Rightwing influencers immediately leaped on the incident (and the questionable image) to claim that the “crazy left” was responsible for the attack, despite the fact that most liberals have an aversion to guns.

Jeez, what’s it gonna take to get the media to learn/admit the difference between “liberals” and “the left” if not even literal gun violence can do it?

Sounds like it doesn’t bode well for the future of DIMMs at all, TBH.

“To enable the massive 256GB/s memory bandwidth that Ryzen AI Max delivers, the LPDDR5x is soldered,” writes Framework CEO Nirav Patel in a post about today’s announcements. “We spent months working with AMD to explore ways around this but ultimately determined that it wasn’t technically feasible to land modular memory at high throughput with the 256-bit memory bus. Because the memory is non-upgradeable, we’re being deliberate in making memory pricing more reasonable than you might find with other brands.”

😒🍎

If it were backend, Voyager would be slow too because it’s requesting the same data.

Maybe Voyager connects to the backend using something other than XmlHttpRequest.

It is absolutely not neutral because it leaves out the important half of the story, which is that the whole exercise of publishing that data is nothing but a misdirection tactic. Again, we know this from Project 2025 and various public statements that had been made previously, so there’s no excuse for the AP to be so excessively credulous that they mislead rather than inform.

The AP is parroting the Big Lie. It is absolutely biased and unacceptable!

It can’t be the backend because it’s got to query the same data whether it’s feeding the web UI or Voyager, so that wouldn’t explain the vast loading time differences between them. If the backend were slow they would both be slow, but Voyager’s load times are great.

Political dynasties are a sign of a healthy, just, and equitable democracy.

This shit is not “non-biased!” By taking Musk’s claimed intent at face value even though the AP knows Project 2025 is a thing, they are blatantly spinning the coverage in the regime’s favor.

What would actually be non-biased would be to accurately report what’s actually happening, not to uncritically accept and repeat bald-faced lies!

Cool story, bro 👍

Too bad it’s irrelevant because saving money was never anything but a red herring in the first place. The purpose of DOGE is to purge the Federal government of relatively-impartial career bureaucratic and install MAGA loyalist stooges in their place. “Efficiency” has fuck-all to do with it, except in the sense of efficiently inflicting their extremist agenda on us all.

Wake me up when the AP quits naively pretending Musk is acting in good faith and starts doing its damn job.

I’m surprised Lemmy apparently has had hardly any penetration into the Spanish-speaking world yet. Is there some other Reddit-like service that’s popular with those folks?

Also a long those lines, I wonder what services the Indians and Chinese are using?

That’s true, but it doesn’t mean truly communist ideas don’t exist. Both the Fediverse and Free Software, as concepts, are pretty darn “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” if you think about it, ya know?

I’m pretty sure .world being slow is a web frontend problem. It often takes forever to load in my browser, but the same content loads quickly in the Voyager Android app.

I should probably try the several alternative web UIs they have available to see if they’re faster than the default one, but I can’t be bothered to walk over to my desktop PC right now.

Or maybe just your app isn’t ready, and you should switch apps (it renders correctly as an image hidden behind a toggle on Voyager).

What we need is a gloom & doom venting megathread (I almost misspelled it as “negathread,” LOL).

Brave’s business model is a crypto scam wrapped in a protection racket. It man-in-the-middles the site’s ads, replacing them with Brave’s own, then holds the revenue hostage unless the site gives legitimacy to Brave’s crypto by accepting it as payment.

For comparison, “normal” ad-blocking consists of an end-user exercising his property right to control the operation of his own computer by programming it not to display the ads at all.

Hopefully you can see how the thing Brave does is very different, and much more ethically fraught.

they are actually underperforming compared to the rest of the population

They always do, which is a big part of why the “FairTax[sic]” is such a scam.

And by “always,” I mean literally without exception, because the difference between the working class and owner class is defined by it.

No, they’re not “cluing in.” They aren’t rejecting the regime’s disastrous and evil goals; they’re just squabbling for power within it.

Haha corn subsidies go brrrrrrrr

they had to have someone remind everyone that the glue pattern posted at every station where it’s applied isn’t just a suggestion, it’s an engineering requirement for the structural integrity of the part. People were just slapping the adhesive onto shit in any old way they pleased a lot of the time.

In other words, the things were being designed by underqualified engineers who didn’t understand factors of safety, design for manufacturability, or that precision comes at a cost.
