If everyone just stayed home for a few days and consume no media, with a full internet blackout in protest, all the rich people would get in line. Just unplug your router and don’t buy or consume anything.
Take sick days at work if you have to.
Sure, some get a bump from the supplies getting bought beforehand, but the majority would be in instant panic mode.
None of their fancy projections can handle that.
Edit(2): don’t not doing. Or not out
I’m not up on ROI for non-asic mining anymore, but I’d be interested to know if this would be economical for these centres. When I used to mine ethereum on 27 Rx 580 8GB, I had to flash them with different bios to get them to be profitable.
Then the heat. I had them in a separate building on 60A panel and turning on the lights was a 50/50 that the breaker would trip.
Would running crypto on GPUs geared for AI be worth the extra power draw?
Good thing IDGAF about Internet points then I suppose!
At least he is an equal opportunity rapist. Wait, does that make him woke?
I get it. It’s not that everything was better back then, it’s that the things that were better, were way better.
It’s a feeling of profound loss at what could have been if capitalism didn’t win.
Unless it tickles my loin-goblin and makes me a sandwich while I’m using it, there’s no way I’m paying that much when my 10 year old, $25 controller still works fine.
Podman is the way.
The guy has an uncanny knack of accelerating good things, despite trying his darndest to destroy everything good.
Canada was becoming divided before he came along, Tesla was considered a viable brand, and now he’s inadvertently driving the world to renewables.
What’s next? He somehow tries to take Greenland and ends up ridding the world of micro plastics?
Because they are one of the few mega companies that hasn’t shrinkflated, enshittified, or otherwise crumbled the quality of their offering. Haven’t sold out the privacy of their customer base to advertising companies, and are generally good to deal with for customers and developers.
It’s not a secret formula that no other company can learn from. It’s as simple as not being dicks IMO.
For some reason, most companies seem to grow too a certain threshold at which they sell their souls to profit and will self destruct to get more of it. Steam thankfully isn’t one of them…… yet.
I’m kinda sad we used “Stupidgate” the last time he was impeached multiple times. This kinda relates to gatekeeping and is muchly stupider.
The ultimate bully snowflake grifter madman.
Remember when this guy was just a shit tabloid piece once in a while? The ones that used to be where all the candy is now by the checkout, with shocking news about some b list actors nonsense drama?
Those were the days…
I guess you are right. The staggering thing for me is the shear apathy required to do what they are doing. It’s revolting and frankly terrifying, but fascinating.
There is a yet to be diagnosed mental illness involved here, for so many people to so callously trumpet and parade toward things that actively and directly hurt them as well, just to prove some imaginary point.
It’s like psychopathy mixed with a side of Stockholm flavoured bias soup.
I mean. You have to give it to them. They are really going all in on destroying anything that actually made America great.
I’m not sure if that was the original goal, or even the intent now, but even with how terrible this news is, if the goal is to systematically dismantle a country, these guys are very very good at it.
The only way this flies this long is that the whole lot of them are corrupt. The investors, the platforms, the regulators, the banks. All of them.
Someone needs to start sleuthing to document all those who are even potentially involved, what they are supposed to do, what they aren’t doing and submit the lot of it to the FB… …
Oh right, never mind…
I disagree. Not in the sense that you are wrong. The similarities to previous grave mistakes is often stunning.
My own personal thoughts are that even though the similarities are there to other historical blunders, the sheer scale and depth of pure stupidity and gross incompetence on full display right now for all the world to see is so mind numbingly unprecedented on so many levels that it shouldn’t be referred to as anything other than a brand new low.
It’s like referring to anything else somehow makes it seem less bad. Even though past conflicts were devastating.
