Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And the user who posted it. I really wish there was a simple way to block sensational posts from my feed.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Thanks for giving me the idea. BRB, making a keyword filter for the words "slams" and "slammed".

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Careful now, you might end up with few news posts

[–] jason@discuss.online 6 points 6 days ago

Don't forget blasted and clapped back.

But then you lose out on a bunch of wrestling posts. And naked wrestling posts.

That headline is so stupid that I refuse to read the article

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Ha, my sentiment exactly.

"Whistleblows". What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn't blame him, it's not like he can freely travel.

I'll wait for the Julian Assange review.

But what does Ja Rule think?

Who cares what Ja Rule thinks? I'm holding out for Busta Rhymes.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What the fuck is wrong with this timeline.

Do the amish accept atheists?

Edward Snowdon reads a spec sheet

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Snowden added, "As someone who wants to sweep away corruption, there's a lot to like in the new ShamWow. And for those really tough, dirty stains, there's OXYCLEAN!!! With ShamWow and Oxyclean, you don't need to be Rushin'!"

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Was this written by AI? The headline word salad contains all the buzzwords.

Edward Snowden PILEDRIVES the Nvidia RTX 50 series into a crowded bitcoin farm

"Trash fuckin cuck card kys"

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Don't that distract you from that fact that in 2025 Edward Snowden threw Nvidia's RTX 50 series off Hell In A Cell and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Whistleblows on poor performance is actually insane lol

So now we care what Edward Snowden says about vram? We need him to tell us that it should be 24 gigs?

[–] ArchRecord@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago

An infamous former U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and whistleblower has unexpectedly shared his opinion on the state of the graphics card market.

Man who did big cool thing once also has opinions on unrelated thing, news at 11.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (5 children)

I can’t see the context because it’s freaking X, but I bet that’s in reference to local ML hosting.

There’s a big movement to get away from corporate AI, and I don’t need to explain the importance of that to the Lemmy crowd. But Nvidia is indeed artificially crippling consumer VRAM to stop them from being used for that too much, and protect their enterprise GPU market.

The most bizzare thing is that AMD is inexplicably complicit even though they have like zero market share in that space. 48GB 7900s (and so on) would have obliterated Nvidia and sold like hotcakes, much less actually using their modular memory controller architecture… But no? They restricted their OEMs from doing that because they… Don’t want money, I guess.

Yeah that does seem a bit weird, my four year old RX 6800 has 16 GB VRAM already

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Yes but that's from a company that builds decent cards at an acceptable price, and not from the HypeLords of the Lesser Return on Investment Unless You're a Farm.

(Getting ready for the downvotes!...)

What is even this ?

You're about 30 years too late, but I'm glad you're finally here
