Even assuming 25% of Twitter users are bots (probably a significant over estimate), and even if half of Twitter’s users quit in the next year, it would still be 150x bigger than mastodon

(Mastodon has ~1m MAUs, compared to ~421m for Twitter)

I’d love to live in a place with workable public transport, but where I live it would add an hour to my commute each way; effectively an extra 10 hours a week at work

I’m going to use that next time I need to bail out of a story I shouldn’t have started telling

Meanwhile, JD Vance sits in the corner sweating

And not just cos he’s sitting on a particularly sexy couch

Digging into it a bit more, it seems like I might be better off getting a 12gb 3060 - similar price point, but much newer silicon

Hah, I’ve pretty recently picked up an Epyc 7452, so not really looking for a new platform right now.

The Arc cards are interesting, will keep those in mind

Thanks for the tips! I’m looking for something multi-purpose for LLM/stable diffusion messing about + transcoder for jellyfin - I’m guessing that there isn’t really a sweet spot for those 3. I don’t really have room or power budget for 2 cards, so I guess a P40 is probably the best bet?

Personally I can’t wait for a few good bankruptcies so I can pick up a couple of high end data centre GPUs for cents on the dollar

sigh guess I need to go write another letter to my MP

Tbh, given how out of their way IBM went to enable the holocaust, I don’t think they really should be weighing in on this one

But I put the magic words in my profile that makes it ILLEGAL to use my personal data in any way! I know my rights and the law! I saw it in a YouTube video, and have an IQ of 150 (and have the certificate to PROVE IT!)

Good thing there hasn’t been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL

Looks like it’s an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it’s not running as a paravirtualised system, it’s having to emulate everything from the CPU up?

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn’t progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

Oh totally. There was an election and a change of government to one that is typically more business friendly, so I guess the hope was they’d roll back the rules but they were actually pretty popular with the public in general

This is New Zealand, but yeah, basically the same deal

Where I’m from, there was a huge egg shortage for a while because ~5 years ago the government passed new laws to try and make things marginally less horrible for chickens. The entire industry decided that they were going to do… basically nothing, then the rules came into force and there was lots of winging from industry people that 5 years want enough time, and how hard it was not being able to sell all this product that they kept producing for some reason

Ah yes, WordPress, renowned for it’s robust social engagement tools.

It’s the kind of decision you announce over Zoom so people don’t riot
