If right wing (or even other leftist groups) came into an explicitly tankie community and started arguing with people how would you react?

Also do you actually know what tankies are? They aren’t the majority in any country I know of. Non-tankie doesn’t even mean right wing. Anarchists are further left than tankies.

Is this a joke?

Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.

I don’t think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.

I don’t think anti-tankies can be blamed when said tankies regularly engage in brigading of other instances. Like if everyone actually behaved this wouldn’t have been an issue.

Crypto is actually really useful for buying drugs and other illegal products and services. People have legitimately made a lot of money as well if they weren’t falling for the stupid scams. You should see the price of BitCoin or Ethereum these days.

Not saying it’s ethical to run a lot of these given their limited usefulness and very high costs. But saying they didn’t make people money, were all scams, or didn’t have a use is objectively wrong.

Would people on Lemmy actually know the difference though? Like half the people here don’t believe in the premise of money and capitalism to begin with. How are they expected to understand the finer points of business?

Normally the people talking about water use have no idea what they are talking about. Normally data center cooling is closed loop, much like a cars cooling system. So they don’t use significant amounts of water at all.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted to hell. This is actually correct. They put the second connector on there for a reason. People including myself have done the maths on this before and it’s all above board. Only fringe cases involving power transients, out-of-spec cards, and obviously overclocking should actually make this a problem. Even then the 12VHPWR uses the same current density if not more than a daisy chained 8 pin setup.

This is straight up wrong. There are people here who have done that maths for you, if you look hard enough.

This diagram was probably created by a specific PSU builder and intended to illustrate their recommendations for their PSUs, not as a general rule.

Yeah this person you are replying to is wrong. Using two lines where possible is a best practice, but in most cases isn’t necessary at all. This diagram was created by a specific PSU manufacturer I think, and should only pertain to their PSUs.

Not all PSUs even have a second cable. Mine sure doesn’t.

Technically it’s fine to use daisy chained connectors. People get into trouble though with badly built power supplies, extreme overclocking, or cards like the R9 295X2 that blatantly violate the specifications.

Older PSUs sometimes have trouble with new GPUs. It generally happens because new cards have large power transients that the older spec didn’t take into account. Sometimes running a second line fixes this for one reason or another, but not always. 12VHPWR actually uses similar current per wire or per cross section area of wire as a daisy chained setup, if not a little more.

I am using a RX 6700 XT on one cable as well and it’s perfectly fine. If your PSU has a second cable you can run that to be sure, but if not like mine don’t worry about it. It’s only certain corner cases like extreme overclocking, or certain cards and PSUs that violate the specifications that actually cause issues. The Radeon R9 295X2 would be an example of this. 12VHPWR actually runs a similar amount of current per wire, with an even smaller connector, as a daisy chained 8 pin setup. You should not use third party splitters though if you want to be safe.

Yes, this is the way. I’ve had to do the maths manually without one of those calculators before, but people still wouldn’t believe me.

Best advice is to always do what your PSU maker recommends. If they put the connector on there it probably means they want you to use it.

Most countries don’t have colleges like the American ones. It’s called University and you only do things related to your degree. We also don’t normally do the whole major and minor thing. It’s very weird that you have people in who aren’t doing a chemistry course and take chemistry classes in degree level education. Instead in most places you do college or sixth form before starting University, that’s a separate institution. College and sixth form does some of what high schools do in America (starting at 16), but are also just a general educational institution that anybody can attend to do any number of different qualifications. Some even offer courses that form part of a degree where you spend your last year at University.

Why doesn’t lemmy at least have pinned comments and flairs? Seems like a serious omission to me.

Okay I am not going to lie I am pretty lost as to what you are saying here. I read this twice and I am still confused.

What does working on open source projects have to do with the culture war? Also what do you mean by culture war? Do you believe like some leftists do that it’s all a distraction? Or do you think like the right wing do that it’s a leftist conspiracy to changes some countries values? Or another third thing I don’t know about?

Who is an American uniparty?

By new Microsoft do you mean how they have changed with regards to Open Source? I mean they actually release open source software now, and don’t fight as much against Linux and other communities. Presumably because they realised they can’t fight Linux. Do you think this is a bad thing? They obviously aren’t a benevolent force for good, but I personally prefer the new attitude to the old one at least.

That’s not at all what I am saying. I am saying that Gen Z aren’t as tech illiterate as people seem to think and using myself as an example.

Why are you so negative?

Point being I’ve used tech from the era before smartphones.
