I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.

That was my point, the DNC and their mainstream media buddies said that he didn’t focus enough on issues facing specifically black people. That was one of many attacks they made against him.
I mean, it has been applied as a way to divide, like when Bernie proposed all sorts of policies to help the poor and mainstream media ran with “but what does Bernie do specifically for poor black people?”
That’s not to say there aren’t such specific concerns, but it wasn’t like Hillary was doing any better in that regard. It was solely used as a way to make Bernie look less progressive. So instead we got Trump with the simple and straightforward “make america great again”.
Fighting a war on multiple fronts is a great way to stretch your resources thin and muddy the strategy.

Technology@lemmy.world•The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care aboutEnglish
1·3 days agoThis isn’t the first time that the memory companies have colluded to raise prices. It’s perhaps one of the more extreme instances, yes, but with the AI excuse going away, things will have to go back to reality, especially as China ramps up production and ruins the cartel setup we’re currently stuck with.

1·3 days agoThat’s assuming everyone’s devices crap out during this year or two while the AI and memory companies play pretend that they’re actually going to use up all this memory.

1·3 days agoFor a while, but when the AI bubble pops and as China ramps up production, we’ll hopefully see the memory cartel eat shit.

Good thing I don’t care about any of those things enough to pay the rip-off prices. I’m fine with my 4 year old phone and 10 year old PC. If they crap out then I’ll replace them with some cheap old crap. I don’t need high specs, there isn’t much worth running these days.
They’re not surprised, they’re just demonstrating how easy it is to insert false information in there.

62·6 days agoHow do you think we got trump in the first place? Democrats kept moving to the right and making things worse until a candidate like trump could seize the moment. So yeah, you will die on that hill because it was a hill built by voting the “lesser of two evils” while both parties moved to be more evil, until we’ve got the current level of evil we have now.

2·7 days agoIt was a smart move for mcdonald’s corporate, but they’re using that advantage just to squeeze the franchisees all the same and the high prices for their awful offerings reflect that. Wendy’s has better beef than mcdonald’s sad meat discs, so I’d rather eat at wendy’s if I had to choose between the two. Thankfully I have other choices, so I choose neither.

True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.
