Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donationsEnglish7·11 days agoThe so-called “Holodomor” is a fabrication of Ukranian nationalists meant to justify their participation in the Nazi’s genocidal war of destruction against the whole Slavic people.
Get fucked, you tankie piece of shit!
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donationsEnglish5·11 days agoI don’t code. Happy to donate to a non-tankie development team (when I get a job offer).
I like the Lemmy concept. It seems to be the most viable alternative to corporate social media (both in terms of size and architecture).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donations6·11 days agoYou seem to be forgetting that the two devs are active admins on both ML and grad. And at least one of them does spend a lot of time banning any critique of their pro-genocide views.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donations3·11 days agoWhy would the EU fund developers who are openly supporting russian imperialist expansion and genocide?
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donations31·11 days agoAnd how exactly are bunch of genocide supporters who claim to be leftists (russia is an authoritarian capitalist state) any better than some American oligarchs?
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Lemmy needs more donations156·11 days agoBeing Ukrainian it’s not possible for me to donate to supporters of russian genocidal imperialism.
I hope both of them meet the same fate as “Donbas Cowboy”, Russell Bentley:
Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.
According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.
I am personally hoping that the core software will be forked while retaining the Lemmy name. Change it to Lemmy-TSF (tankie scum free). I would donate monthly to a development team that doesn’t include genocide supporters.

Clear market failure and oligarch collusion.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•US Administration Expected To Impose Harsh Chip Tariffs Soon; Commerce Department Apparently Sees No Resentment On Upcoming Semiconductor PoliciesEnglish4·11 days agoWe are anticipating chip tariffs to be announced by Wednesday, given that the administration disclosed that they will include semiconductors in a separate policy. As to what kind of “percentages” we could expect from the government, President Trump has said in the past that tariffs on Taiwan as high as 100% are a justified figure, claiming that the nation “stole US tech”. And, given that the Commerce Department hasn’t seen opposition in its public comment yet, which could give President Trump leverage.
Stole US tech? And what tech would that be? Who stole it?
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Eric Schmidt apparently bought Relativity Space to put data centers in orbitEnglish2·12 days agoYes, we need form factor that acts as a very strong incentive. A life changing incentive if you will.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Eric Schmidt apparently bought Relativity Space to put data centers in orbitEnglish12·12 days agoI kept getting 80s/90s dystopian cyberpunk motifs in my head when reading this article.
Schmidt does not possess the wealth of an Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. His personal fortune is roughly $20 billion, so approximately an order of magnitude less. This explains why, according to financial industry sources, Schmidt is presently seeking additional partners to bankroll a revitalized Relativity.
There is an abstract, satirical beauty to this paragraph.
Also worth keeping in mind that Schmidt recently stated that we shouldn’t bother with climate goals and just focus on AI.
These individuals really need a dose of reality to get them down from the clouds and back to the ground.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cutsEnglish4·12 days agoIf not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.
Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cutsEnglish4·12 days agoExactly this.
We continue to be able to make faster chips, both via smaller nodes, but also via advanced packaging and architecture improvements.
But the costs of every new generational increase is rising faster than the % performance improvement.
I am personally hoping this will eventually lead to a culture of total optimization (similar to what we saw in the 90s on both PC and console), but there are likely significant barriers to implementing such a new development culture at scale.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•China turns on ‘minors mode’ to keep kids safe onlineEnglish01·12 days agoThis is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A List of Social Media Platforms that Still Permit Free-SpeechEnglish1·20 days agoSounds about right for crypto scheme participants.
Vapid American techology industry insiders are incapable of making a truly good, user-focused product.
P.S. Let’s not forget that Rose’ last project was a NFT scam and some other blockchain bullshit. He clearly can’t think outside the box.
Sounds like it’s going to be UE6: Fortnite.
Hopefully Godot can make more improvements by the time of UE6’s release.
