The laws can absolutely be written such that companies are required to suspend service to any suspected child without requiring ID to use the service.

The laws shouldn’t focus on “harming children” so much, but on “harming humans”.

The big tech companies should be held responsible for the actual damage they are inflicting upon society, and their methods to artificially inflate “engagement” (or whatever the hell they call it) should be held to scrutiny. Whether or not the damage is inflicted upon an underage person or an adult, is merely a distraction.

Those assholes would love it if we all had to identify ourselves and prove our age, if it means they get to keep inflicting their shit upon us.

Yeah, but against people with portable ATGMs, like Javelins or NLAWs. Anything else is not going to make a dent in an Abrams tank.

Also, they’d be much more likely to send in IFVs, like Bradleys. They’re much “better” equipped to deal with “people”.

People who are “actor rich” aren’t the problem. AFAIK Clooney hasn’t done anything particularly immoral, he just played in some movies and got paid well.

You should be mad about the amoral corporations that are ruining the world, and the sociopaths that control them.

Would be nice to see the gaming industry pivot back to making innovative games within the constraints of hardware, instead of just expecting customers to throw ever more powerful (and power consuming) hardware at it.

Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it?

Because selling is always a hassle, dealing with choosing beggars and scammers, and it may not be worth much anymore for general use.

For example, my old PC is a i7 4770k… it can’t run Windows 11 or play remotely recent games. I don’t know anyone who could use this thing, so to save a few watts I took out the GPU, put it in eco mode and have been using it as my Linux server.

My NUC uses 6-7W idle.

I have played around with some mini PC’s (minisforum and beelink brand), they’re neat but they turned out to be not very reliable, two have already died prematurely, and unfortunately they are not end-user serviceable. Lack of storage expansion options is an issue as well, if you don’t just want to stack a bunch of external USB drives on top of each other.

Mods should ban any account that has external links meant to sell something

There is r/nofans

I remember when I got my first computer with 1GB of RAM, where my previous computer had 64MB, later upgraded to 192MB. And there were only like 3 or 4 years in between them.

It was like: holy shit, now I can put all the things in RAM. I will never run out.

Yeah, but for example !linux@lemmy.ml is the only reasonably active community on Linux, and one of the communities I frequent the most.

what would I gain from docker or other containers?

Reproducability.

Once you’ve built the Dockerfile or compose file for your container, it’s trivial to spin it up on another machine later. It’s no longer bound to the specific VM and OS configuration you’ve built your service on top of and you can easily migrate containers or move them around.
