They use a different kind of RAM.

It's the capacity to make RAM and the materials required to make RAM that is going to datacenters.

    What's more is they use HBM RAM, which is very complicated to build and has a much lower yield than the much-cheaper-to-make consumer ram.

    So, not only are they dedicating all of their resources to billionaire assholes with fantasies of mind control over the masses, but they're also wasting much more materials and energy to make this stupid ram.

    So you’re mad about computers being built to run LLMs but you use them constantly? That makes no sense.

    It's almost like it's not a black and white issue, and there's a whole lot of in between...that's clearly not your game however. Looking forward to the next Gotcha™ from you tho. See ya later.

    So we should just straight-up vandalize them? As much property damage as possible, forget the shotguns, bring bulldozers, gasoline and road flares?

    Lemmy.world runs from a data center, and virtually all other instances

    So we would not be able to have this conversation unless something more decentralized appears

    It is my understanding that sh.itjust.works is hosted on hardware that is in The_Dude's physical possession, so I think we could manage.

    You should target their internet connection. Fiber cables are easier to damage and harder to protect. It's also easier to fix so longer, organized campaign would be needed but I think it would be possible to avoid capture for longer.
