Angry Merry noises

They do in the US.

But on a global scale, you’re right.

The irony of saying that when you think the be-all and end-all of how good a business is doing is looking at its stock price this year.

If only it were that simple.

It was the card, and nah, it long predates 13th/14th gen.

If I need a shit in the morning, I try to wait until I start work. May as well be paid for it.

Thank you for the link, I didn’t know it existed.

Damn, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.

Unfortunately at the time, AMD didn’t have anything performance competitive. But it was worth the downgrade for the better drivers.

• AMD’s Data Center revenue surged 115% YoY in Q2 2024, driven by Instinct MI300 AI accelerators and EPYC processors, leading to raised revenue guidance and a BUY rating.

• Client segment revenue grew 49% YoY, fueled by strong Ryzen processor demand and Zen 5 sales, prompting an increased revenue forecast for 2024 and 2025.

• Gaming segment revenue fell 59% YoY due to weak console demand, resulting in a lowered revenue forecast for this segment through 2025.

• AMD’s acquisitions of Silo AI and ZT Systems aim to strengthen its AI and data center market position, enhancing long-term growth prospects.

Did you even read it?

Down 6% YTD and a market cap of 1/12 of their only competitor isn’t “doing great.”

Firstly, Nvidia isn’t AMD’s only competitor.

Secondly, only looking at the stock price and treating that as gospel shouldn’t be how you’re assessing whether a company is doing well or not.

GameStop stock exploded, it wasn’t because they were doing well. Nvidia became the most valuable company on earth by market cap - do you really think they’re that valuable? Tesla stock went crazy because Elon kept chatting nonsense about how all their cars would be driverless by 2018. Etc.

The stock market is not rational. Don’t judge the health of a company purely based on their stock price.

Where can I see this? I’m looking about but can’t find any mod log. Usually mods would inform commenters if they censor thsm, rather than do it silently.

Why were other comments removed, in that case? E.g. I don’t see how “I don’t think you know what Nazism means”, in reply to a person who thinks moving a car factory is Nazi ideology is an example of rule breaking.

And apologies for the pedantry, but an ad hominem is when you dismiss someone’s argument by attacking their character or their motivations. That’s not what I did. I explained why their argument (‘moving factories is Nazism’) is absurd, then asked if they were a fuckwit. I didn’t call them a fuckwit and leave it at that.

Rude? Yeah tbh it was, and I guess that’s against a rule. But it’s certainly not an ad hominem, and I kind of take issue with people seeking to minimise and whitewash Nazis, and tbh, I will be unapologetically rude to people who do that. I think Nazis are bad.

You are still ignoring key fact that a family who made their fortunes as nazis are still a key shareholders of major German publically traded company.

This is the first time you’ve mentioned it to me directly. I haven’t ignored it.

And again, what’s the relevance? Yeah some people who were Nazis 85 years ago had a business. Now in 2024 their descendants are still rich and still invested.

• What does this have to do with news that VW is considering moving a factory?

• How is this proof of present-day Nazism within the VW group? Can you point to any Nazism? Do you have proof? Because your original comment was about VW effectively being a Nazi organisation making Nazi moves.

• What is it you want? People today being punished by the government based on the sins of their ancestors? If so, I certainly hope nobody in your family tree has ever been a criminal.

My response was the cavalier attitude that germans have about their elites and how they went completely without punishment.

Common German bootlicker sees no issue with this, rest of people are tired of this behavior. American slavers and Germany nazis got away with the crime because “capital”

No, nobody is going to just “completely” move on.

No amount of stupid books written by some cucked historians to white wash this history going to fix bad historical facts for the German elites. I am surprised regular Germany is this will to larp this propaganda

Sounds like you should be expressing this opinion on a submission about the postwar period in Germany, not on a submission about a car factory possibly being moved, which is a completely and utterly unrelated matter.

E: more removed comments. Can I at least get an explanation, please?

My previous comment was removed for being anti-Nazi or something, idk. I was never given an explanation. Weird and disappointing behaviour from a mod. It shouldn’t be controversial to think Nazis are bad. But I guess this is the world we live in now.

But no, not “completely”. Completely.

The quotes make it seem like moving a car factory is in fact tantamount to Nazism. Which it isn’t. Only a fool would think that moving a car factory is tantamount to installing a brutal warmongering dictatorship that systematically murders religious and ethnic minorities, the disabled, etc.

You need to brush up on your history if you think the Nazis are bad because they moved factories about.

Mercedes has improved so much. They used to be consistently near the bottom.

Pop is the only one that really ever makes any reference to windows in its marketing

Gnome is great. I don’t really see how it’s tablet-like. It’s an extremely keyboard-focused desktop.

It’s a great addition. It’s a surprisingly powerful aspect of gnome that nobody, not even Gnome, ever seem to talk about.

They really should place a text file in that folder to explain how it works (and of course exempt it as being used as a template)

Ubuntu, Mint, and to some extent PopOS are pegged as easy Windows/MacOS alternatives, just like ElementaryOS. They’re still popular.

Both are pretty great on Fedora, although Fedora gives Gnome just a tiny bit more attention, and even specifically align Fedora’s release schedule with Gnome’s.

Gnome will likely be a bit more stable, consistent in UX, and have a workflow that’s very different but pretty amazing when it “clicks”. Gnome has a pretty great Adwaita app ecosystem that matches the system theme very well. Features can take a little while to come to Gnome, because the devs are pretty anal about getting things implemented perfectly before they’re added.

Plasma is more powerful and customisable, most parts of the system, and apps in the KDE app ecosystem, have a load of options you could spend hours going through and customising to your heart’s content. Plasma out of the box pretty much operates like you’d expect a Windows PC to work (sans the enshittification of course lol) . Plasma adds features rapidly, and just works out the kinks while in production, so-to-speak.

Both of them are great, albeit very different, which keeps the Linux desktop interesting and varied IMO. I’d try both for a day or two and then make your choice, because it’s highly subjective.
