Fuck you, Jeff !
I’ll make my own cloud, with blackjack and hookers and tarpits to poison your AI scrappers !
What so you can spy on us and other shit you ghoulish fuck. Fuck you bezos
Hope he falls out a 10 story window
Why not 11?
I’m comforted by the fact that we have such a substandard internet in Australia that the day would be over before an only online machine would even boot. And before you start, there’s no way I’d usr the flaky starlink solution either. I say “bring back the video store”. Where is Schitts Creek star Johnny Rose?

I think I’ll pass. I’ve been going to too many lengths lately to keep my data in my possession. I have no interest in giving it Bezos.
Technofeudalism. Great book by Yanis Varoufakis. He called it and it’s actually happening.
I still think it’s funny that he went from working at Valve as their Economist in residence studying digital markets to being the finance minister of Greece. I think the Valve job was more prestigious, especially since the rest of the EU was committed to fucking over Greece at the time.
Varoufakis explaining how Eurobonds and IMF were fucking over every European taxpayer in order to bail out banks that made risky bets with Greece was quite based.
I just wish he’d stick to economics, his geopolitics takes are quite bad
Oh god. In the future we’ll need open source resistance-like computer part manufacturing.
This is increasingly possible, I’ve seen people fab their own chips at home
Fuck that, I want to own my shit and will build my own fucking server before renting space in a corporate owned server.
At least there’s no Windows…
I’m game.
I like campuses with dumb terminals and private clouds, where you can restore your session from any building at any desk.
There’s reasons for thin clients and cloud computing. It should absolutely not be in the hands of greedy companies though.
Yep. Sometimes computers in the cloud are your own computers.
I will build my own in a garage…use wood for the case…
They bought so many GPUs and RAM that will be worthless after the big bubble pop that they now need an alternative plan for that hardware. Brace yourselves to be sold virtual computers.
The funny part will be when citrix takes 70% of their profits for using stuff it’s had patented for decades
I thought he just bought shit for a dollar and sold it for two. That’s pretty common even though he took a big bite of the customer base due to right place/right time dynamics. Why does falling into a shit load of money all of a sudden make you think that you know best on how society should proceed. It’s not just Bezos. Every single billionaire thinks that. Fuck 'em all.
Not quite, he doesn’t demean himself by ‘buying’ anything, he just built a place where other people can buy stuff for a dollar and sell it for two, and Jeff takes a cut.
Even worse, a middle-man.
I worked in a Citrix environment for long enough to know this is just stupid.
I worked for a company that did this, thousands of users on Citrix.
Management didn’t believe us when we told them how slow it was, especially for data analysis, which was literally the job for many of us. It turned out management above a certain level were on a separate Citrix server, with relatively few users, and they weren’t doing heavy duty analyses like we were, so they had no issues at all. Middle management and below were on servers with too many users.
After a few years, they went back to “thick” clients. Laptops, finally. The virtual desktop setup was still available when I left, for a few specific things, but in general everyone used a laptop.
