  • Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

    Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

    I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

    But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

    Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

    Although this story isn’t related, I’ve been trying to get the name JD Vance changed online to “Joy Division Vance” given his views on women.

    The future Joy Division Vance sees for American Women

    In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell or Freudenabteilungen “Joy Divisions”) to increase productivity among inmates, although these institutions were used mostly by Kapos, “prisoner functionaries” and the criminal element, because regular inmates, penniless and emaciated, were usually too debilitated and wary of exposure to Schutzstaffel (SS) schemes. In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners’ productivity levels, but instead, created a market for coupons among the camp VIPs.[1]

    The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only Ravensbrück concentration camp,[2] except for Auschwitz, which used its own prisoners.[3] In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.[3]

    And dirty my only bowl with something that’s already in a bowl like vessel that could be easily improved on to resolve the issue entirely?

    No.

    Plenty of dip correctly comes in wide containers. If people want to pour their salsa in/on to stuff, they can pay extra for tall jars with all this bowl money they apparently have.



  • The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.

    Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.


  • “The report marks the 15th human case of an H5-type bird flu infection in the country since 2022. But, the case stands out—and is quickly generating alarm online—because the man reported no contact with animals. All 14 of the previous cases occurred in farmworkers who had contact with either dairy cows or poultry that were known to be infected with H5N1.

    I don’t think they’re necessarily saying it was spontaneous bird flu, it’s much easier to determine the animal(s) that gave a farm worker avian flu than testing every animal/person who interacted with someone.







  • I get the initiative to help red states, but democracy also works where if your an asshole shithead who makes sure their state is run by asshole shitheads, then you live in an asshole shithead state.

    If blue state voters want their tax dollars educating red states, yay democracy!

    If blue states want to spend that money on themselves and watch as Red states become horrible places to live, yay democracy!

    The only downside is that federal budgets will continue to help red states. We need someone at the top willing to play the Republicans game and deny red states everything until they come crawling back, or use all those private business tax free profits to replace the shortfall.



  • Less chat bots on Lemmy, and they seem to be easily identifiable and ignored/reported.

    Lemmy isn’t quite at that sweet spot where there are enough daily users to get niche content and information from a group of knowledgeable people - but some communities seem to be quite active and helpful already.

    I’d love to get to the point where we have a big science/history community and get some non-celebrity AMA’s that have genuine interaction.

    I’m more than happy for Lemmy to stay “underground” for a good while, slowly building communities. Once things hit a critical mass and wind up on corporate radar, lemmy will get swarmed and another migration will happen with the same core groups that joined lemmy early.




  • I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.

    The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.

    Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change

    I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.
