Absolutely. They’ve been trying to increase the retirement age for years now.

It’s actually lower in the poor-er regions.

Other platforms with ads haven’t really seen people move off those platforms. I feel like once it reaches that critical mass of being nearly ubiquitous it takes a massive problem to push people off of it. Look at SMS in the US and how it’s refused to die compared to other markets because it has reached saturation and now the only challenge to that ubiquity is iMessage who basically lives off being a fake SMS service.

I’d personally love to see retired people getting into DnD for the first time. I imagine if everyone is retired it’d be easier to schedule out.

Depends what JVM I can beat with the shoe

The follow up question is what chip can run Doom.

I agree with you but they’re not going to see sales go down and decide to make less profitable decisions. Like Netflix, people said they were going to stop paying for it because the price hikes and the account sharing but they’re making better margins now.

We need to stop only boycotting and seek legal action. Antitrust Apple.

I think private investment is awful but I’m being dogmatic in that stance.

If we want to split hairs, the US power grid is also privately owned and allowed bidders to set the price forever.

But one is decarbonizing and the other is not.

The Detroit Three’s union contracts will mean wage increases of 25% through 2028, which will amount to 33% when expected cost-of-living adjustments are factored in.

I don’t know how much they were making before but that looks like just enough to cover inflation over the past couple years.

12% of Uruguay’s GDP into renewables to get there. That’s impressive.

12% of the US’ GDP would be 2.7 trillion dollars. Or a bit more than 3 years of the US millitary budget.

I don’t how that should make me feel any better 😀 . But I don’t know if ground is a good enough sink for that.

The ground temp in Utah for instance is like 50 degrees F roughly all year long. Coiling tubing under the parking lots of these facilities should be enough to remove all the heat and potentially melt all the snow during the winter.

I don’t think they’re going to consider renewables for cooling alone when the entire operation needs enormous amounts of power that cannot be satisfied by renewables.

I’m not talking for cooling but powering the servers. Something renewables could do if they don’t have to power air conditioning for the servers.

If it make you feel better, they could do it all with one closed loop and just use the ground as the sink.

They could then power it entirely off solar panels and Iron air or sodium batteries.

But these decisions aren’t being made by people looking for sustainability but capitalists looking for profits. They’d cool their servers with the blood of children if it saved them money.

At consumer prices. There’s no way Apple doesn’t pay wholesale rates for memory.

Lol just hold onto it forever “one day I’ll use this”

At least you finish your projects to a point that you even consider a domain. My depressed ass never makes it that far.

For the price of memory vs the price of the laptop combined with the fact that it’s non-upgradable and unified memory it is some complete bullshit that an $80 Raspberry Pi has as much memory as an $1800 laptop

But THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!1!

Disregard how 1184 children died in the US to cars and 162,298 were injured in 2021 alone

Back when you used to be able to buy bigger batteries that gave your laptop a big ol ass

What if it’s a laptop?

You’re never going to completely stop all malicious forks. Perfect is the enemy of progress, as you say. Even with the license they have, there will be malicious forks and there will be windows of time where people will be taken advantage of.

Someone who advocated for the right to repair shouldn’t be against the right to repair software just because it’s not elegant or less friendly to everyone.
