Yep, it’s basically slick hyperconverged infrastructure that you can buy a rack at a time without a subscription license.

Unless you’re wild camping, campsites have addresses. So do marinas where a ship would need to be docked more or less regularly to establish residency. As for being a nomad, you don’t need a driver’s license or any kind of ID to wander if y

This all goes away if you require social media companies to charge users for access. The addiction to free stuff is what’s really killing the internet.

Lmao you can’t. Eugenics is evil and denies reproductive rights, bodily autonomy at the most basic animal level. It is literally the idea of creating a master race and culling off anyone who doesn’t conform. If you find yourself in a situat

I’m not sure why you’re so set on taking away free will. > you can't do anything except join the unemployed until you get rehired from the pool of desperate people willing to do their bidding. So there is a choice then. Does unemplo

What I’d consider unlikable is implying that someone might have no choice but to work for Microsoft in order to provide for their family. It carries with it an air of privilege and condescension implying that working a lesser job or for l

Having kids is also a bullshit excuse. Choosing comfort over conscience is your prerogative but you’re just teaching your kids the same values. Yeah, tech monopolist that enables genocide to contemporary gestapo isn’t an equal comparison. B

What a ridiculous excuse. People who join ICE to brutalize minorities and protestors are just trying to feed their families too, then. No? Working for Microsoft doesn’t make them bad engineers or bad people, but it does make them Microsoft

And yet they still work for a company that has shown it isn’t overly concerned about quality or reliability in its products.

Without a byline it’s probably the safer assumption.

Definitely smells like survivorship bias. The title is clickbait. This reads more like marketing copy for the author’s consulting firm than any serious research. They “help forward-thinking leaders and organisations see aging not as decli

It really is insane how far it's gone. All of the subsidization and free usage is deeply anticompetitive, and it is only a profitable decision if they can recoup all the losses. It's either a bubble and everything will crash, or w

It can say that because LLMs have no concept of truth. This may as well be a hoax.

Unfortunately it’s not so shocking anymore. The Secretary of Defense texting imminent war plans to a journalist in a Signal group kinda jumped the shark.

To add onto sibling comment: it is specifically when they sell below cost to eliminate competition, with the goal of later being able to raise prices to recover those losses (and more) once they are the only player in town and can jack the

So what happens if your motherboard gets fried and you don’t have backups of your recovery key or your data? TPMs do fail on occasion. A bank PIN you can call and reset, they can already verify your identity through other means.

AI enshittification is irrelevant here. Why is someone pointing out that sensible secure defaults are a good thing suddenly defending the entire company?

I think you’re doing situational awareness a disservice, and I’m guessing you’ve never worked in a field where it is a trained discipline. It is not just paying attention to your surroundings, it is actively scanning and evaluating to antic

The modern consumer benefit doctrine means predatory pricing is impossible to prosecute in 99% of cases. I’m not saying it’s right, but legally it is toothless.

> Then, at least in a free market, their only choices are to use AI or cease to exist. That is a false dichotomy. Eschewing AI may actually provide a competitive advantage in some markets. In other words, the third choice is to pivot and

It depends, and no obviously not. Having a forum to discuss suicide/suicidal ideation is fine, outright telling someone to kill themselves is illegal. The Michelle Carter case is an example of this
