You may be misunderstanding how thing work.

Average people create their own communities. Those people control those communities. You can make a community for cars, and if someone poats about busses you can remove the post. The person who makes a community is the one that controls it.

It has nothing to do with the platform, you are just posting in a community run by people who don’t want that kind of post there. So pick a different community? And read the side bar before you post.

Piefed operates the same way.

I fuck things up often enough that I don’t need to do it for fun.

Driving along, 5yo says “Dad, is that heaven”?

Then refuses to elaborate. Do you mean that golf course? That paddock? What? Nope, just stares out the window and won’t respond.

Is it so hard to just point so I can see it too?

The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?

Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.

Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it’s not some big taboo to keep them on if you’re popping in to grab something.

Oh good thinking, I bet there’s an app to roll dice as well. Thanks! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it 😅

I can imagine this guy showing up at the funeral of a car crash victim and making a speech about how road deaths are a good thing and he doesn’t understand why they don’t see that.

Maybe but hardly anyone had 32GB of RAM 5 years ago so that’s unlikely to feed into the average. My original thought was that I don’t think the average will go down, because people will keep their current hardware for longer. Maybe we will see mobos with modern sockets and DDR4 support if this drags on, but hopefully the bubble will burst by Christmas and we’ll all be picking up refurbished DDR5 for pennies from the decommissioned data centres.

Well the last couple of years is pretty restrictive. If you’re upgrading every few years you’ll probably just bite the bullet and pay for the RAM.

My last comment was basically saying you can upgrade to the top of the line CPU that fits your mobo, giving you an upgrade for not too much cash. Better than forking out for DDR5.

Not necessarily, most people will be able to upgrade their CPU to a better model with the same socket. Sockets aren’t updated every time a CPU is released, and most people won’t be buying the top of the top even if they were, meaning there’s room to grow as prices drop.

I just find it hard to imagine people will buy a worse computer instead of keeping the one they have, but I’ll happily admit it if I turn out to be wrong.

Well, that’s a good point. However, if I wanted to export a CSV with only one decimal place, it would be mighty annoying if changing it to one in Excel didn’t save it like that in the CSV. Unless there was another option to control that.

Yeah thanks, I didn’t understand the original problem but I’ve got it now 🙂

Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can’t bring back what isn’t there. But the original file still has it.

I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.

Yeah but we are talking about a widespread drop in the average, which I’d think would be more influenced by people upgrading (or not) rather than gear dying.

Among gamers?

I didn’t even realise 32 was standard, I’ve really only seen 8 or 16 for normal consumer grade stuff.

But wouldn’t people just stick with their current PC instead of downgrade?

Especially because they very likely can get a better CPU with the same socket, and a better graphics card.

I find it hard to imagine a scenario where you would go to less RAM instead of keeping what you have.

Why would the average drop? People already have the RAM so wouldn’t we just see it stagnate?

Maybe, by why wouldn’t Excel let uou increase the number of digits in a CSV? The data is currently in Excel, and more digits isn’t incompatible with the CSV format.

I got married and it doesn’t come with any tax benefits 😭

If you’re open to it, I’ve seen maintainers go to “maintenance mode”.

Write it high in the readme so people see it, and write what it means: basically that you’re not accepting PRs, you’re not developing new features, but you will do bug fixes and basic maintenance (dependency updates, etc).
