You know what? I still have a GBA and a GBC with flashcards and both working perfectly. My newly purchased R36S will do the rest.

I'm gonna retire to the world of roms and romhacks and fuck it. I have more games than I will be able to play in my whole life.

Strategically fucking the people.

It really highlights the fragility and single source/control of the global supply chain.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 13 points 5 hours ago

Concentration of production capacity is why computers are ridiculously cheap in the first place. This comes with drawbacks when people don't stockpile enough of their critical inputs...

Just in time done badly.

What the fuck will be after that? copper?! Fucking greedy bastards need to go

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 39 points 6 hours ago

Copper has already skyrocketed due to AI.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 34 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It all started with the enshittification of copper from Ea-Nasir.

No ea-nasir is correct. That mf fucked it all up. Few millenia ago.

I think you missed the ball toss.

Right, so maybe there's something more than just "greedy bastards" that'd need to go.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sorry my comment wasn't up to your standards I'll keep you in mind next time I comment

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sorry that you are responsible for how you think and liberals have not so far achieved full control of public spaces to the point that their ideas go unchallenged.

Stfu about it if you don't care to learn how to change it, including the specificities of how language shapes your own understanding. Making it about "greed" distorts the reality of why this has happened and portrays our current conditions as the result of natural human immorality and not like, a very specific set of events over the past five centuries and the system that emerged from them.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 3 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

All this time you could've explained what the better solution is instead of talking down to me. If its not about greed elaborate.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca 0 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)

"I won't change how I think until someone promises to be my mommy and fix things for me" is very liberal.

The reality is you know the problem, but you don't want a solution. Private property, extractivist relationships with land and people, and hierarchal organizing are all fundamental elements in this system, and people like you hate it because you don't benefit from it, not because it is harmful.

You want a handbook? There's dozens of'em written by socialists and anarchists who use direct action and mutual aid to produce some kind of fundamental change in people's subscription to this system. Why haven't you tried that yet? Why would your concern be so shallow? Is there maybe, something you benefit from that you do not want to discard? Maybe some...privilege?

Y'all get pissed any time that your words or actions demonstrate your values unintentionally. I guess just shut the fuck up about these things and have fun with what you have chosen:

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe a system where greed is less relevant than like, how resources are understood and distributed? There's no exceptional level of "greed" that makes this system stop working, it has never worked to the benefit of the overwhelming majority of people.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So... get rid of the greedy dastardly then?

I mean, obviously it takes more than getting rid of people that seem to prop up the system as it is. The system creates those people as much as it is created by them. Its not like the world would magically transform onto a magical utopia if we suddenly got rid of the capital class. Others would simply seize the opportunity to become the new capital class.

The same would happen if we just did the opposite, get rid of the system. Those same people would still push anything that replaces it into where it was before.

It will take more than a one-liner to effectively change the world.

Is that what you mean?

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Love it when I have libs mansplain shit.

Hey bud, you ever think about why you believe the conditions we live under are natural and inevitable? I wonder who it benefits to think that way and whether you have arrived at this understanding through passive exposure to some kind of contrived network of institutions that both produce and distribute knowledge and whether those institutions are subject to like, some kind of hierarchy of power. If that was the case, I wonder how that power is achieved and maintained... Perchance, is there some fundamental element from which the entirety of that....system...is orgnnized around...I wonder if anyone else has thought about this ever.

The smugness on you motherfuckers who pretend to want change but clearly have not taken the time to learn about what the fuck you're even talking about. Vibe-critiques from y'all.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Where did I say it was natural and inevitable? I said that the current conditions feed on themselves, not that it can never change, or that it shouldn't.

It feels like you're not really looking for ways to improve the world, just ways to complain about other people not doing enough to improve your life.

If only fucking arbitrary borders defined by pedophiles and enforced by murderers would just fucking disappear already

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 38 minutes ago

Yeah, why doesn't the ME just let the US do whatever they want there?

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

But without arbitrary divisions, I can't feel more superior than others!!!

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Prices were already going up and supplies were already constrained because the AI demand was pulling so much of the capacity. Iran hitting the petrochemical plant is just adding on to an already bad situation.
