The other RAM companies already sold literally all of their silicon wafer volume to OpenAI. Micron is the one taking advantage of the situation. That’s why they aren’t going to sell to consumers, there’s otherwise zero RAM supply, and they can make significantly more money manufacturing HBM memory, instead of DDR.

So yes, AI data centers made RAM price skyrocket by buying 2/3s of the global RAM supply, Micron reacted (not caused) by deciding to maximize the profit from their remaining 1/3 of the global supply, and no, the other companies will not make RAM more expensive because there literally is no more RAM to sell.

Developer makes a game that depicts children engaging in sex fetish acts with adults, gets banned from Steam, ages up the in-game children to young adult age instead, plays dumb and tries to act like they’ve been victimized by Valve

Or how full an opaque bottle of water is when you pick it up, just by feeling how it sloshes inside the container. Our brains are doing some serious math

Hmm, only Mastodon is mentioned for this feature in the ActivutyPub spec… I’m not sure if it’s the only service that has implemented this fully or if it’s just the example used.

That’s ashame, because account mobility is the most important tool for healthy decentralization. The reason Facebook or Twitter can “get away with” implementing such shitty policies and abusing their users is because the users are locked in, with a high cost to switching platforms.

The cost is highest for accounts like small businesses that live and die by social media marketing, once they have an established presence and successfully built a following on a platform, it is very risky for them to give that up and start over on a new one.

I thought we could easily migrate accounts between Fediverse instances and that that was a core feature of ActivityPub for preventing a single instance from dominating and effectively centralizing the Fediverse?

Does piefed not support account migration?

It doesn’t count as “end to end” encrypted if the service is one of the ends. That’s just HTTPS.

Never had one issue with it.

“Your example proved me wrong so it is a bad example!” LOL

You’re wrong. Proof by counter example: SteamOS

EDIT: you can downvote me but you’re still wrong

CachyOS?

Oh

I was buying 64GB DDR4 kits for like $115 not long ago. I get that your example is DDR5 but still, $250 for only 32GB is quite absurd

Slowly building a new PC thats not jank on Linux.

Sounds like you’ve done it. Unless you’ve got an unfotunate wifi card or something, still

Hoarding on one side, cartel price fixing on the other.

I have 5800X3D and 64GB RAM so compilation is not a problem for me, especially if I just run updates overnight

It may be totally fine, it’s just a (at least perceived) can of worms that I didn’t want to open, especially when steam is the only reason I’d need to deal with it. I definitely had trouble with it in the past but probably my own fault.

I don’t know if it is a real solution but can 64-bit be emulated on a 32-bit system?

Cannot wait for the day I can uninstall flatpak steam on my Gentoo system and just install through portage, without dealing with 32 bit libraries

The RAM on GPUs is not getting cheaper. It is actually what is driving up all RAM costs.

It’s still the same spice where I buy it. There is also the 2x spicy
