This has been my dilemma for quite a few months. I heard that it’s better to buy as soon as possible, because prices will only get worse for the next couple of years.

If a global recession were to happen, or even just in the US, causing the prices to drop globally, I wouldn’t mind waiting for a few more months. (You can’t be too frugal these times, can you?)

Decisions, decisions…

What a terrible time to be upgrading my PC. The GPU I wanted went fron 350 to 450 and now to 700€.

I found a deal for 600€, it’s either that or I will be stuck with a GeForce 1030 for even more years. And even if I bought it, I must hope Amazon doesn’t stop my order!

Question: I thought that even if China began producing super powerful GPUs and sold them for cheap, there would be such tariffs from the west that the price would skyrocket anyway, letting the GPU monopolies keep their place. Would that not be the case?

It’s still a great news for China, not being dependent on American companies is great of course, but it would be awesome to get state of the art Chinese GPUs at a good price in the future 😽

This has started to make me cautiously optimistic as well recently. Even if the protests themselves might not achieve much, they can make the people learn and get further disillusioned.

Basically, a sort of 1905 leading to 1917 afterwards.

Also, the fact that so many people aren’t happy of the imperial core is positive as well. Hopefully soon more Europeans will realize that the EU is their number one enemy!

Does anyone know if these protests are spontaneous or are led by organizations/parties? Also, looks like this is still tame compared to what happened later:

A spectre is haunting Europe…

Friendly reminder that the KGB still exists in Belarus :)

Union Jack flying for the last time before being lowered

Well, the few that do something… We can’t just do nothing, can we?

The contradictions within Europe will escalate into both a war and a revolution

This means all communist parties within Europe must organize harder than they ever did, to be as prepared as possible for when that moment comes. They are about to have a goldmine of opportunities. Is this right?

Day 26,739 without Stalin 😔

Good analysis. I believe he was more vulnerable to fascist propaganda for a very twisted sense of class/race solidarity as well. If I remember correctly, he spared a white man in the supermarket. Furthermore in his manifesto he said that when the police comes, if they are white, he would surrender without attacking anyone, and that he would even plead guilty in court (something he didn’t do however). So it goes beyond the act of killing itself

About that, I’m really curious to see what happens after this whole fiasco. Does anyone have any theory/guess on that? I suppose an Euro-American split is inevitable no matter what happens, but I’m honestly not super knowledgeable on marxist theory so don’t take my word for it.

😂 I remember those memes

Interesting. Makes me wonder if one of the next steps will be image generation. They had Janus like a year ago, but it wasn’t very good and I think the max resolution was something like 300x300; probably the reason they never even bothered adding it to the website/app. DeepSeek is cooking, so far they never disappointed. Now that they also ended the project of running it on their own hardware, we may even see much more frequent updates

I have the feeling that they will make it available for everyone very soon :) Have you checked the website? I saw it appear on there today, but not on the mobile app just yet.

It does seem like a big deal indeed. I imagine that there’s also a significant amount of people who used alternatives like Gemini for this reason alone, up until now. If they actually manage to integrate it in agentic… DeepSeek could automatize so much work, it almost feels like sci-fi!

The new Nuremberg trials can’t come fast enough.

Nobody — and I mean literally nobody — ever supported the Nazis. (Except for Joseph Stalin, of course, but that goes without saying.)

Lmao.

This is the cheapest? I’m afraid even China can’t bail me out of this one…

Saw this joke a few days ago:

OpenAI has achieved AGI (Ad Generated Income)

When will enough be enough for the masses?

Even r/Pics, the most liberal subreddit even concepted, is full of photos about this matter. On some others there is also the apparent close up of the guy who did this. I wonder how many people are waking up to the animosity of the empire, and how many still believe things will be fine once Trump is gone.
