  • So far as your desktop, you can certainly upgrade your computer without it being more cost effective to do a whole new build. It really just depends on what you need. Mostly it comes down to the limitations of your motherboard.

    Every so often they change the CPU socket required for new CPUs. So if you need a new CPU and you already have the best the socket on your mobo can do, then yeah you're maybe looking at a new build at that point anyway. But otherwise you can just get an upgraded CPU of that socket. Similarly, eventually your motherboard won't be able to support the latest version of RAM and if you need that you'll have to replace the motherboard. So on and so forth.




  • Fwiw I did mean to say, "I'm not saying we need a civil war." Though, honestly, I'm not saying we don't either. It just wasn't really the point I was trying to make in that moment.

    I think I more or less agree with you though. Violence is not necessarily my first choice, but it's naive to think the opposition will listen without it. Or at the very least the threat of it.

    The reality is that our power structures heavily favor the owning class, and they're not going to hand over that power laying down. Collective action and such is of course the first step, but as you mentioned force will be used to dispurse labor movements.

    Yall realize many of the rights we have as laborers now we're won with force… Right?

    Like, yes collective bargaining, labor solidarity, etc. is super important (which is also a form of force) but there were literal armed conflicts between laborers and the police on behalf of companies.

    I'm not saying we need a civil war, but let's not pretend we won our rights today without bloodshed.

    Edit: Left out a key word, whoops.


  • I feel like, and I really wouldn't know to be honest, you could maybe make the argument with a bit of a redefinition of worst.

    Tiktok might not be objectively worse in terms of data collection and such, but does it's vast popularity counter balance that to some degree? My general impression is that tiktok is ridiculously popular and installed on many, many devices. However I also have no idea if/how much worse it is than other social media apps, that potentially have a similar install count. I've heard it's pretty bad, but couldn't tell you myself.
