    @McWabbit Posting without alt text is giving permission for others to take your stuff without attribution as far as I’m concerned…

    @McWabbit The reason RAM prices went up is the bully billionaires want to outlaw personal ownership of computers and force us to use theirs instead, at considerable cost.

    @McWabbit Or, you know, just boost the original, so it’s attributed. https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/115742732861618099

    @McWabbit Curious about what's going on. I just checked the price at Newegg of a SAMSUNG 990 EVO 1TB SSD I bought last April. It has gone up about 60%. That's huge, but it's not 400%. I should add -- I'm certainly on board with the thought expressed here. There's SO MUCH here that is a deep problem, I'm not clear that this chip-futures-buying thing adds much.
