    For the record, I have 38GB of RAM just sitting there doing fuckall at the moment. I don’t have any plans to put it to work this evening. I’m just gonna let it idle while I surf Lemmy, watch body cam videos, and drink beer. What a travesty for Sammy! Someone think of the poor cuck CEO!

      “Offensive” conduct must be more than merely hurtful, annoying or vexing. It must be “calculated or likely to arouse significant anger, significant resentment, outrage, disgust, or hatred in the mind of a reasonable person in all the circumstances.” Moreover, it must “be likely to have a serious effect upon the emotional well-being of an addressee.”

      I dunno if that’s entirely true but maybe I’m misunderstanding this - it seems kinda open to interpretation.

        Look at harassment, not offence

        “harassing” conduct, imply a “serious potential effect upon an addressee, one which causes apprehension, if not a fear, for that person’s safety"

        Easy to argue that case with how upset a large portion of society are about what he’s doing

      That was my first though too. The whole point is to stop sending them our data. But like someone else said, it doesn’t need to be real. Maybe we start reporting there’s a shit ton ram on Jupitor ripe for assimilation.

          Tell him how much of his own RAM is currently unused.

          …but then he probably knows how much is sitting in warehousing.

    I haven’t turned on my PC with 32gb in about a month… How would I email him with the lack of usage of a computer that’s not even turned on? All the PCs in my house probably amount to at least 128gb at idle at any given time, not counting my phones and ‘retro handheld’ computers…

    Based on the spelling on the Github page, I’m not running this. There’s an absolute lack of attention to detail advertised by the abysmal writing in the Readme. Say what you will, but red flags are red flags; and after a few decades we learn that sloppy writing is sloppy writing.
