SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet’s DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they’re fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they’re doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat… 40% of Earth’s RAM production.

It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

Ah, the “you also participate in society” line.

I guess nobody should ever make any moral stand, ever, because living in the 21st century means you’ve indirectly supported evil by default.

That’s true. I had it in my head that her cabinet wasn’t all that different from Sunak’s, but if I’m incorrect on that or there has been a cabinet reshuffle I’m unaware of, then that changes things somewhat, I agree.

No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

Socialism is not “when the government does things”.

Whenever the Tories say they’d do something, remember to ask why they didn’t do so in the 14 years they had, most of which with a decent sized majority.

I don’t disagree that social media is immensely harmful, especially for the youth. I can see very good arguments for there being more stringent age requirements.

But why didn’t you pursue this before if it’s what you believe in?

Nobody mentioned child labour.

Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

That’s probably because you’re a piece of shit.

Lemmy copying Reddit with the downvotes system is something that really frustrates me.

The downvote button is one of the most toxic things about Reddit. Nobody uses it the way it is supposedly intended to be used.

Lemmy saw that and thought great, let’s copy.

I don’t know whether they did it because they wanted to make a straight up Reddit clone, or whether they mistakenly thought Lemmy users would be above that kind of behaviour (lol), but either way it was a mistake IMO. It just encourages division.

Are you serious? Of course people should care if people are using their power and influence to strip certain people of their rights.

China is not Marxist-leninist lmao. They have a market economy.

State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.

Bullshit.

Tories raise net immigration to 1 million per year: I sleep

Labour drops net immigration down to 200k per year: omg why is immigration so high under Labour

I highly doubt this will happen, unfortunately.

All it takes is certain lobbyists and press saying it’s anti-Semitic and/or islamophobic and it’ll be dropped in a heartbeat.

Religious extremists need to join the 21st century. It angers me that we did such a great job of shifting away from the church having a stranglehold on our lives and laws, only to then accept shit like this. Freedom of religion should be about believing what you want, not doing what you want.

Fingers crossed, though.

The UK has been doing plenty of good, just look at the workers rights bill, renter’s rights bill, expansion of free school meals, expansion of breakfast clubs, massive increase in infrastructure investment, banning single use vapes, massive increase in tree plantations, massive increase in green energy/nuclear projects, big increase in pothole-filling, nationalisation of rail, quasi-nationalisation of steel production, large increases in the minimum wage, restarting SureStart, ending the two child benefit cap, getting closer to Europe again, extensive Ukraine support, etc.

It’s just that there’s also been a handful of bad things (e.g. OSA and other bits). And we all know what the billionaire-owned press and social media who are desperate to get the Tories/Reform in will focus on.

E: apparently some people hate those things. But I think they’re pretty good.

Why is musk this hellbent on producing and selling child porn?

This is a good change.

Although on the other hand, our possible next PM came out with some anti-vaccine bollocks recently, so I’m not sure how long sensible vaccination strategies will be in place for.

I’m also not sure how many Reform-brained people will end up not vaccinating their kids and end up compromising herd immunity for the rest of us.

This.

I’m really tired of people letting perfect behaviour the enemy of good in every single online discussion.

I’m very well aware that parental controls aren’t a 100% foolproof protection for my daughters, but that certainly doesn’t make them useless.

Based on that mentality we may as well not ban murder, because some people break the law anyway. We may as well not have vaccines, because no vaccine is 100% effective for all people. It’s so brain-dead.

The US is crazy, but I struggle to believe most voters fantasise about going around shooting people to death.

The woman was shot in the head three times at point-blank range. There’s nothing an ambulance could’ve done.

Red flag? Lmao
