Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

you either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

it was sold to a swedish company that plans to develop/support it further. Hopefully they do it well.

Narrator: They aren’t

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

Maybe they have a fancy bidet with a blower? Or they horded toilet paper during COVID and are working through the surplus? You do pretty much have to dry somehow, but the amount of TP needed to dry a wet asshole is significantly less than cleaning a shitty asshole.

I heard an anecdote that one of the reasons older structures last longer than newer buildings was until the days of using Log Tables, engineers had to round up to the nearest values to match the values in the log table when calculating complex forces, and this rounding compounded when multiplied against other rounded values. Once computers were being used with design, you could calculate the forces exactly to minimize material costs.

These are the same people who were simultaneously protesting “Stop the count” and “count the votes” on election day in 2020.

This is how we convince them to use the metric system

If you include the worm inside his brain, the net length is probably 7 cm

This was United, wasn’t it?

Last picture should be Helen Keller with no wires

They’re probably not even building to industry standards and not properly grounding their equipment, so if you were to visit the “datacenter” you’d be literally shocked.

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

They fall back to the Purcell principle when it’s convenient and didn’t get involved in Texas redistricting a full year before the next election, but when California does the same thing (via the legal avenues) all of a sudden it’s not too close to an election and they’ll likely mess with California’s redistricting. I despise the corruption of the court, but they could at least have the decency of keeping the corruption consistent.

The raw comment is this:

[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅

It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as

[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com

He’s the exception that goes against the saying “The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.”

Not sure how true it was, but there was a YouTuber claiming that their videos were getting entirely demonetized because too many of their viewers had Ad blockers enabled. So even though 75% of people were seeing ads on the video, Google was keeping that ad revenue, withholding it all from the creator because 25% weren’t getting ads. The claim the youtuber made is that this will probably predominantly impact creators with a more tech savvy / privacy aware audience, resulting in less of that niche content.

Anyway, this is anecdotal, but I wouldn’t put it past Google to pass the issue to the creators for the actions of their consumers, even though it’s not their fault.
