@tribelaw "Student loan forgiveness" is the executive branch trying to launder money. You think those college professors are just gonna "forgive" $10K? No. They'll get their money by siphoning it out of taxpayers without their consent. That's what you mean by "student loan forgiveness".

@dou_jinshi Not the wildest take I’ve ever heard. I can even see the financial impetus. Of course, can’t speak to any evidence, but you did plainly admit it was a schizo-theory.

I have a schizo-theory about the RAM crisis. All of this is just a charade to try and bury Valve and Steam. AMD holds a monopoly on the home console market and is preferred for Linux, so Valve choosing AMD silicon to power the Deck makes sense to minimize development time. So, if AMD raises the prices of the SoCs that Valve use to power the Deck, then the price of the hardware will be passed on to the eventual purchaser. Nvidia, being the main pioneer for AI, has manipulated the market in a way to raise RAM prices to astronomical heights due to Steam still being preferred over Nvidia's cloud gaming retarded shit in addition to Valve changing their game policies to where it must be transparent that AI was used for game development. So, Valve cannot build systems at reasonable prices. This will in turn make Valve look evil because they cannot subsidize their hardware with the cost of games because that is not how Steam is structured. Sony and Microslop both have switched back to "console-exclusivity". This will inevitable result in games being optimized for 60FPS on aging hardware, but they will not be optimized past that because there is no benefit from the shareholder perspective. This seems like a knee-jerk reaction to Steam being ready to push a "estimated performance" metric to their platform. So, if games are optimized to hit the "absolute minimum of 60FPS" then no one will complain about poor performance. This will damage Valve and Steam's reputation. AMD will not see any harm because they hold a console monopoly with their "diet Nvidia" technologies. Nvidia will not see any harm because, IIRC, their profits all come from AI; about 93% of their profits I believe. And they don't want you actually owning anything. AMD, Sony and Xbox will all work out backroom deals that keeps performance parity to one another while also prohibiting anyone from making better performing games for the hardware that AMD supplies. All of this to say... IF VALVE AND STEAM FALL, WE HAVE REACHED 1984. Also, fuck you @TimSweeneyEpic for pushing Unreal Slop to the mainstream. Goddamned retard.

@IsaacHayes3 I think you didn't actually pay any attention to the trial and you're just saying this because you either feel racial animus against white people, or feel you can profiteer off of saying something that is obviously predicated on a lie.

Isaac Hayes III@IsaacHayes3·
The Karmelo Anthony verdict shows that the justice system has reverted back to the Jim Crow South era. It is no longer about evidence. It is no longer about right or wrong. It is about keeping racial score through the prosecution and imprisonment of Black people. It was no surprise that an all white jury would find a 19 year old kid, who was bullied and harassed by two 6’1” bullies, guilty of murder while he was minding his business. We have seen this story before. A young Black man is put on trial, and somehow the burden shifts from what happened to him, to why he should not have defended himself. The facts become secondary. The optics become everything. The outcome feels predetermined long before the verdict is read. People will tell you not to make it about race. But race has always been part of the story in America. The hard truth is that many Black people no longer believe they will receive the benefit of the doubt when their freedom is on the line. And verdicts like this are exactly why. At some point, we have to stop pretending that everyone is playing by the same set of rules. Because the people watching this case saw something very different than what that jury claimed to see.

@bee_fumo Game streaming from a cloud server means it doesn’t run on my hardware, and doesn’t have most games I actually want to play.

It's cool but what Nvidia/MS provides is the gaming server and high speed internet required to stream from anywhere.
Nav Toor@heynavtoor

NVIDIA charges you $19.99 a month to stream games you already own. And starting January 2026, they cap you at 100 hours. One engineer from New Zealand built the free version with no cap. It is called Steam Headless. 3,177 stars on GitHub. GPL-2.0. Built by Josh Sunnex. 225 commits. The next contributor has 16. He has done more work than everyone else combined. It is a Docker container that turns any spare PC, server, or NAS into your own personal cloud gaming machine. Install Steam inside it. Mount your games folder. Open a browser on your phone, your laptop, your tablet, your TV. Your games are right there. Streaming. From your own hardware. To anywhere in the world. It supports NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs. It streams over Moonlight, Steam Link, or straight to a web browser. It runs Proton so Windows games work on Linux. It installs Heroic, Lutris, and EmuDeck with one click for your non-Steam games. It runs on Debian Trixie, Unraid, Ubuntu Server, or Docker Compose. Last update: April 20, 2026. Still maintained. Still by one man from New Zealand. Now compare the math. GeForce NOW Ultimate: $19.99 a month. $239.88 a year. Forever. Capped at 100 hours per month. Run out? Pay $5.99 for another 15 hours. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: $22.99 a month. $275.88 a year. Forever. You stream Microsoft's games on Microsoft's hardware on Microsoft's terms. Steam Headless: $0. Forever. Your hardware. Your games. Your network. No hour cap. No queue. No throttle. Buy a used GPU once. Run this container. Stream your entire Steam library to any device on the planet. That is the entire pitch. But DO NOT install it. We should all keep paying NVIDIA and Microsoft to play the games we already bought. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@AthletesInSpace "A republican losing the mayoral race in LA" seems to be intentionally stripping the context from the observation entirely. Also, the answer is yes. Democrats have rather famously been crying "cheating" every time a republican wins the White House for the past 20 or so years.

I’ll say it again, I don’t know how we can function as a country when half of the voters think a Republican losing the mayoral race in LA is evidence of a conspiracy or widespread corruption. Would anybody on the left respond this way if e.g. AOC lost the gubernatorial race in Oklahoma? We can’t function in a world where one of the major parties thinks elections are only legitimate when they win.

@Pallavi_345 Asynchronous codepaths actually being "faster" depends highly on what you're trying to accomplish, and what problem you are trying to solve. The real answer is, "async is not always the answer".

@factualmann I don't really think so, honestly. I think most people are not ready or do not have the patience or time to devote the responsibility that Linux vests you with, as the price for giving you great power. Linux far exceeds Windows imo, but there is a responsibility barrier.

@APRILIVY2005 I think you're describing a symptom and not the actual problem, personally. Things *can* be just as convenient on Linux. However, it's your responsibility to figure out how that works and implement it in most cases.

Every argument against Communism is a lie about Communism. No Communist will EVER say "not real Communism." It's all real Communism. It's all wildly successful. And only pocket-holding toadies and cowards too afraid to look for the truth will ever say otherwise.
Anti Kommunistic@antikommunistic

Every failed communist experiment gets the same excuse: “That wasn’t real communism.” If every attempt at building a plane ended in a crash, at what point do you stop blaming the pilots and start questioning the design?

@sleepy_devo I don't think the best treatment for a cognitive disconnect is necessarily permanently, surgically medicalizing someone. It rings the same to me as arguing that the best treatment for autism is a lobotomy.

@sleepy_devo You're doing the meme. You know what it is, its all so performative. You have to act unintentionally clueless so that you can ignore everything that doesn't fit neatly into your worldview. Even minor dissension is punished thoroughly and immediately. It's a cult...

I have many concerns about AI/LLMs. But Sanders’ idea of seizing AI-related Tech companies and “giving them to the public” is stupid. And horrific. This is, literally, “seizing the means of production”. This is theft. This is growing the power of the Federal Government while decreasing the power of citizens. This is Communism. It’s been tried before. It doesn’t go well.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

@vitalyster @eiranoirx This is sincerely boring the shit out of me. If you want to change people's minds about Electron, the way to do it is not to meet their observations with "ah-ha, but you see, it's multiplatform! Electron isn't the problem! It's the Chromium Javascript VM!"

@dmawlf @eiranoirx Good, so now it’s “Chromium is the problem,” not “Electron.” And to be precise: the Electron native wrapper is not the performance bottleneck here. The cost is overwhelmingly in Chromium/V8, not the thin native C++ layer. So say Chromium if that’s what you mean.

Electron hate is one of the most confidently wrong opinions in tech. People say it like they've cracked something open. "Discord is just a website." "VS Code is Chrome with a titlebar." Yeah, and your kitchen knife is just shaped metal. The framing tells you nothing about whether the thing is actually good. Writing a real cross-platform native app is brutally hard, and not because the logic is complicated. Every platform has different UI conventions, different system APIs, different accessibility models, different font rendering, different input handling. Write a macOS app in Swift and it looks great on macOS and doesn't exist anywhere else. Want Windows? WinUI, WPF, take your pick, each with its own learning curve and its own special set of things that don't quite work right. Linux? Qt or GTK, both of which produce apps that feel slightly wrong on every platform they target, and you're maintaining all of this in parallel, same features across three codebases, three bug trackers, three build pipelines, three sets of platform-specific nonsense to debug Or use Electron with just oneOne codebase. "Electron uses too much RAM." VS Code idles around 150-300MB on a typical project. Sounds bad until you check what else is open. Chrome with four tabs is using 800MB. Your JetBrains IDE, fully native, compiled to the JVM, is sitting at 1.2GB before you've opened a single file. The native Slack alternative someone built in Qt uses 90MB, sure, but it also hasn't shipped a new feature in two years and the emoji picker breaks on HiDPI and nobody is fixing it. Memory is cheap. The RAM argument is almost always made by people who don't look at what their "good" native apps are actually consuming. Chromium is good. It is one of the most tested, most optimized pieces of software running on consumer hardware right now. The rendering is fast. V8 is fast. The security model has sandboxed processes and site isolation baked in, which is more than most native apps bother with. Embedding it in a desktop framework is not a betrayal of some pure native ideal. It's using a genuinely good piece of engineering for a job it's good at. The app is not slop because it runs on Chromium. The app is slop if the team who built it didn't care. Those are different things. Maybe stop confusing them.
