Apparently I'm wildly autistic.

back in the day people would download more ram and put it on giant tape-based backup systems. Big companies started downloading massive amounts of high quality ram this way. This created a ram shortage, and companies like corsair are now using their massive reserves of downloaded ram and filling empty ram sticks with them and making lots of money. That's why ram is so expensive today. Any ram you can download today is low quality ram, and the only high quality ram can be had on physical sticks, which were filled by the companies with ram reserves. 1969 was the peak of the ram harvesting, so you'll probably get some really great ram if it came from that year.

Honestly I'm okay with that. I won't be buying until it's on steam so it's like a closed beta for me. I'll get a more polished product.

I'd have to ride several blocks on a 4 lane stroad to go anywhere outside of my neighborhood. It's so depressing.

So bots. If a user doesn't choose their own name they are making the choice to look like a bot.

Or it's modded and has every Nintendo game known to man installed.

It's great. I keep it in my fanny pack.

I hate the reading order of Twitter.

You are correct. However, more often than not it's just like the image describes and people are actually applying LLM's en masse to random problems.

IIRC liquid death also has some very good policies.

And it was originally created because drinking water isn't cool, and musicians in bands wanted something to drink that looked like energy drinks or alcohol while staying hydrated. They mentioned bands filling empty monster cans with water as an inspiration.

Edit: This is effectively solved by this browser plugin I found that lets me swap instances with a single click. It turns out there is no way to make an RSS feed for remote users between instances, so this is a close 2nd in terms of convenience.

For example: I want to follow this user's posts because they post regular hand-crafted news posts. The RSS link noted in the screenshot gives me this error pasted at the end of this post.

I tried going to lemmy.world and their RSS feed button works, but I don't want the .world link in my RSS feed, as I want to comment on the post sometimes. Is there any way to get the blahaj.zone user RSS feed working for non-blahaj.zone users?

Thanks in advance.

One of the sadder reasons: I need a pickup but they stopped making small pickups in the 90's.
