The sales of consumer GPUs make up a veeeery tiny percentage of nvidias revenue. Nvidia could stop selling consumer GPUs tomorrow and it wouldn't even make a noticeable dent in their revenues. And what other options do u really have? Any other company ain't much better.

Cos there are enough dumb people who are ready to pay for this shit.

Same with lootboxes in gaming, everyone hates them but there are enough people purchasing them so that the companies can keep pulling shit like this off.

Well, we currently are controlling rivers via climate change - making them vanish. We see this currently with the Rhine and the Danube, both their water levels are at a record low, leading to shutdown of nuclear powerplants cos they can't be cooled anymore and massive economic damages since ships can't transport as much stuff compared to when the water level is high.

Yeah that's gonna turn into a homeless people hotspot

We do not need to spend more on defense, cos there is no threat. I mean Russia is losing against Ukraine, how tf are they supposed to be a threat for the rest of europe? And neither China nor India are threating Europe. The only answer I MIGHT accept is defense against the USA.

Well obviously enough people are buying burgers at those prices, otherwise restsurants wouldn't be able to charge those prices.

It's kinda like with lootboxes, feels like everyone hates them, but they must get purchased a lot, otherwise they wouldn't be so ubiquitous.

Kinda makes me wonder how many people are really affected by the cost of living crisis, or do people simply buy things no matter the pricetag and that NOT purchasing something is simply NOT something that crosses their minds?

Considering AI companies are now buying up books written pre-2022, those should still have value.

Prolly they all live in a big city. And living in a big city sucks ass, but most people have no choice because that's where the jobs are. I luckily live outside a big city in small village with forests and fields around me. But still near enough a medium-sized city so that I don't have to commute for ages. But I see that not everyone can live in places like mine, so the big city it is, where it is loud and full. Kinda understandable that u want to get away from it, then. But yeah, it doesn't mean that u need to fly to other side of the earth to do vacation, usually your own country has enough pretty spots to spend ur vacation.

'Ultras' of any football club should be categorized as domestic terror groups or whatever. No matter the country, all they do is just smear graffiti, destroy public property, be drunk, starting fighta and being generally obnoxious POS. Football clubs should be liable for any damage those mfs do. And if that means that they need to raise ticket prices, good. Maybe this will discourage those mfs from going to the stadium.

Millenials and Gen Z are helping to combat this problem by having fewer kids. And yet, Billionaires complain about that, too. Lol.

Makes you wonder why housing prices in Canada are so ridiculously high then when they have so much free land space.

Is that a US thing only? Cos I haven't seen this crap here in germany, fortunately.

Unfortunately that doesn't happen, because EU put tariffs on Chinese EVs. And then they are complaing why EV adaption doesn't happen as quickly as they would like, lol.

Not really, the UI and stuff like keyboard shortcuts are completely different (like the command key for example, wtf is this). When I switched to Linux, it was really intuitive. Stuff was in the places I expected them to be. Definitely not the case case with MAC OS. Had to constantly google how to do the most basic stuff. Linux really is easier to switch to than Mac OS if you come from Windows.

Nah, mods from every political view do ban users randomly.

Didn't Musk start his own party last year or so? I remember sth about a party called the 'American Party'.

I guess because of server costs and stuff like that. I am sure Lemmy currently can't handle the amount users Reddit has. And without ads there is no income stream of money to handle the costs.

Cos it's legal there

Subreddit mods getting a taste of their own medicine by Reddit admins lol

That's why I prefer traveling by car. Public transport in theory is nice, but in practice it is ruined by obnoxious people.
