DDR5 RAM prices are steadying out and some distributors emailing me on some price cuts right now too so if you were planning on buying some RAM hold out for a bit you can, some should be filtering through to retail soon if you keep your peepers out, I expect they'll be flogged in bundles or as "sales" at this early stage though.Shit prices compared to mid 2025 still ofc, but here's an early PSA if you were needing some soonish

Oh yeah btw. I made this No AI icon yesterday because I didn't fancy any of the other ones out there when I needed one. It's yours now too 😎

@selea I was looking at those already 👀 I feel like I'd benefit from buddying up with someone locally that might also be interested in learning along with me? As a communications platform it makes sense to have someone already in place to communicate with I expect

Hot take: Journalists already have websites and blogs and newspapers and magazines and TV and podcasts and newsletters to report in, is it essential that should cross into social media as a publishing platform when social media is (or should be?) inherently a social space and not a publishing space?Imagine a public forum of old (pre-internet), you'd expect people to bring articles within that space from outside to discuss, not a big newspaper rack at the centre to direct the conversation right?

I'm not 100% against news publishing here, if each news org have their own instance to block/follow accordingly btw, I just really don't think it's the be all and end all if it doesn't take off here. I don't see the problem, if we're here to hang out together and not have stuff randomply thrown at us all the time (often intaling stressful emotional whiplash, and from people with little regard to content warnings etc at that)

What I'd rather see is an RSS renascence, so social media can happen here in the social realm, and news consumed in the way more appropriate purpose-built space of feed readers. That separation is *way* healthier and works better for all involved surely?

Also, as I'm sure we all know: Using social media as a publishing platform in combination with piss-poor moderation has been one of the key grounds the "culture war" is nurtured on. The nastiest voices rise to the top (and find each other!), under "news" posts penned to be as emotionally charged and engagement-pandering as possible. 1/2

Do we need that to seep into every corner of the social media space? Do we even need to "engage" with news beyond consuming it? It's an "absolutely fucking not" from me.Newsorgs shouldn't be facilitating the "conversation" (more often than not just willfully hosting reems of hate speech to sell ads) 2/2

You don't have to apologise for being white, it's tangibly completely useless and still centring your experience and feelings. Just be *actively* anti-racist. It's not difficult 🙄

For anyone that didn't know Bob Vylan: Their music is about the racism that's alive and well in England and how the ruling class keep it that way, working class struggle, fighting to be who you are, against toxic masculinity, (and eating your veggies!)On Saturday they wished for an end to a military that's engaging in ethnic cleansing. The government and press always itch to find the "crossed line" to silence all of the above.Silence is violence.Here's a torrent: https://theslumofallknowledge.com/Glastonbury%202025-06-28,%20West%20Holts%20Stage,%20Bob%20Vylan.mp4.torrent
