  • It's not just that: for a long time you didn't sign so much as 'make your mark'. Of course, this was because so many people were completely fucking illiterate.

    Being totally fucking illiterate and uneducated is the goal of the Republicans at this point, so I mean, it still tracks, just... more broadly.

  • Excellent. Let's see if we can knock another 25% off everyone who is doing AI's stockprices and implode this bubble completely.

    (As an aside, I'd also fully support lighting every leather jacket Huang has on fire and forcing him to stop making AI-bullshit GPUs for gamers and then charging $2000 for said AI bullshit.)

  • Very very little. It's a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

    My personal instance doesn't cache images since I'm the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don't have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.

  • You're completely correct about you no longer existing, but the problem is you think this in some way can benefit you.

    What this is really is is another way to make you an unperson, so that they can do whatever they'd like to you, and then answer "I don't know who you're talking about" if anyone comes asking, since, of course, the sack of meat was no longer that person.

  • It's raid rebuild times.

    The bigger the drive, the longer the time.

    The longer the time, the more likely the rebuild will fail.

    That said, modern raid is much more robust against this kind of fault, but still: if you have one parity drive, one dead drive, and a raid rebuild, if you lose another drive you're fucked.

  • Huh. I've been part of a couple dozen ones and I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of dollars. I THINK the biggest settlement was $22 or $23 or something like that.

    Nice to know that, in theory at least, you could recover what was wrongfully taken from you.

  • Gonna disagree here.

    Humans have always had "social media", but it's not been directed by a cadre of oligarchs until recently.

    I mean shit, humans have been sitting around the campfire telling stories to each other going all the fucking way back to forever. Sure, a campfire story isn't a tweet, but for our monkey brains it's essentially the same thing: how we interact with our social groups and learn what's going on around us.

    The problem is that the campfire stories couldn't be manipulated into making your cavemen neighbors hate the other half, because half of them were totally pro rabbit fur while you're pro squirrel fur.

    You absolutely can do that and worse now, so while we've always had social media, we just simply never had anyone with enough control to make an entire society eat each other because of it's influence.
