Microsoft is doing this ONLY because they finally recognized that Linux surpassed them flying on the one thing they were king: games
Microsoft doesn’t give a single shit about end users, never had. It always had the goal of becoming the dominant ayer, then get a monopoly, and then doing absolutely nothing anymore until users complain too much. This has been their work ethos since it’s inception and if you believe otherwise I have a bridge to sell you.
Ooohhhh revolutionary battery article #15592508
I’m sure this one won’t be bullshit and will come into production tomorrow, right?
Oh snap!
So is there a socket container for this? Wi wouldn’t mind wasting some hacker assholes time with this
I had an HP laser printer pre 2000, the thing was built like a tank and just always worked
Who cares if it’s true? Just ditch windows already
I’d say that 99.somethiny percent of open source software is also free as in beer
Come to think of it, I can’t remember ever having seen open source software that required payment
There has been a computer revolution for sure
There has been a mobile phone revolution, absolutely
There was even a social media revolution, changed the way we interact
AI, though, so far has been just “the next it fad” in the 2-5 year cycle, like NFT before it, like Crypto currencies before that, and what was it before that? Web 3.0, then before that there was… Trying to remember… cloud computing? Each of these fads had minor to no influence.in how we did things, and for AI we only just added in stupidity of writing documents with AI which completely misses the point why we write those documents to begin with
Is it, though?
Maybe she just made more money than she can ever spend and decided to just enjoy life, doing what she actually likes vs. what pays well
Daniel Radcliffe is a great example of that. He was set for life by the time he was 18 and he decided to just take jobs for fun. So we see Radcliffe in these rather obscure and weird quirky movies. It’s not because he’s washed up, it’s because he’s washed over and done and he’s just having fun
Not saying I know for sure it’s the same for without her spoon, but I think people react weird when an A list celebrity gets a bit quieter
And sites handling every link with JavaScript, making Ctrl - click to open in a new tab impossible
Fuck all sites that break basic browser functions
To paraphrase someone:
You need to win every time. I need you to lose only once.
Anyone thinking that this won’t pass this time, or next year, or the year after that or the year… They will push this as a new thing, wrapping the same bullshit lies in a new paper each time…
Eventually it’ll pass, it always does. All they need is patience
The only possible cou ter to this is to enshrine the right to own a computer and internet access into your constitution or something like that.
Walmart now?
Have there been more fire bombings?
Waluigi?
I’m too scared to look it up
What’s up with the AI slop image for this post?
Also, Mozilla is destroying Firefox by themselves, they don’t need help from m$
What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless… I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I’m already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)
I guess I’m looking for a “download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list” type thing
wealth caps
world wide…
Yeah, it will be hard for the rich to accept that, but its better and easier than switching to a completely different system like communism.
Just continue with everything the same, with a whole bunch of tax brackets, but after 10 million dollar networth is reached, 100% of your income goes to taxes until you’re below the threshold again.
This is a fairly simple rule to implement with huge consequences. Nobody can become a billionaire anymore. Nobody can hoard wealth, wealth will spread to the poor now as well, feeding a middle class that was starved, to become the biggest group
Governments now get a huge income stream that they can use for free education, free housing, free healthcare, universal basic income.
Since nobody can become insanely rich anymore, you will have less people push for the get rich quick schemes. Companies will cheat way less because why? It won’t get you any extra income if you hit the limit already, so why would you? Nobody is insanely rich, so nobody is insanely powerful either, so no more trumps, no more musks. Greed will actually stop if you put a hard limit on how much you can be worth.
Prices of goods would go down to normal again. Can’t own a 100M dollar home if your max worth is 10M. A family of 2 could potentially own a 20M home, but they would have no money left for anything else, like food. Art will once again be priced normally and most art can return to the museums for everyone to enjoy.
Big-ass billion dollar company? Well, that requires at least 100 share holders, but they would not be able to own anything besides that company because again, hard caps. Company shares rise? Great! Now some of your shares will go to the government because hard caps. You don’t want to lose money just because the shares go down, so you will likely share your shares over multiple companies. So you’ll end up with more smaller companies with many many more owners and shareholders. No more single venture capital company that can buy up companies to then shred them out.
I could go on for a while, but you get the picture.
I would say that 10M is much, still, I would even go for a cap on 5M.
That is the question in the end: Is it ethically good. The question of “Does some imaginary god like it” doesn’t really matter
In other words, lets please add wealth caps world wide. If nobody can get richer than, say, 10 million dollars, then things change quickly, and its a relatively simple change to implement
Imagine if humanity would spend all this energy and effort into things that would actually benefit humanity world wide. Medicine and medical personnel, food research and production, education, housing, care for the elderly…
Oh man, this world could be so nice…
