Lol, they won’t. But don’t worry - after they fail the American taxpayer will have to pay the bail out regardless

That whole “civilizational erasure” quote was so vague, grand and threatening that it sounded just like it came straight out of kremlin. It’s the kind of bullshit declaration russians love to make

Discord probably did the math and are willing to take a hit to the user counts (much like reddit did when they closed the apis), as the vast majority will stay and keep “threatening” to leave. There’s at least the hope that the ones who quit now will establish communities elsewhere, on a (hopefully) better server platform.

targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown

Oh ffs, they’re not doing enough because they’ve submitted to him! They literally went to his inauguration to kiss the ring!

But better to wake up late then never I suppose

I mean DDR3 is provably fine. I ran a 16GB DDR3 machine with a goddamn 2500k up until several years ago and pre-2020 games usually ran fine, on playable framerates ( i did have win7, not sure how win10 fares ). Question is: who is this article for? Most tech enhusiasts have probably moved on by now, and even those are a small subset of PC users. “Normies”? Those moved on to phones and tables - it’s why MS Windows has lost 400million machines in 3 years. So who are all these people so left behind that DDR3 is an upgrade but are still currently itching to buy ram? I don’t get it.

The actual number of applications was not disclosed.

So then the article doesn’t really say much, does it. It could well be 20->31 applicants.

True, but it looks like it may have been a railway issue on that (recently renovated) sector.

AGAIN? Holy crap, if this wasn’t sabotage then heads need to roll in that ministry

For an article quoting a study, this one is embarrasingly short on actual references or links to the reddit subs and posts it mentions. There’s literally only a link to the 2018 study and the rest coild well be speculation.

Now I don’t know about corporate manipulation, but what I can confirm I’ve seen is a lot of small businesses using reddit to shift opinions. For example: local rental car providers on the madeira sub. Or food retailers on my local city’s sub.

And, more worryingly, there’s an absurd amount of political propaganda. For example the waves of accounts on my native language sub supporting absolutely everything a political party does. Or the blatant manipulation being done on conservative. Or the sudden vanishing of near all kamala-supporting accounts in the morning following american election night. It’s absolutely astounding.

Sadly it may actually be your ram. I had a 1660 until a couple months ago and the card kept up fine, at least for older games. With 16gb of memory though my system kept bottlenecking. Upgrading to 32 was like a breath of fresh air

Man, imagine the paranoia. You literally have a russian puppet for president, but are worried about infiltrations by communist spies from Cuba.

I imagined the law would be enforced by a deal with google and some global android state approved keylogger/backdoor completely bypassing all apps including Signal. But yeah, I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around this.

I don’t understand how this “threat” is supposed to work. If the law passes won’t any and all chat encryption be affected? In that case it doesn’t matter how you get the app, or if you manage to get it in europe. Its encryption will be broken/unavailable.

Time to fire up Anno 2205

Does anybody have the original study? I tried to find it but the link is dead ( looks like NANDA pulled it )

This reads just like the news we had of antiwar protesters in russia a few years ago. Except you know, it’s the uk this time.

Even if they wanted to bank on the adblocker thing I imagine they can’t because they have to stay in Google’s good graces. Like 90% of their revenue was google money, and has been for years now.

At this point I’d honestly even pay for a privacy focused mozilla browser that is clean of all this crap, just to keep them afloat, but fat chance of that happening.

Yeah, the german lemmy went nuts with it last year. It was beautiful. Just search for Stör

Can’t wait for that LLM to become a reddit-hating bloodthirsty linux obsessed furry femboy communist tankie with a weird fondness for beans, star trek and sturgeon

Like they got somethin to say
