don’t worry, they will block china off their market to try and prop up their crumbling industry.

more broadly than ram, from what i’ve been reading, they are already gearing up to do just that. semiconductors are one of the few industries they are behind in and it wouldn’t even be wise to depend on their rivals for their computing.

whether or not they will be able to pull it off before the couple of years it would take for western manufacturers to meet demand, or the ai bubble to burst is anyone’s guess, but i don’t think so.

a bit of speculation but i don’t think they would hate to be the gatekeepers of rented cloud computing to recoup costs after ai busts either so who knows, maybe we do need china to come sooner rather than later and flood the market with cheap computer chips.

stealing intellectual property from billion dollar corporations to be morally neutral

i consider it to be beautiful and commendably moral to steal back what they basically made us do for money/survival then claimed as their secrets only they can profit from, causing the whole predicament we are in in the first place.

being surveilled is always bad. difference being one of them are constantly starting conflicts and meddling with foreign elections, the other haven’t been at war for decades.

Unless the US does the thing where they decide to violently lash out

yeah they are already gearing up for it 🫩

the global south will have another chance and the east will eventually shine. and a period of peace after the storm passes. quite a lot of nuance and drama and death all along the way.

climate change fucking everything up for the worse somewhere in the middle of all this.

yay, big win! :)

that’s not low key at all. living the dream.

and 13419 miles.

tbf the stereotype of young people being happier and more active and carefree has to do with the societal expectations involved with the age too, at least on my experience.

i don’t think anything says we couldn’t ease up as a society with trying to make everyone miserable for a change.

the worst part is that there are plenty of examples of older phones that achieved high IP ratings while also being more repairable. they just gaslight us into accepting it.

(also obligatory 🐧)

eh, they are already making the parts anyway. just make them available on order or something, not ideal but acceptable. beats forcing consumers to take a leap of faith for a product that looks pretty clearly to be disposable.

being existentially afraid of new tech instead of excited for the possibilities is a terribly capitalist problem to have.

secret weed grow

literally slop 🤣

housing.

for most, at least. and utilities. the rest can probably be unlocked/hacked/pirated into working without one.

very similar situation with cat. we found out he had some kidney issue or someother and letting go would have made his final moments much more pleasant. had a good run though, great cat.

there a reason we call it “putting it out of its misery”. there are some situations i wish it wasn’t so much of a taboo to just decide to die peacefully. i’d spare it some pain if i would appreciate that kind of pain spared from me.

i’m playing the remake now though. you can even toggle between old and new graphics, but i think they did an amazing job with the update.

If it bursts the world wide western economy collapses

federation is supposed to help. we will have to see, when it gets to it.
