To be honest DRAM was dirt cheap for quite a while and the profit margins of those companies were razor thin. Only recently they saw a surge in demand and they are exploiting it to enrich themselves but also increasing the manufacturing capacity is a lengthy and costly process which I presume some of those companies are actively trying to delay, in order to preserve their fat profit margins now.
Competition is good though and hopefully will lower the price overall faster.
Unfortunately the problem with global warming is that it happens very slowly over time. Scientists were warning us of the impacts of global warming for at least a decade but we have somehow prioritized the short term gains and now we and our children will bear the fruits of our negligence.
It doesn't help that the hardware is also quite dated. If they release a more powerful version this at least would justify the price increase to some point, but with the current HW, it is a hard no for me.
Good ol' rclone
The beauty is when those companies run out of human training data and start training on AI slop, just to generate even more AI slop.
This is probably already happening though.
Today's atomic bombs are way more powerful than the ones dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Humanity hasn't learned anything from history.
Until next year, when they will be just 6 weeks to a nuclear bomb.
It depends on the country you are living in. There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet.
Manjaro was quite messy last time I tried it a couple of years ago.
Climate change is a real threat that will affect the lives of billions of people. The only difference is that it doesn't happen overnight and people are normalizing its effects.
I do agree with you that western religions seem to be another dividing factor and are used by certain individuals to control their own populations with populist bullshit.
The problem is not the religion per se, but the people who are using it to control the population. And this comes from an atheist.
Oh man, this sucks. Fuck cancer!
I wish you all the best and I know you will win this fight. Stay strong, brother!
Yes, this makes us even more ignorant. At some point in the past I was kind of hopeful we as united humanity can overcome this problem, like with the ozone layer hole, but then these individualistic policies started to sweep over the world and people started to care about other problems more.
