This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Fuck you, Bezos. And fuck Amazon. I'd go full Luddite before giving you a single cent.
fucking microsoft too. they're enshittifying things so much because they can charge you rent to compute instead
No thanks, I'm good.
Wonder if all the AI shit has actually been a way to inflate the price of computer hardware to the point where something like this is the only way some people will be able to afford to use computers at all.
Bezos isn't a visionary, he's a recationary. His opinions are worth less than the toilet paper I use to wipe my asshole with. Ya'll need to get off Lex Luthor's nutbag.
A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated
People should be more aware that appeal to making you feel old or antiquated is one of the main strategies from corporations to push their products into you.
No, you're not antiquated. Just be yourself and do things the way you like to do, not the way corporations want to force you into. No one should judge you, and if they do, they're wrong for judging others for their way to do things. Don't fall for that trap
Of course they want that. So they can control and see everything that people can do on their devices. With Moore's law there is absolutely no reason why centralizing computers should make sense. This is pure corporate greed and nothing else.
You will own nothing and be happy.
I'll host my photos on a jailbroken pregnancy test.
These greedy fucks are coming after everything you have, that's how this works.
All thanks to American Billionaires fucking over the whole planet. I'm thousands of miles away and I am still getting screwed by those sycophants.
I'm not giving up my PC, I'm running it until it dies, Big Tech can fuck off.
Imagine a world where you have been blacklisted from their services because you posted online about the corruption he feeds.
now imagine how difficult it will be to get or keep a job where you can't use a computer when 85% of all jobs now require AI "skills".
don't worry, you can work in one of the many warehouses at Amazon...
He so damn trash
So that's what they meant by techno feudalism.
Um no
Every 5 years someone invests a bunch of money into thin clients, and then we’re right back where we started.
I’ll believe it’s possible when America’s networking infrastructure isn’t covered in holes.
I mean, that's absolutely where this is going at a business level. Cloud computing has been in the cards for decades, and the only real question is who will do the hosting.
With the price of RAM and CPUs going asymptotic, these big cloud compute companies are building an effective monopoly on high end processing capacity. They're cornering the market on hardware. Eventually, you either use their computers or you stick with legacy hardware (that's seeded with Planned Obsolescence time bombs) or you (shudders just to think of it) start buying computers from CHINA.
When you think about it, there's really only one option.
Meanwhile, I'm preparing myself to long periods of internet outage and intermittent access.
