This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The cloud bullshit is such a racket. The only thing you are scaling is your invoices.
Everyone knew it was a bad idea at the beginning, for the issues when the service goes down, and the obvious security/privacy issues.
They started to sell it as a stable solution, with no down time, which we all know it's a lie and I don't have to talk about the privacy issues: just look at your lenny frontpage.
We have to stop with that bullshit, we have to stop pretending that the cloud is a solution.
I bet people will use it anyways ๐ฅ
Probably not nearly as much as M$ hopes, tho - especially since it will require a stable Internet connection.
Jfc, they're really going to attack private PC ownership when the AI boom falters.
They are preparing for a world where we don't own things and get free use of the things they choose for us to use, when they want us to use them. Act now, before it's too late. Death by a thousand cuts, so goes society.
Who is asking for this shit ? Do they even run consumer surveys ?
Corporations who want to fire their desktop support team.
Shareholders want the line to go up. Trapping everyone into endlesss subscriptions is a great way to guarantee revenue.
Why would they ask consumers what they want when they can tell consumers what they want. What are you gonna do, move to Linux?
Shareholders are asking for it, since monthly recurring revenue is great for profit sheets.
They run plenty of surveys, but the results go right in the trash.
I fucking knew it
Enclosures really worked well the first time, boy how.
ai recreates 'bsod' for the cloud. fantastic. rebooting server farms. ignore flickering lights
Install Linux Problem Solved.
It might be some kind of bias playing tricks on me, but it really gives me the impression that since those corporations started embracing ai and claiming that they use high percentages of it in their work, some trend of things stopping working has been on the rise. I swear those services from big companies used to be considered so highly available and stable, that people would be incredulous if they stopped.
For a while there it look like Microsoft was changing from the EEE company of the 90s. They couldn't pretend they knew what they were doing for very long though and here we are. They evolved from evil and stupid to just stupid.
