This is a step backwards from M1 in terms of cores, core speed and bus speed. This is not going to feel like an m1 base even.

Eh. 8GB is unified memory, meaning it also needs to carry the graphics load. You’re making it sound like it is just working memory. MacOS is also more graphics heavy than PC, especially Linux based OS, so whatever efficiency you’ll get from the OS in terms of memory compression and management, you’ll also have to offer for the smooth expose, missing control and all the frosted glass translucent garbage they force on the users.

8GB is shit low. Email and browsing, ok. But as soon as you have 40 tabs open in chrome, it will be email or browsing. Garageband sure, again dont run anything else in the background. But I doubt you’ll even be able to edit a 1080p project in iMovie without stutter on battery power. The biggest issue is that you can’t upgrade it, so whatever software upgrades happen, 8GB is all you’ll ever get.

They were talking about memory not storage

I think we’ve exhausted this discourse. Peace

that was debunked over 10 years ago

I usually don’t respond to this anymore, but I hope people realise the true conspiracy theories were never about “Bush didn’t do it” or “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”.

If you, after seeing — 2 years of unsanctioned Israeli genocide, US playing Israel’s military sock puppet and how blackmail power structures work (as seen in the Epstein files) — still cannot comprehend how the world is run and the public is manipulated, I doubt you’ll ever see it.

I wouldn’t call you dumb for that though. I think similar to being addicted to smoking, it has little to do with intelligence and more with whether someone is susceptible to government sanctioned propaganda.

The only people who benefited from 9/11 were the billionaires in the MIC and the financial sector behind it. One would hope that someone above the level of intelligence of a Trump supporter would see that after 20 years of pointless wars.

E: grammar and phrasing

I’ll just quote you to yourself, as we’re pretty much on the same page:

If you approve someone, you don’t need to explain yourself, you would just say “I agree with this guy”. There’s no substance to it.

However, if you downvote, you are saying “this is wrong”. Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you’re being a dick.

It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

EDIT: I’m absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.

You may think that those upvotes explain the downvotes, but they really don’t. And they don’t to a small majority of the people, so perhaps you can help out. A good start would be:

You’re getting downvoted because

Or

I’m downvoting your post/comment because

Or if you feel the upvoted comments are indeed addressing my concern “legal porn that looks like CP is morally extremely questionable and either won’t help the growth of Lemmy or would attract people I rather not associate with”, you can copy paste it.

I also want to state this is occurring at a time where we are discovering pedophelia run all the way to the white house.

Germany? U seeing this?

TIL a significant minority of Lemmy/Piefed users like to look at or reserve the right to be able to look at pornography where the actors bear resemblance to children. And the best arguments they have is FReE sPeEcH and iTs NoT iLleGaL.

Yuk.

I understand the ease of downvoting, but the lack of well laid out arguments gives this entire platform a very yukkie vibe to me.

I was simply cross posting for discussion. And while I see the point that the OP is being a bit dramatic perhaps, as somebody else said on here: the downvotes and vehement opposition to the OP can be seen as support for pornographic content that seemingly depicts minors, even if the actors are in fact of legal age. And if there is one type of content where the user is more concerned about what it looks like than what it is, it would be pornography.

Everyone can have different kinks, fetishes and sexual proclivities (SFW), but once you’re essentially advocating for pornography that visually identical to child pornography, it’s time for that uncomfortable look in the mirror I think. The free speech absolutist argument doesn’t really hold water. What would the absolutist argument be if the child pornography was mades using Sora or something similar? No minors would be involved in making that either right? I’m all for free speech, but to push this angle seems really grasping at straws.

If a new user comes to Lemmy without NSFW filters and such content is among the first things they see, I wouldn’t expect them to sign up and become a regular contributor to the platform.

I was hoping !fediverse@lemmy.world would be a place where this can be discussed, which I suppose it is, as this will rank nicely as “controversial”.

Fair points. I think you’re overestimating how much he still has to say.

Don’t forget he is tired, has tons of medical issues, in serious mental decline, and kinda hates the job. He’s only there because Jack Smith would have changed his KFC buckets for prison food.

The show is run by Jared, and a bunch of coke snorting or drinking sycophants. This one in particular is run by Rubio probably.

But at the end of the day, there’s no heart, no love or compassion. Just money and small dick syndrome.

Not to mention that the USA lost pretty much any war it was doing by itself or in hostile climates. There’s no coalition of the willing and once the Middle East warms up to Summer, it’s over.

To be clear I also do know, there was just this little bit of coke left on the toilet seat from the last guy and I briefly saw things with a bit more clarity.

What’s with the downvoting?

No. DJTs entire MO is pump and dump. This is a 10 day effort. All his military moves are hit and run. Now he will just to a bit more tweeting about how it will go on, both to appease the zionists and to stir unrest in the markets. When everything crashes enough or oil goes up enough because of Hormuz, he will back off, buy the dip and make more money for all his friends.

The pump and dumps are how he keeps everyone protecting him.

Not that the region will stabilise, but the US overt agressive involvement will probably be over by mid March.

Good thing oil isn’t the backbone of our economy anymore

Oh look, he’s not allowed to do tariffs anymore, so he can do tariffs this way! Who knew our very stable genius would be this clever?

That P you took, you think there’ll be some spare ones in them tapes?

Well you asked kindly.

I don’t want to have a conversation about this, but if you study a little bit of (ancient) history, sociobiology, look at when our currencies became decoupled from gold standards, then take in the climate data, and our real economic data (not quarter returns of silicon valley, but real metric tons of food produced, how that supply chain works and how it is already being affected by climate change), then figure out where you are on the food order list, and how close you are to sea level. People in Sudan are already experiencing what will come to most of Europe in the next 1 maybe 2 decades. There is so much more to this, but you need a serious stomach to digest it all. I went through it once, and I wouldn’t recommend it, hence my reluctance to share or encourage people to go on this journey.

The most important part is: we really don’t understand much of how complex the myriad of systems that are keeping us at this very nice level of living way above our means. But we do know everything is connected, and through Earth System Science we know that the collapse of a few pillars will cascade into other areas.

Just writing it I can sense how you will push back that that’s not specific enough, and that’s fair, but the full picture took me many years, and I couldn’t point to a single piece of literature or data for you. If you want to know, you’ll find it.

Also be mindful that this isn’t just a knowledge change, but a change to your belief system as well.

But somewhere I think you do know or you wouldn’t respond like that.

We have never in the recorded history of this planet have had an economy that is so vastly disconnected from the resource reality below it. We have never had so much poverty, poor education, healthcare for the lower classes against such an over the top wealth for the few billionaires. We have never been with this many mouths to feed. Most of us are now living in a world with 2 to 3 times as many people than when we were born. Housing and healthy food production did not scale at the same level. There are now more armed conflicts happening simultaneously than ever before. While that is all going on, the climate and our environment are basically done.

1. CO2: 427.49 ppm (Dec 2025); May 2025 peak 430.5 ppm — first time exceeding 430 ppm. Rate: +3.75 ppm/yr, ACCELERATING (+0.160 ppm/yr²)
2. Temperature: +1.34°C (2025, 3rd warmest). Three-year avg 2023-2025 exceeds 1.5°C for the first time
3. Sea level rise: 4.5 mm/yr — doubled since 1993. Acceleration: 0.077 mm/yr²
4. Carbon budget (1.5°C): ~170 Gt CO2 remaining (~4 years at current rate). Effective budget tighter due to overestimated CO2 fertilisation
5. Planetary boundaries: 7 of 9 transgressed — ocean acidification confirmed as 7th (Planetary Health Check 2025)
6. First tipping point crossed: Warm-water coral reefs at 1.4°C (irreversible)
7. Ocean heat: 23 ZJ absorbed in 2025 (record, 9th consecutive)
8. Fossil emissions: 38.1 GtCO2 in 2025 (new record, +1.1%)
9. WAIS collapse precursor detected — all model ensembles show Thwaites/Pine Island collapse
10. Methane: 1940.59 ppb (Sep 2025) — decelerating from post-2020 surge

I want to believe in positive human collaboration. But absent a miracle and aliens landing with tech far beyond our reach or understanding, these changes are locked in. If we locked down the entire planet and froze the economy tomorrow, these metrics would not change by much.

Most people on this platform will not grow as old as their parents are today.

Enjoy your life, this amazing planet with so many wonders and beautiful people. Create close knit small communities. If you survive, it will be back to basics. Assuming you live in US/Europe, you might have another 10-20 years of relatively good life, though that might be optimistic.

I don’t want to be treated seriously on this platform about that subject.

If you’re curious you can find it but it won’t be thrown in your lap, as people would simply stop working/paying taxes or have children or fight the elites wars for them if the collapse data becomes widespread knowledge.

But as I said, there is nothing serious about this, and the best advice I can give is to simply enjoy life and appreciate precious moments with loved ones.

I highly recommend staying ignorant honestly. It’s a much lighter burden to carry than seeing all the datapoints and seeing the collapse as a certainty. Have a good life, seriously.
