@moppi @leah @ubernauten WTF!?
Das erinnert mich an das 2x32GB DDR5-6000 - Kit das von U$D 350,-- auf U$D 2.000,-- geklettett ist!
i486 sondern gar i386-Support wieder einführen muss weil Leute nur noch wie in "Alita Battle Angel" Dumpster-Diving machen können… Wie heißt es so schön:
Übernehmt die Mittel des Rechnens!

Die zum Teil über 300% Preiserhöhung bei Hetzner? Willkommen im neuen Normal. Bedankt euch bei den KI Buden und denen die es nutzen. Das ist nicht unverschämt, das deckt sich ziemlich exakt mit den gestiegenen Einkaufskosten die auch wir bei den @[email protected] sehen. Ich vermute Hetzner verdient daran nicht mal relevant mehr. Und gratis für die Hyperscaler geht damit auch noch die kleine Konkurrenz kaputt und man kann mehr leistungsschwache Geräte die nur Cloud können verkaufen. 🤑

Anil Dash @anildash: “It's telling that the creators of so many of the AI tools don't even have enough confidence in their offerings to simply let users choose to adopt them, and are instead forcing them into users' faces in every possible corner of their apps and websites.
“If, as they say, AI tools are going to get better quickly, then let them do so and trust that smart people will pick them up and use them. If you think your workers and colleagues are too stupid to recognize good tools that will help them do their jobs better, then... you are a bad leader and should step down. Because you've created a broken culture.”

Another gem of a talk by Cory Doctorow on enshittification! Highly recommended!

The enshittification of the internet wasn't inevitable. The old, good internet gave way to the enshitternet because we let our bosses enshittify it. We took ...
