Buying used is per se not a bad idea, but the high RAM prices also mean more scammers, as it is now very profitable to scam people with fake RAM. And people need tech, so not a really an option to stop buying completely.

And I doubt prices would go down if consumers would stop buying or buying less RAM. The prices are high because the tech corporations are willing to buy RAM at basically any cost. Consumers are just a drop in the ocean at this point.

Of course there has to be a subscription. Can’t have things without a subscription in 2026, I guess.

U are just old lol

Gen X are just Boomer Lite

This is Lemmy, an anti-authoritarian anarchist bubble, where protestors are always 100% good and the state is always 100% bad. You can’t post balanced news reporting here. /s

It’s kinda funny how the left say they are so different from the right but use the same bubble mechanics where unwanted opinions are filtered out/suppresed lol. Horseshoe theory checks out lol.

Well I guess we need more countries that ppay more into the EU than they get out of it. With the dumb aggressive plans to expand the EU into the balkans (countries which for sure would get more money than they would pay into the EU), we need more economically strong countries in the EU.

Berlin is a dirty shithole lol

Both suck. Merkel is only seen positively, because the economy mostly boomed during her years. But she did absolute jack shit to prepare the state for the demographic crisis we now have. All the problems we are now facing could and and should have been addressed back then, but the good economy just concealed them. Merkel did nothing to invest into the future of the country. All the money just went to the rich, as usual. One of the worst chancellors.

Because there is no advertisement for it? Thing is, if you don’t go actively looking for a Reddit Alternative, chance is you will never have heard of Lemmy. At least, that was the case for me.

A population can shrink and the housing market can still suck, because it depends where the population loss happens. I can imagine that we are seeing a centralization to the big metropolitan areas, so the rural areas are dying out, but the metropolitan areas keep growing because people from rural areas keep moving to the big cities cos in rural areas ever fewer jobs are to be found. And I am pretty sure we this in a lot of countries, not just Japan.

Problem is locating the true him. He uses a lot of Doppelgängers. And the real him prolly hides in some deep bunker underground.

They are not helping out of their own volition. It’s extortion. Europe imports 50% of its Diesel from the US. If we say no, not only the consumers will suffer, but the economy as a whole. Massively.

I guess it depends on what’s meant with basic healthcare. All matters regarding your health? Yes. Purely cosmetic things like bleaching your anus? I don’t think so.

Pure ignorance right here. Sure, if you own a house you can install a wallbox or whatever and just charge at home. Maybe that’s the case in the US where I guess home ownership is rather high. But if you don’t own a home and live in a rented apartment, you most likely have to use public charging infrastructure. And if that doesn’t exist or simply not enough charging stations are available, then you can’t switch to an EV and have to continue to use an ICE car.

Also, since EVs are rather new, they can be more costly, even used ones. So again, those with little money will have to stick with an ICE car for the forseeable future.

Nah, he’ll never go to prison. The rich basically never do.

Third times the charm lol
