• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US lawsuit accuses Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron of worsening the RAM crisis by fixing memory prices and supply⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a lawyer but it seems likely to fail? The main argument seems to be that in a free market environment, one of the big manufacturers would have expanded consumer RAM production to fill the gap left by the others leaving that market, but that ignores the fact that they’re all making way more money just selling shit for data centers.

  Also, crime is legal now so I don’t see it mattering. Worst-case they’ll get a fine that doesn’t matter.

  Oh no, they’ll have to ban gacha games, the horror.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, in order to remain morally consistent we should remove all the most energy-intensive humans as well. Oh look, it’s the billionaires. Well, you guys had a good run, time to get in the pit barbara-pit

  Hmm, do I pay for a service that has ads, or do I simply pirate-jammin? It is impossible to make this decision.

  He may have done just that and its forced positivity convinced him he was a genius.

  1. Fuck cars. Can’t wait until this becomes the standard.
  2. Is Ram now a legally separate entity from Dodge?

  I think they have one solar system “done” (not really) out of 100.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  They claim it’s so that Sony can handle banning players. In reality it’s a split between data farming and an attempt to get people into the playstation ecosystem.

  It’s really too bad Arrowhead went with Sony as a publisher.
