This feels like one of those ideas that sounds good at first glance but hasn’t actually been thought out.

If police cannot interfere in labor disputes does that imply people are allowed to do anything as long as they call it a labor dispute? What’s stopping people from rioting, stealing, and harming innocent civilians as long as they say they’re protesting for better working conditions?

They both use entirely different technologies to store data. RAM is basically just a transistor and a capacitor used to store each bit. This makes it extremely fast to access but it requires a constant supply of power or that capacitor will just discharge. There really isn’t that much that can wear out using a capacitor and transistor so they have long lifespans.

SSDs use NAND flash. Basically they trap some electrons in an insulated section (the gate of a floating gate MOSFET) and to read that they measure the electric field caused by those electrons. This wears out because sometimes electrons may unintentionally quantum tunnel into the insulated section and become permanently trapped there. And once enough electrons have become permanently trapped there, you can no longer distinguish between different values.

You can’t use RAM technology in SSDs because it’s volatile - when power is removed all data gets wiped. It’s also much less dense than NAND flash. 1TB SSDs are pretty easy to find but when was the last time you saw a 1TB RAM stick at a reasonable price?

I’ve hated Reddit for a while now and was originally happy to move to another platform but I’m already seeing lemmy start to show the same behaviors I hated Reddit for so I don’t think I’m gonna last long on here anyway

I’ve noticed this a lot with both lemmy and Reddit. You have to go into any thread thinking about the kind of people that post is going to attract because it often times does not reflect the rest of the world

Seems like a really shitty “fuck you” if all you’re doing is giving insurance companies more money with no benefit whatsoever to your loved ones considering it would be cheaper to pay out of pocket at that point

Not sure if you would consider it a colony sim but factorio is really good

Rimworld and factorio cause time to disappear

Minecraft I keep coming back to year after year.

FTL is pretty fun too

I would argue many people are initially interested in making things better, it’s just that power and lobbying have a tendency to corrupt people

And all the posts that are just Twitter screenshots of somebody complaining that also plagued a bunch of similar subs

I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.

On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.
