There are a lot of “who gives them the money” posts here - and on a basic level they’re right.

But there’s also the part where these companies were spearheading climate research initially - and instead of trying to pivot into renewable energy they doubled down on oil, muddied the waters in discussions by first denying global warming and then when that didn’t work out anymore, emphasizing scientific uncertainty, lobbied against environmental regulations, and shifted blame to the individual.

Guess y’all can’t handle some truth

Lol @ the hate I get for posting a Wikipedia link

Are you from a sanctioned country by any chance?

AI generated is just a stand in for hollow & over-dramatized here. Probably I could enjoy AI generated content if it wasn’t shit. The claims on the site reminiscent of 14y/o skids trying to scare each other: “uhhh I got your IP I will hack you now!1!1”, except now you have access to some chatbot subscription to make it sound like it’s a big deal.

Site feels very LLM generated - in particular the writing just feels off

I think RAM manufacturers over increased production capacity in 2020 and got hurt by that - so maybe the industry will not adjust as flexibly this time for fear of these investments not paying off

The origins of today’s cycle, says Coughlin, go all the way back to the chip supply panic surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. To avoid supply-chain stumbles and support the rapid shift to remote work, hyperscalers—data-center giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—bought up huge inventories of memory and storage, thus boosting prices, he notes.

But then supply became more regular and data-center expansion fell off in 2022, causing memory and storage prices to plummet. This recession continued into 2023, and even resulted in big memory and storage companies such as Samsung cutting production by 50 percent to try to keep prices from going below the costs of manufacturing, says Coughlin. It was a rare and fairly desperate move, because companies typically have to run plants at full capacity just to earn back their value.

After a recovery began in late 2023, “all the memory and storage companies were very wary of increasing their production capacity again,” says Coughlin. “Thus there was little or no investment in new production capacity in 2024 and through most of 2025.”

Guess VPN vendors will be making a lot more money in turkey real soon

I enjoyed this comment but also don’t wanna dunk on OP enjoying their game

Should really need to be a one-liner to set up.

They’re releasing their own state controlled version called “Max” - so that’s intentional. Even if this - at least temporarily - damages their own internal communications (also military I heard).

25 is hex for % so it somehow url encodes it again

Works for me on both Jerboa and the web interface. Maybe it’s an issue with your client?

maybe the goal is instead to try to get ahead of regulation by implementing a system that is easily bypassed by most kids (like these video based age estimations). Then they can show this to the regulator and be like: “look were already doing everything we can, no need to actually put the regulation in place”.

I mean it’s just a cheap PR ploy anyway. Companies are not your friends. They are just as much dependent on payment processors like Mastercard as Steam and Itch. They probably just don’t matter enough to get notice.

You can disable showing adult games from the store in the store preferences.

This setting is apparently disabled by default, so at some point you enabled it.

OP is. This is just a remix of a popular meme.

I’ve head in some small shops you can still get sim cards without id (“oh I forgot it at home” …)
