Cynically though... they've been peddling nothing for two decades now. Big data, the cloud, SAAS, web 3.0, metaverse, nfts, llms, there's always a new nothing born.
Most of the ''smart money'' is just in it for the short term. Get all the value possible out of their position and be the first out. The bagholders will be the same wallets with legs, us, who hold all that shit in our pension funds, IRAs and whatever.
We are very much in a post sustainability mindset when it comes to the investment market. Enshitification is just scrapping the bottom of the barrel to keep the numbers good for another quarter.
I'd say the ongoing thread is more the declining use of desktops/laptops in general in favour of phones or tablets. Cloudflare's tools doesn't allow us to compare between either.
MacOS is fine. Wouldn't be as maligned if it existed in a vacuum outside the Apple business model.
Its like buying a Thinkpad new... its crazy for that price, but otherwise everything is excellent. Paying $500 for a once $5000 Thinkpad will change your opinion on the sticker shock.
They are all going into debt over datacenters. Google issued new shares... how? why? They all make so much money and still they can't cashflow this expansion.
I played it when standalone came out. I enjoyed the feeling it gave you of walking out alone in the woods, orienting yourself on landmarks and stuff. Mostly avoided players and did my thing though lol
Yeah, that's the neat part about servers, they don't necessarily need to be snappy. Most of what it does is background work and it doesn't have anything else to do. DDR3 and DDR4 get the job done just as well, and save you a buck.
My NAS has 16gb of ddr3 ecc, it has 10tb of ZFS pools and it runs an embedded OS. No problems with that. Not going to use it to host Gitlab lol, but it gets the job done for what it has to do.
Farming equipment is a particularly annoying one, that and construction vehicles, are becoming increasingly locked down by proprietary software and impossible to maintain yourself. You can't even employ mechanics outside the dealer network in some instances and it will be more so in the future.
We'll they said they only scanned stuff that would have allowed them implicitly, now did they really respect that? Their ''stack'' is public, so people can review it. It's opensource, people can audit it at least.
The big giants can lift whatever they want from Github and we wouldn't have the means to prove it. I'm sure Microsoft is using private repos as they like. It's not a coincidence that Copilot was one of the earlier coding LLMs.
Yeah, its a strategy when you want someone to understand something they clearly haven't. You restate it in different words. You may have addressed it, that doesn't mean you understood my position. I don't mean that to sound bitchy btw. 😅 We just chatting. We cool. 👉 👉
I always wondered how much impact that has on interactions. It's like road rage, people in cars are just way more aggressive than someone you meet on foot or even on a bike. You'll never see people argue irl like they do online... but I still wonder how to avoid that overall and keep things positive?
Yeah, questions are always less confrontational. It's also a good equalizer, especially if you show you aren't scared to appear foolish. Puts people at ease I think. Gives them the space to explain their thinking rather than defend themselves.

Selfhosting Gitlab takes a bazillion RAMs lol. I think I got it up to 12gb idling without doing anything.

I dunno, we already knew the reddit answer without clicking in and it was "why don't you google this yourself".

What blood will there be to take?
Or his pivot to threads?

Right? Friends? In this economy?

Yeah, they aren't supposed to scrape that stuff. That's kind of where I'm wondering if they limited their collections.

Bitchin other people for no reason is a great bonding experience. lol
Something tells me, this will be an ongoing theme in the comments. Let's all do our best! :)
I'm inspired to start tonight. I have 3-4 boxes of unfinished killteams and 2 unpainted teams + a few TTCombat kits. Two years of slow crawling.
