They can. If there was no consumer hardware available there would be nobody to use the data center stuff. And they make their stuff bloated af so the consumer hardware will always have plenty of power
Discussion
Again, its not about powering the equipment - if they *physically* remove the access - the home consumer cannot self-host. The point is to not have to rely on corpo data centers as a middle man.
You're not making sense
I didn't say anything about "powering the equipment"
I did point out that they are not showing signs of physically removing your access to your phone / laptop / etc because then you would not be able to use their data center stuff just like you would not be able to self host
Lol OK wat
>They can. If there was no consumer hardware available there would be nobody to use the data center stuff. And they make their stuff bloated af so the consumer hardware will always have plenty of power
> the consumer hardware will always have plenty of power
I didn't know there was any disagreement over whether we would still have access to electricity
I was saying consumer devices will continue having high system specs
Do you seriously think storage prices going up means they're going to try to take away electricity next?
Bruh -
I'm just saying if companies remove hardware access - software cannot run - and its not consumer friendly IE homeland won't be affordable anymore.
That simple lol all thats being said here. Plainly.
Homelab*
And I'm saying these signs don't point to a removal of hardware access, they point to data centers being prioritized which doesn't matter because they've been making bloated stuff for so long the consumer devices will not be going back to kilobytes of RAM or anything
I don't get what your end of this conversation is
Cool 😎
No, acting confusing is annoying, not cool. You should stop that
I thought I did -
I'm disengaging - we are not discussing the same thing lol.
Its quite literally apples and oranges and theres no point in this engagement,
So,
Cool 😎
"Yes" and "no" are not apples and oranges
You are saying yes, they will stop letting us buy smartphones / laptops
I am saying no, they will not
What the fuck do you mean "apples and oranges"
Dude just stfu
It doesn't matter.
We are not discussing the same thing and I dont owe you jack fucking shit to clarify further so politely, fuck off lol.
If we are not discussing the same thing then why the fuck are you replying to me without explaining what you meant to discuss you annoying retard?
Go fuck yourself, you belong on facebook or somewhere that bans people like me if you can't handle finishing a conversation
Lol ok 😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
😂
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
Hope you heal my guy.
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
Remember you're the one that replied to me, asshole
It's not my fault if we are "not discussing the same thing" while you refuse to explain what the fuck you actually want to discuss
Lol ok 😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
😎
Go fuck yourself retard, trolling doesn't make you cool
And now you're giving laughing emojis at the fact that you annoyed me in my other replies?
How fucking long is it going to take devs to make the tools we need to not have to deal with trolls so fucking often
sometimes it's on you to stop interacting with people who annoy you
It's not
It's on people who run social media platforms to not make them traps for people with enough of a spine to stand up to bullies
It's fucked up that we've had social media platforms for decades and none of them have fixed these issues, including nostr being here for years
As long as the platform is designed to let bullies spam the feed, the only correct response is to continue responding to them forcefully
Without better tools than spamming replies back, responding forcefully means spamming replies back
And it makes me extremely angry that I've had thousands of hours of my life wasted on this, while devs of platforms like reddit make money on the content I contribute, make money from users bullying me, use my suffering as a revenue source, while being part of a system that makes computers so unreliable and janky I can't fix it myself
I will continue standing up to these psychopaths
That includes the psychopaths that harass me
That includes the psychopaths that removed our "punch in the face" tool by ignoring shit like COVID and moving all social interaction to the internet while refusing to replace the face punch with other effective tools
I will not be one of the people whose fault this era is
we'll agree to disagree 💜
I won't, I will continue to count this as a matter of objective reality where "disagreement" is just denialism, which counts against you and everyone I'm aware of other than myself (even Digit)
i'm saying i'm disagreeing with you, and acknowledging you think differently
that's what i meant by that phrase
But your statement implied I would accept this as a valid disagreement, which I don't
Everyone I've ever discussed this with is doing denialism, not taking a valid viewpoint
I'm sorry for being so hostile on this but I really count 0 people who agree with me on how these things should be handled, so I feel very outnumbered
no worries,
i just don't want people wasting their time
in my day it was called "feeding the trolls"
---
that's how i feel about society and Free Software, i can't interact with 99.99% of peaple cause they aren't with me, so i get it 💜
I think most people on here have more in common than we all initially think, at least on the surface.
🫂💜
Believe it or not -
If we're on here I think its safe to say most of us are on the same side.
I apologize for thinking you were acting in bad faith because I thought you were trolling me
Again, apologies and I agree with you for what thats worth. I learned from this and dont prefer "bad faith misunderstandings" 🫂💜
You need some help my guy.
I'm really not a troll fren 🫂
Then don't spam laughing emojis after acting confusing, refusing to explain yourself, and taunting the person you were replying to over it
My apologies truly
🫂💜
Just want to disengage, learn, and move on. Honestly.
