          My service at work are all Ubuntu. My servers at home are all Debian.

          I’m not the one deciding which distribution to use at work 😞

          To be fair though, Ubuntu server is fine. I’d have more issues with using Windows server. Like a jester!

      In the past there were commons which means land that anyone could use. You might know it from the tragedy of commons. A thought experiment which was opposite to any empirical data but that was used to privatize these commons even tho worked very well in reality.

      Back to RAM. In order to privatize it, it was to be in common ownership aka socialized before that.

      Feudalism on the other hand means that the people living on the land belong to the land in the sense that when you get the land, the people must stay but they will pay tribute to you. This is different from slavery where the master could sell people individually and different from capitalism where you can choose who exploits you. The RAM situation is closer to capitalism than to feudalism.

      This is just me overanalyzing for fun. No hill I would die on. Pretty sure you could argue any other way.

        To further stretch these tortured metaphors:

        System integrated memory is like feudalism, the ram stays bound to the machine.

        Buying RAM dims as lots of individuals and pairs like they are on a ship bound for Rio de Janeiro in 1820, is what they are doing now. Just stack them up in a warehouse until they put them to work in the data center/plantation where they labor away or wear out or the market collapses.

    Socialised implies regular people would have access. Sam Cuntman would have you give him your ram for free then charge you to use it.

    He also doesn’t need your help with healthcare, he can afford better. He just can’t produce more ram which is why he’s being a big baby about people having some.

    Gonna annoy the G*mers with this one.

    That RAM is useful for vibe coding AI slop emulators that allow for piracy ports of games that they’ve spent years telling people they don’t care about.

      I’d rather give up everything AI has blighted us with than get a few ported games in return.
