Even if they don’t make it, the whole fact that the aviation industry goes less CO2 intensive would be a good win.

Halving the population would definitely help, but some country populations have a lot lower impact than others.

The real problem is the consumerism mentality, where we need to buy even bigger cars, TVs, houses, clothes, etc.

This is what destroys our planet. And even if the population halves, this trend can negate much of the effect.

Yes, this makes us even more ignorant. At some point in the past I was kind of hopeful we as united humanity can overcome this problem, like with the ozone layer hole, but then these individualistic policies started to sweep over the world and people started to care about other problems more.

To be honest DRAM was dirt cheap for quite a while and the profit margins of those companies were razor thin. Only recently they saw a surge in demand and they are exploiting it to enrich themselves but also increasing the manufacturing capacity is a lengthy and costly process which I presume some of those companies are actively trying to delay, in order to preserve their fat profit margins now.

Competition is good though and hopefully will lower the price overall faster.

Unfortunately the problem with global warming is that it happens very slowly over time. Scientists were warning us of the impacts of global warming for at least a decade but we have somehow prioritized the short term gains and now we and our children will bear the fruits of our negligence.

It doesn’t help that the hardware is also quite dated. If they release a more powerful version this at least would justify the price increase to some point, but with the current HW, it is a hard no for me.

Can you tell me the number of casualties on both sides. Let’s take kids for example. And then tell me who is massacring who exactly.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can still claim you are the victim when numbers tell a completely different story.

The beauty is when those companies run out of human training data and start training on AI slop, just to generate even more AI slop.

This is probably already happening though.

Today’s atomic bombs are way more powerful than the ones dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Humanity hasn’t learned anything from history.

Until next year, when they will be just 6 weeks to a nuclear bomb.

It depends on the country you are living in. There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet.

Manjaro was quite messy last time I tried it a couple of years ago.

Yes, so pretty much they don’t want to be held responsible. And the government is bending over to comply with the tech bros.

But how would they know I have been truthful about my age? I mean I am never putting my real age when registering on websites.

Why do they need the age after all. What are authorities going to do with it?

That’s a great question. I like the concept of more stable OS and I played a bit with NixOS in the past but ultimately decided that it is too much of a hassle to learn Nix to use it and decided to try Bluefin. I am actually overall content as I was able to install the missing packages either in Toolbox/Distrobox or using homebrew.

By the way I have actually found a way, and rebased my OS to another immutable flavor. I know that’s more of a workaround.

Oh man, this sucks. Fuck cancer!

I wish you all the best and I know you will win this fight. Stay strong, brother!

And when you stop working or fall ill, you become homeless. Great outlook, buddy.

Why don’t you get some Intel Arc GPU, I think at the moment they are the best bang for your buck.

I would say this PC isn’t great on paper. The PSU is too weak and if you decide to upgrade in the future you would most likely need to change it. The 8Gb VRAM is also suboptimal, as well as the SSD size.

Not to mention that most of the pre-built PCs are cutting corners and probably this PSU would be no-name and I wouldn’t trust it.

You should target a 750W PSU from a respectable brand, with a bronze or silver rating (gold or platinum is even better, but it depends on the price). A GPU with at least 12Gb VRAM and at least 1Tb SSD. Optionally, I would even advise you to get 32Gb RAM if you can find at an OK price, because next year or so this is supposed to be extremely expensive and it will make your PC more future proof.

It’s not only trump, that’s the sad thing. Trump is just a puppet, controlled by people behind the curtains. Look at this project 2025. There are plenty of powerful people who are pulling the strings of Trump and the next Republican candidate.

Long gone are the days when politicians were actually working for their voters. Now it is all about social media propaganda. And guess what, making education unaffordable works wonders for those people. They don’t want rational human beings, they just want easy to control and manipulate sheep.
