If AMD Radeon can actually match the 3080 in performance and solve its driver issues without fucking up the launch I will be very impressed

With the 3090 just being kind of all sorts of silly the 3080 is really the target for true flagship performance: it has a cost-per-frame ratio that's less than the 2060 Super and even the RX 5700, which makes it very good at justifying its price tag
If those numbers are true and if Radeon continues to compete on value, the 3080 vs unknown RDNA2 will probably be the most interesting hardware fight we've seen in years
I will say that I have a vested interest in this specific battle, because for my birthday upgrade/build I am eyeing a 3080

If Radeon can offer something better I am all in for it
This of course is to say nothing about what Nvidia and Radeon will bring for the budget/midrange tiers, but that's still very up in the air for now

I don't want to talk about Mastodon because I felt like I said my piece, but everything under the sun for the past week or so has seemingly tried to compel me to talk about it
What is immensely frustrating is that the stuff I tried to be more sympathetic and excuse as just personal preference in my original piece ended up happening anyway in more or less the worst possible way, and now I feel annoyed at myself for not being more assertive originally
I think I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again:

If you have even a remote interest in online platform development, ESPECIALLY when developing to take on an entrenched competitor, @FoldableHuman's essay on Vidme is a must-watch

Some mixed thoughts from the Ryzen launch announcement
What I was most bummed out about was the lack of non-X Zen 3 CPUs, especially a lack of a direct successor to the Ryzen 5 3600 which was probably the best CPU of the last generation all things considered
The X chips we saw have all been hiked $50 from their predecessors, appearing to show that AMD is more confident and thus does not need to lean so heavily on value proposition, especially given their claims that their CPUs are now superior to Intel's offerings across the board

So on account of @jdl_werewolf's little spat I'd like to take you on a magical mystery tour of what it's like running the back end of a @Patreon creator account, and why you need to really know UX design or get someone else who knows
So right off the bat, if you're in your creator page and want to go somewhere, you're actually faced with three different menus to access things: Buttons on the left, a sidebar on the left, and then a drop down menu on the user

The organisation principle of this is unknown
You might ask, hang on, why do I start on my creator page? Why not on "home"?

Well, dear patron, that's because the "home" page basically shows exactly all the same information I get from my creator page (income/patronage, activity) but with a worse layout.

So amidst our current multitude of social crises, it's somewhat upsetting to see a number of my peers express the belief that humans are inherently greedy, competitive, uncooperative, and awful, and I'd like to take some time to kind of just explain why I don't subscribe to that
Most of what I'm going to say derives from my anthropology/sociology studies in university as well as a number of YouTube video essays, namely this one, "Wall-E as Sociological Storytelling"

If you call yourself a socialist or even state you have "liberal" ideals to any extent, it is worth a watch because it lays bare a myth pervasive in Western thought that has allowed society to maintain structures of capitalism, authoritarianism, feudalism, and fascism
