Sure, the cloud is a cancer on computing. It may make some sense for large corporations but for small and medium business it takes away their agency. IT staff should be developed and in house coding should be the norm.
Allowing cloud and AI to run everything is a recipe for disaster.
Oh I like that. Schrodinger’s box with presidential immunity in it.
Watching it now, I am pretty sure I know most the history but there is always more to learn. Thanks!
Yo, that is my sequence of 0’s and 1’s is how ridiculous it all is in the digital era. Not to mention I have to pay for and maintain the hardware to even access the content.
I also have a hard time understanding the self imposed artificial scarcity we live with. Copying work/art/ideas/science is literally the point of humanity. We are truly living in a perverse time where corporations steal our culture and spoon feed it back to us for profit and control.
I love our spiderman meme culture where everyone is pointing their fingers at each other accusing them of stealing their idea/song/art/etc.
I can never understand how people carry so much water for corporations who could care less about them. We are supposed to rearrange our entire society around their revenue streams.
Musk is holding the Democrats smoking gun!
Taking this a tad bit personally I see. I was just commenting on the conversation. I don’t speak for any community.
Your definitely a bit of wanker to be honest.
There is a philosophical difference using Open Source software. To compare it to religion is pretty shitty honestly, even if you find it amusing. Linux is not faith it is logic.
Honestly, I am getting a bit tired of Windows (which is pretty much adware garbage at this point) being the only mainstream OS for laptops and desktops.
I am also extremely tired of half-assed status quo defenders like you that always say, “people just aren’t ready”. This is clearly a disingenuous argument born out of ignorance and apathy.
Lemmy clearly has a Linux slant just as Reddit did before all the Winblows people did exactly what you are doing now. So respectfully get bent.
I find your comments particularly hollow on regards to UI changes as Microsoft is the most guilty party ever for changing the interface and forcing people to relearn everything (hello ribbon bar, Windows 8, Windows 11 lack of start bar configurations, and of course constantly changing where settings are located).
The only cult that is proselytizing is Windows bootlicking losers. The fact that Linux users are passionate about the superiority of owning your software and not giving your money and personal information to a corporation that will sell you out in a second is just common sense.
Yup, this is why we need to either nationalize Starlink or just shut it down completely. This isn’t something a single private company should have control of.
Imagine paying for a surveillance machine that takes pictures and records everything you do ready to regurgitate it to anyone who asks. The fact that anyone sees this as anything other than dystopian is a bridge to far for me.
The world would be better off without IP law, but I doubt these bozos know that includes trademark.
I bought Trump coins so please untariff my favorite product.
Clownonomics by the clownministration.
Microsoft will sell US citizens out in a second when the government tells them to. They will use their AI to round us up without batting an eye. They can not be trusted anymore.
Microsoft is now a threat to democracy and human existence. They are already working against us with governments. This is the tipping point that no one will hear about.
There is too much at stake and they are too big to fail. The government will viciously take down anyone spreading the truth. Continuing to support Microsoft is now a death sentence to democracy.
Only concentrate on the illegal stuff we are doing right now and forget about all the illegal stuff we did in the past.
->Musk’s team launches the most expensive firework ever blowing up and disrupting air traffic and destroying the environment again for the eighth time
I will happily block you. You are a incapable of not personalizing this whole conversation and any future discussions with you will likely lead to the same outcome.
Please don’t lecture me about bad faith as you engage in bad faith. I will restate my premise that you came across as an apologist. This was a objectively true from my viewpoint as well as your perhaps inadvertent devil’s advocacy (I am being generous here because maybe you have never thought about your behavior in this regard).
He was simply wrong for this statement. It was a half baked political opinion that did more harm than good. This is from the standpoint of an actual leader who has started businesses from the ground up.
You are just learning, and pointing out your own words is not bad faith. Your emotions get the better of you and it becomes about your ego at this point. Your lack of self reflection in this matter is unbecoming.
You can only see better from your point of view that you want more knowledge. Keeping their mouth shut is what leaders do everyday to protect their business, their profits, their coworkers, etc.
I suppose you have to be a knowledgeable leader to understand this. We often thrust people into leadership positions and we end up with people like Andy as a result.
I don’t pretend to the arbitrator of what is right or wrong, but I have learned a lot in my lifetime and calling a spade a spade is something I believe is important. You take all this so personally and thus show a certain level of immaturity as you probably feel I display as well.
Your proof of your political commentary only supports my assertion that you are very technically minded. Your critique of cloud computing shows your technical understanding is profound, but does little to forward a feeling that you are politically minded. You state yourself you are just learning about this which is very clear.
Nice try conservative policy maker!
