Not surprising. We're in a gold rush for AI and Nvidia is selling shovels.

I'm using a thinclient (Fujitsu S920), slapped an Intel Pro/1000 NIC in there and installed opnsense. Hardware cost for both used was around €80. Wifi is handled by a TP-Link access point.
It's a big boy router/firewall, and it's been quite a learning experience but very fun.
For sure - they did the same thing for the Apple watch. Twice, actually.

Or many of the other games in the genre as long as they have auto-aim. Brotato and halls of torment are worth checking out, imo.
Elon has trauma from being ousted as CEO by the board at x.com (the company that would later become PayPal).
He's living in the past.
I had a look at my bank account, and it turns out I actually can't.
There was a time, maybe 8-10 years or so ago, when you would actually find good and well-reasoned answers from qualified people on there. But now it got so bad that I added Quora to my search results blocklist addon.
This is just going to encourage even more spammy, low quality, easily consumable clickbait content.
Good luck, Steve.
I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away?
One aspect is that federation is definitely a bit harder to wrap your head around technically.
But I think another large contributor is the fact that culturally, the zoomers never really grew up with things like independent forums. I'm 33 and back in t the day it was very common for me to be signed up to many different forums for my different interests. Over time, I've seen the centralization of those communities, forums shut down and centralized services like Reddit, and lately Discord took their place.
I remember a time when the internet wasn't solely controlled by a handful of organisations, I can see the value in federated systems.
But someone who only knows centralized services and walled gardens is likely to fear the wild, or at least won't value it as much.
//edit: Another thing to keep in mind, is that it's just very common for this demographic to be early adopters for tech products and platforms.
I remember when Twitter started, and a large part of its early user base was people in their 30s or older who were very into tech, or journalists. The reason I started using Twitter towards the end of the 2000s was because most of the podcast hosts and regular contributors on the TWiT network were using it.
Seems to me that if you want to launch a social media platform, your early adopters are either guys who are into tech and in their 30s and 40s or teenage girls.
The Reddit mods should walk, en masse.
Coordinate it, so they all walk at the same time. Nuke the automod rules too. Coordinate it off Reddit.
I want to watch the absolute garbage fire that would ensue if the mod teams responsible for moderating probably tens of thousands of rule violating posts every day just walked away.
I doubt it would ever happen because the people who do that job for free usually don't have much else going on. It's hard to walk away from the thing that gives you purpose, a sense of belonging to a community and a feeling of power, no matter how sad that might sound.
Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?
It's a 50/50 split between Waldemar and Eugen.
