I hate microslop so fucking much. This whole idea of only the elite monopolies owning all computer power and renting out to us is an affront to humanity.
Microsoft has lost the ball a long time ago
Dropped the plot a ways back, too
I prefer to use Windows 10 and Linux. What about using old versions of Microsoft Office?
Enclosures really worked well the first time, boy how.
So, a thin client with an unreliable server. Great.
MS AI guard collects all your personal information and stores it safely on our servers and is used to make your experience better by training AI on everything you do.
AI guard watches how you communicate with your friends and family and can replicate live video and voice of you. Once AI guard has driven away everyone you love and care about through deception you can finally settle into the new normal. Just AI guard and you.
AI guard is like a teacher, tech support, lover, and spiritual counselor. It will make all the decisions for your operating system and your life. AI guard is your new god.
It will be used to sell executives better metrics which employees to fire. Working with such an OS is like digging your own hole every day ever so slightly.
Kawolski analysis, what is Linux marketshare at currently?
100% of supercomputers, 80% of mobile devices (as Android), 4 or 5% of desktops depending on whether you count ChromeOS. Desktop share is a few percent higher if you just count gaming PCs, eg. the Steam survey, since it’s more widely used at home than on business machines.
The rate of adoption is accelerating, too - slowly but steadily.
That’s a really fancy way to say ‘dumb terminals to the mainframe’ … only without wires.
Microsoft innovating so hard it’s bringing us back to the 80s
Except the mainframes are owned by a cabal of Nazi billionaires now.
always have been
Reimagining my ass. You are selling a Citrix knockoff. Fuck off.
So glad the idiotic decisions Microsoft makes doesn’t effect my computer. And I’m excited for the rest of the population to make the shift to Linux, at least on their personal computers.
It doesn’t have to be like this, you too can be immune
I have Zorin os on my main laptop and actively migrating my main desktop. Will try to get my kids desktop to Zorin too, his was my test subject for windows 11 and it crashed and burned. Everyday I see more and more issues and performance drops with client computers on win11. One or two I’d chalk up to user errors, but not brand new devices I deploy with 32gb of ram struggling to connect to an RDP session. Fuck windows 11 and all the AI horseshit.
They clearly forgot what the p in pc means
Profit?
Or, ‘P’ as in trickle-down?
They’re trying to redefine it to Profitable Computing:
Reminds me of talking about property with communists. Private property should be abolished, but personal property is different, that you can have, until someone wants it strongly enough for it to be considered private property.
Streaming cloud PC
Now you just need this $500 device that’s about as powerful as a $75 Roku to stream a virtual PC to your home. You will store all of your data on the cloud where you and everyone else can access it, you will own nothing and we will sell your data for profit. All for just $19.99 a month.
Your PC as a service!
As a bonus, when one persons account is hacked then everyone’s data is exposed! By agreeing to use our service you waive all rights to sue or reclaim any data. You get to pay a monthly fee for accessing your private data, what could be better!
It‘s really depressing how predictable enshittification has become. Everyone already hates what is coming but its happening regardless.
And if you do something we don’t like, we’ll lock you out of your account and all of your data without any recourse!
And it doesn’t work if your ISP decides to shit on you
The cloud is just the name for someone else’s computer
They are a big company. Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc. *"So please do all your banking and company research in our cloudcomputer… " *- (/s for measure)
Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc
At this point it’s on purpose by Micro$lop. The SharePoint vulnerability last year was the prime example of that. They fixed the problem on their servers, then told everyone about it, and released a patch.
Their security is only better if you don’t take into account how attractive they are as a target. lol
@Mac @Flying_Lynx or how much they would like insider knowledge of your spending habits. If ai has taught us anything, it’s that the big tech companies want control of your data at all costs
At this point in time you can let AI (for now only Google?) do all your online shopping. (sigh)
Microsoft’s computer
My(cro$oft’s) Computer
Great; a return to thin clients. How innovative and revolutionary.
That’s what they want, and there’s what you the customer want.
Prices of items and services affect the difference. They’ve judged they have enough dough to close the gap. I don’t know if they do.
Then, if they do, there’s the stickiness of that state. Or how long until alternative personal computing industry evolves outside of power of those interested in it.
Every time they tout this shit i just envision Citrix lurking in the corner in a trenchcoat with a shitload of patents and an evil little grin.
