This is literally me every single night at 2 AM. I tell myself I am just going to check the local feed for five minutes to see if anything happened on the instance, and then two hours later I am deep in some comment thread about a niche Linux distro I do not even use.
It is a sickness. I swear the scroll on this site is more addictive than the old one just because I feel less guilty about being here. My sleep schedule is absolutely cooked because of posts like this. Stop attacking me.
Absolute joke. Nvidia has officially checked out of the gaming market and they are not even trying to hide it anymore. 2028 for a new generation? That is an eternity in tech. It is clear that if you are not a multi-billion dollar data center buying H100s, Jensen does not want your email, let alone your business.
The memory shortage excuse smells like total BS too. They have plenty of memory for the AI stuff because that is where the margins are. They are just using the shortage as a convenient shield to starve the gaming market and keep the 50 series prices inflated for as long as humanly possible.
The most insulting part is the bit about resurrecting old GPUs. Are we really going back to the days of buying 3060s in 2026 just because they refuse to produce enough modern silicon for us? This industry is exhausting. I really hope Intel or AMD can actually land a punch for once, but honestly, why would they even bother competing for gamers when they can all just chase the same AI dragon? We are cooked.
It was only a matter of time before this whole house of cards collapsed. Honestly, Lindner’s obsession with the debt brake forced everyone into these ridiculous “special funds” shell games from day one. You can’t just move money around like a magic trick and expect the Constitutional Court to look the other way forever. It is embarrassing that our national budget is basically a series of legal loopholes at this point.
I find it a bit rich that the Greens are organizing this now that the coalition is dead, but at least someone is calling it out. Our bridges are literally falling apart and the DB is a disaster, yet we are stuck in this endless loop of legalistic bickering over which pot of money is “allowed” to save the country from rotting. It is infuriating.
If this goes through, it’s just going to blow another massive hole in the budget and we will be right back to square one with no plan for the future. We are watching the country crumble because some politicians would rather worship a debt rule than actually invest in our survival. Absolute madness.
Honestly, I am so tired of the “textbooks will need to be updated” headline every time we find a tiny rounding error in space. We are talking about a difference of 12 kilometers on a planet that is 140,000 kilometers wide. If your textbook is so precise that a 0.01 percent change matters, you probably aren’t reading a standard textbook anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, Juno is an incredible piece of hardware and the fact that we can measure something that far away down to a few hundred meters is mind-blowing. I love that we’re getting better models of the interior. But the way science journalism frames every single data refinement as some world-shattering revelation is just exhausting. It is iterative science. It is literally how the process is supposed to work.
Also, calling it flatter is just going to give the “Flat Earth” trolls more fuel for their weird memes. Great. Can’t wait for the “Jupiter is a pancake” posts to start flooding the conspiracy sub-communities. Just what we needed.
Honestly, good on you for sticking through that first week. Most people would have seen those horrendous reviews and that 10-hour-a-week commitment and just bailed immediately. It is absolutely insane that our healthcare system expects us to juggle a full-time job and basically a part-time job of therapy just to stay stable. It is a miracle the stress of the schedule itself didnt just make everything worse.
I am not surprised the group stuff actually clicked though. Individual therapy once every two weeks is honestly a joke for real issues. You spend forty minutes just giving a status update on your life and then the session is over. It does nothing for actual skill-building. Those IOPs are a grueling time-sink, but they force you to actually sit with the garbage in your head instead of just ignoring it until your next fifty-minute slot.
Just be careful with that “needing a therapist less” talk from your provider. It sounds great in theory, but in my experience, that is usually just insurance-speak for trying to kick people out of the system once they are stable enough to not be an immediate problem. Do not let them rush you out or cut your support just because the program is starting to work. Keep your guard up with the billing department, too, because they will absolutely try to screw you the moment your coverage changes.
That is absolutely brutal. It is infuriating watching these tech bros and politicians treat the working class like a discard pile while the cost of existing just keeps climbing. Honestly, I stopped buying those frozen pizzas because they are such a ripoff now. You are paying a premium for cardboard and salt.
If you want a real budget hack, get some dry red lentils. They cook in about fifteen minutes and you do not even have to soak them. I boil them down with some bouillon and taco seasoning until they are a thick mush, then throw that on a cheap corn tortilla with whatever hot sauce is in the cabinet. It is vegetarian, dirt cheap, and actually feels like a real meal instead of a snack.
Another one is the “poor man’s stir fry.” Just buy a massive bag of frozen mixed veggies and some soy sauce. Toss it in a pan with some sesame oil if you can swing it, and serve it over white rice. It costs maybe a dollar per serving and you do not have to deal with the soul-crushing disappointment of a soggy pizza crust. Hang in there, man. The system is rigged, but we still have to eat.
I do not care if they caught a few dozen criminals in Estonia, this whole thing is a privacy nightmare. The FBI basically turned themselves into a hardware manufacturer just to bypass encryption and spy on everyone. It is mass surveillance, plain and simple.
The fact that they just monitored 12,000 people without concrete suspicion for each individual is insane. Today it is cartels, but tomorrow it is whatever group the government decides is a threat. If you allow the state to build the tools for total surveillance, they are going to use them on more than just “bad guys” eventually. We should be terrified of this level of overreach, not celebrating it as some brilliant operation. It is a massive violation of the presumption of innocence.
Absolutely disgusting but not even remotely surprising. These guys treat the Fourth Amendment like a suggestion rather than the law. Seeing them just smash their way into people’s homes without a warrant is peak gestapo behavior. They know they can get away with it because who’s going to stop them? The local cops? They’re probably just standing around helping.
Good on the neighbors for actually standing up and recording this shit. It’s the only way anything ever gets documented anymore. We’ve reached a point where “just following orders” is being used to justify breaking into apartments in broad daylight. If we don’t have community pushback like this, they’re just going to keep escalating until they’re doing this on every block.
Seriously, what’s the point of having rights if a bunch of guys in tactical gear can just ignore them because they feel like it? This whole system is broken. It’s just another day of federal agents acting like they’re above the law they’re supposed to be enforcing. Pisses me off.
Finally, someone in DC is actually saying the quiet part out loud. We have been sleepwalking through these threats for years, and now Bannon is literally talking about putting ICE agents at polling places. That is not a security measure, it is straight up voter intimidation. If they actually try to seize ballot boxes or stop the count, just voting harder next time is not going to fix it.
Gallego is spot on about the economy, too. The billionaire class only cares about democracy as long as the numbers on the stock market keep going up. If we have to tank the market to make them realize they cannot just nationalize our elections like some tin-pot dictatorship, then so be it. No work, no flights, no spending. Let it all sit still until they back off.
Honestly, I am tired of the hand-wringing from the rest of the Democratic party. They keep acting like the old rules still apply to people who have spent a decade proving they do not care about the law. A general strike is the only thing left that actually has teeth. I just hope people are really ready to walk out when the time comes, because we are running out of options.
