PC speed gains erased by modern software

twas always thus, software development is gaseous in that it expands to take up all the area it is placed inside, this is both by the nature of software engineering taking the quickest route to solving any action, as well as by design of collusion between operating system manufacturers (read Microsoft and Apple) and the hardware platform manufacturers they support and promote. this has been happening since the dawn of personal computer systems, when leapfrogging processor, ram, hard drive, bus, and network eventually leads to hitherto improbably extravagant specs bogged down to uselessness. it's the bane and very nature of the computing ecosphere itself.

How Twitter lost its place as the global town square

Twitter didn't lose anything, Musk bought Twitter because he thought it'd be a goof to trash, and because he wanted access to Saudi Arabian markets to sell his electric cars and rocket ships.

These stories are so fucking annoying because they purposely miss the point of what's actually happened.

Elon Musk personal worth went up 97 Billion dollars since he bought Twitter, he's now worth, on paper 248 Billion. He can take a complete loss on the investment, and not be any the poorer in real terms.

There's Now a Rapid, Accurate COVID-19 Air Detector

This is fantastic, the downside of course, if the general population being taught by their governments that COVID isn't to be feared, but lived with, and most importantly "worked through". The capitalist system doesn't function without it's workers, and the corporations don't want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling everyone that COVID is over, and there was nothing to fear in the first place, while in the span of 12 months over One Million Americans died. Corporations, aided by the Right Wing bigots, don't want COVID air detectors anywhere, as they would invariably detect COVID. Reminds me of that movie where the king said to save arrows, and send in the infantry, because arrows cost money, and people cost nothing.

Kenya plots vile anti-homosexuality law to ‘kick LGBT people out the country completely’

Every time you patronize Chick-fil-A, some of that money you're spending is given by Chick-Fil-A's owners, The Cathys which they use to fund violent and deadly "christian" anti homosexuality legislation in the third world, after decades of doing the same exact thing in the US, which sees LGBTQ in Africa, Asia, and South America tortured and brutally murdered just for being gay. They've been doing this for decades.

No chicken sandwich is worth the abuse and murder of gay people. Why don't you know this, and if you do know, why don't you care?

Russian Wagner chief Prigozhin: "We have crossed state borders ... We'll destroy anything that gets in the way. ... We go all the way."

If at this point, after everything, you don't see Putin as Hitler part deux bringing the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust, after invading the sovereign nation of Ukraine while employing such measures as Genocidal slaughter, rape, targeting of civilians, and child kidnap, well, so, I don't know what to tell you. We've seen 30 years of Putins reign which has only brought us all to the brink of World War 3, and killed so many in the process.

Vlad has got to go, by any means necessary, by anyone willing. We deal with what comes next, next

Following Lemmy Users on Mastodon

things on both mastodon and lemmy are incredibly slow over the past two days, due to the overwhelming twitter/reddit mass migration, i would give it a week before honestly evaluating whether or not posts which should show up, are showing up on either platform in a timely manner
