hahahahahah does anyone really think microsoft cares? their money is in business with all the big players already deploying 11 at least in modest amounts.

nothing stopped them when windows7 was still functional and they were pushing the tpm requirement, i dont see a difference here.

and behold all of the terrible consequences!

World Liberty Financial, or WLF

are these the guys that sell wolf cola

ahh oops. i was reading the line under his image where it implied he succeeded.

i was thinking his face read “mission accomplished”

must be some great vpn pushin 180Mb/s

your isp already knows youre streamin nonsense from microsoft. this wont trigger anything

your premise seems invalid on its face. i would argue that google did not, actually, kill xmpp. that protocol is still in use today, its just not popular.

again, the biggest problem the fediverse has is just threads having a better product on the same, open protocol. eee? ha, whatever

ha, that makes no sense.

yep. this is exactly why i wont defederate threads. i want to give those users an option, but still be able to talk to their friends.

theres a bunch of … people… who think that meta will somehow take over the activtypub protocol and fuck everyone over, but that just cant happen with the consortium as it is.

the only thing people have to fear from meta on the fediverse is a better interface attracting more users than other servers… and if you cant solve that you deserve to fail

i know a guy who still does this. mapquest->print … hes not even that old… just dumb as a brick.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service

just another corporate managed behemoth. their interfaces are slick, but the federation lacking

yep, people that loved walled gardens like twitter will absolutely love bluesky

release it or dont. i hate this spamvertisement/countdown bullshit

my collection is small compared to some, but ive got about 22 4tb drives in use in various arrays… but its mostly video.

most users already dont use what theyve got. its more about reducing physical size for the masses… these new techs will allow for even smaller storage for thinner, more efficient devices.

i think only some power users (im a data horader) and commercial interests care about bulk storage

so monopoly is really the game of life?
