happens when you cut something? 2 weeks ago:
atoms/molecules
Two completely different things, on a molecular level that could just be stored potential energy. Like when a mousetrap is set or not, it doesn’t change it’s weight.
That’s how splitting atoms make atomic bombs there’s potential energy holding shit together, and we poke one to make it release which cause a giant chain reaction which adds up. Even then the “lost” mass is just blown up. I don’t think used my lease fuel gets substantially lighter for example.
- Comment on what happens when you cut something? 2 weeks ago:
Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?
So, solids aren’t really solid. Like, at an atomic level no two molecules are actually touching. Think of it like a magnet floating above another.
What you cut it with matters too, something insanely sharp like a medical grade obsidian blade wieled with skill is so sharp, it’s just going to separate the molecules. And remove very little material.
Try to cut a piece of paper in half with a baseball bat, and lot of material won’t be attached to either of the two biggest pieces. Because it’s a big blunt object.

Why do you keep making and deleting so many accounts?
If you kept the same one, a lot of people would block you and stop down outing every post you make from a new account
- Comment on to any EU federalist, why do you believe you can make a federation out of 27 different countries with different languages and cultures? 2 weeks ago:
When America was founded they intentionally choose not to designate an official language, because it was a federation of lots of people from different cultures who spoke different languages…
We had a pretty decent run all things considered.
In fact, you could make a pretty good argument that the initial diversity was one of the main strengths, and we saw the biggest issues in areas with segregation and artificial means to keep different groups divided, with racial based slavery obvious being a huge early exception.
Every American knows what CNN, WSJ and USA Today are. How many Poles know what the BBC is?
That’s a wild statement tho…
BBC is global company.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_News_Polska
There was a 20 year gap 2005-2025, but less than a year after they came back, I can assure you most Poles today are very aware what the BBC is…
- Comment on How can we stop bots on the fediverse? 2 weeks ago:
You read my initial comment…
And thought it wasn’t pointing out how you didn’t know what you were talking about?
That’s literally why I had to simplify and be blunt, and guess what?
It worked.
I had to really really dumb my comment down for you to understand it, and once you understood it, you got mad and accused me of having awntal illness…
Why would anyone ever try to help you when this is how you act?
Which likely explains why you have such fundamental misunderstandings.
If someone explains something to you, you either don’t understand any of it, or get insulted someone didn’t agree with you
Best of luck bro.

What the actual fuck are you even talking about?
Seriously, nothing you’re saying makes any sense.
- Comment on How can we stop bots on the fediverse? 2 weeks ago:
but now I am starting to see it myself, blatant bots posting really crappy AI images
There’s one account that mods a shit ton.of AI image communities…
If you block that one account, it will.pretty much fix all of it. They’re super weird and going off memory they mod an insane number of communities for AI images, so I wouldn’t worry about pre-emptively blocking everyone, because it’s just the one account posting most of it.
But as you see posts block the community.
It ain’t that difficult.
But there’s entire instances that the admins have lost it to AI brainrot already. That’s where the communities are usually hosted and no amount of facts, logic, or even opinions and feelings will get those admins to “do something” about it.
The fediverse isn’t centralized, you’ll never “get rid of” any subject or topic. Because even if the big instances do, anyone can make a new one.
“Fighting” the people who’s brains have been rotted by AI will never be productive and most likely drives them further into AI
Not sure why it still needs repeated so much, but:
Don’t feed the trolls
Block them and move on.

Do you not realize the idiots doing that, also think they’re “on the side of the poor, weak, disabled and oppressed”?

- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s not that people don’t like the lemmy.ml users, or even really their mods…
It’s (at least one of) the admins.
If they see something they don’t like on their server, they delete it and give a very very short ban. Because they don’t want those people gone. They want them enraged and chomping at the bit to come back.
It’s ran like a troll instance, and it’s not alone.
The only time they permanently ban someone, is when they see someone in a neutral place they can’t control talking about it. Advocate for people blocking them, and they don’t want anyone signed up to their instance seeing your comments
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 3 weeks ago:
If it hurts the world wide economy collapses, because most “wealth” is loans against stock, which are then invested in stocks driving the price up.
I think we’re past a trillion sunk into the ponzi scheme just in AI stock, but if it goes down banks call in their loans triggering automatic sales of whatever collateral they used.
Billions and billions being sold automatically regardless of price would cause cascading crashes…
But if it works…
Corps can fire the majority of their employees and starving desperate people turn to Mad Max after a few consecutive missed meals.
- Comment on Something is very wrong with the HBO Max 4K version of Mad Men 3 weeks ago:
the new 4K transfer of mad men on HBO somehow does not have any of the post-production edits added in, which means you get stuff like this where you can see the crew member manning the puke machine after Roger has too many oysters lmao
Makes sense, that stuff was done after the master tapes.
So when they made 4k off the masters instead of upscaling, they forgot about all the stuff that was done.
It’s the reason Lucas changed shit on re-releases, they had to redo a lot of effects, so the older methods were more expensive then the modern standards, and once some stuff is getting updated, adding more stuff you couldn’t do back then doesn’t feel like a big deal, because it’s already different.
- Comment on Exclusive: jury in anti-genocide activist 'terrorism' trial 'told to ignore international law' 3 weeks ago:
Damn, that shits crazy:
The jury was then subsequently kept for three days without “meat, drink, fire and tobacco” to force it to bring in a guilty verdict. When it failed to do so, the judge ended the trial. As punishment, the judge ordered the jurors imprisoned until they paid a fine to the court.[35]
Four jurors refused to pay the fine, and after several months, Bushell sought a writ of habeas corpus. Chief Justice Vaughan, sitting on the Court of Common Pleas, discharged the writ, released them, called the power to punish a jury “absurd” and forbade judges from punishing jurors for returning a verdict the judge disagreed with
No wonder that dude founded Pennsylvania
- Comment on Exclusive: jury in anti-genocide activist 'terrorism' trial 'told to ignore international law' 3 weeks ago:
I tried googling if you all have jury nullification, but just got AI slop and stuff about America…
The most I know about the UK legal system is the cool wigs, and what I learned from Sherlock and Misfits.
But I’d assume a jury can do whatever they want. As long as you’re not self snitching, you don’t have to explain anything. And we’re talking about government support of an ongoing genocide, it’s hard to expect jurours to solely follow the letter of the law.
- Comment on Exclusive: jury in anti-genocide activist 'terrorism' trial 'told to ignore international law' 3 weeks ago:
International law guarantees an unequivocal right of resistance, including armed resistance, to people under illegal occupation. Legal experts say that UK terrorism legislation breaches international law by blocking this right.
- Comment on Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings 4 weeks ago:
But real estate agents complained they hurt sales. Some homeowners protested the scores and found there was no way to challenge the ratings.
The bigger problem is landowners lobbying to avoid official designation even tho it comes with funding to mitigate/prevent damage. It raises insurance and lowers home prices, so they just ignore it till the last second.
- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 4 weeks ago:
Most oxygen produced on earth and CO2 consumed is done by algae.
Thats more because of total biomass, and the difference is we’re basically a ball of water.
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 4 weeks ago:
Wasn’t the studios fault
They fought to change the name since the beginning because they knew it would be impossible to deliver a real sequel and while this name might get initial sales it would cause blowback killing the game almost immediately…
Which is exactly what happened.
Like, they’d have loved to make Masquerade 2, but they weren’t given the time or funds to make it.

- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 5 weeks ago:
We are at this very moment evolving to adapt to an environment full of microplastics, to eating ultraprocessed foods, to look at screens for most of the day, etc.
That’s not how evolution works…
and only makes the next generations more adapted to the current environment
It’s random chance, there’s nothing I creasing the next generations odds, and most adaptions will have a negative effect
Just informing that this post contains irony and is mostly a joke
It’s not ironic…
You either fundamentally don’t know what you’re talking about, or are just repeating common misunderstandings as “just a joke bro”?

It’s so weird the appendix isn’t the go to example instead of whiteness and milk drinking…
Up until a few hundred years ago it was vital as a reserve for gut bacteria when everyone was always getting dysentery and diarrhea. It still burst occasionally but it was a net positive. People without one likely died before it would have burst.
Then we got indoor plumbing and food safety, we stopped needing it so much which changed the evolutionary pressure. People without one never had it burst, so it flipped.
Then we discovered how to do an appendectomy ~300 years ago, and removed all the evolutionary pressure.
So it’ll stay a random percent where some people do and some don’t.
But everybody always wants to talk about whiteness and milk drinking

No you didn’t…

Looking at the modlog, you had one comment removed for being flippant and not contributing to the conversation. Which is what you’re claiming doesn’t happen…
- Comment on What happens to cult leaders in prison? 5 weeks ago:
Kind of like asking what murderers or drug dealers do…
Different people do it different ways, but lots of high profile cult leaders are in jail, you can actually find out on an individual basis, but if you average them all up, you get no valuable data

Thanks for aggressively agreeing with me I guess?
Weird move, and I think it’s more likely you were just confused, it works better if you ask questions when you’re confused.
