Should we ban the unemployed from voting no

Should rich people that suggest stuff like this face firing squad absolutely

Genuinely insufferable that the UK has this upper-middle journalist class that get to endlessly pontificate their horrible opinions to the point it seeps into public consciousness.

[zarohk]

It’s amazing how mask off politicians on both sides of the pond are about wanting to bring back feudalism and make poor people into serfs that they own.

The entirety of Western Digital’s 2026 hard drive output is already sold to data centers and won’t have consumer stock until at least 2027

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

AI Companies Bought Out All of Western Digital’s Hard Drives for 2026 Already

Thanks to data center demands, Western Digital has committed all of its HDDs for at least the rest of the year.

WD makes more money selling drives to data centers that then lease you the storage as a subscription

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

I don’t think there’s enough coordination and cooperation for this to be a ‘force people to rely on cloud storage’ conspiracy buuuut i do think all the players involved are smart enough to know that’s what’s going to happen and have no reason to stop it

Plus, with WD specifically, it’s 7 customers. Not 7 retailers, but 7 corporate consumers. Imagine being a company with close to a $100 billion market cap and for the next fiscal year you have to only deal with 7 clients. Why on earth would you prioritize consumer sales when you’ve got these dream clients beating down your door

'That's not going to last': Jeff Bezos believes AI will force you to rent your PC from the cloud, and the RAM crisis is accelerating it

Your next PC upgrade might be a subscription

idk it may have started as an accident but i wouldn't for a second believe they're not actively shooting for that now

[plotholes-and-spellingerrors]

I also try not the engage in "this has always been the plan" type thinking. But the second that SaaS proved to be profitable, the moment Adobe proved that you can hold software hostage for a monthly fee by changing the contract and license and people will stick with it because the switching costs are too high, this was the logical conclusion. I don't believe in a shadowy cabal sitting in smoky rooms planning out every detail of the economy half a century in advance, but I do believe in the rent-seeking pressures of the private ownership economy and in the willingness of those in power to just keep pushing a little more each year to see what they can get away with.

Electro’s power can not be contained.

I love how tumblr users are still dragging around the corpse of this 12-year-old advertising campaign as a reminder to other companies not to try to advertise here.

Try to make money with tumblr and we will dance on the ruins of your attempt for a decade

[confield]

You cannot say that a top grossing artist is "feral" or making you "feral." You are listening to the Billboard Top 40. You are very domesticated.

[breadcunt]

Stupid ass take. The fame of the artist doesn't define how it makes you feel. Do you not see me go hogwild eating potatoes, easily one of the top 5 most well known vegetables

We're like shooting stars you and I

A little discussed tumblr experience is that when you add a new gif to a post, it goes into the gif library that everyone has access to

Every now and then you get a notification that a user has added your gif to their post and you are treated to a glimpse of a user you have never seen before in a fandom you have never heard of talking about something you will never see again

And it feels like

10/10 experience, keep it coming

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

Exhibit A

[cyborbs-deactivated20231020]

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

[vulpineprince]

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

[ablondpanda]

Ah, there it is!
