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.

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.

2·6 days agoI already vote for democrats all the way down ballot for every election, now what? How about democrats do their fucking job and actually try to get elected instead of demanding we settle for fascism-lite or else we get fascism?

Democrats don’t even want to defund ICE. How are they removing fascism?

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.

News@lemmy.world•Wendy's closing hundreds of U.S. restaurants as sales plunge
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.
