Isn’t this the blue hammer guy?

It really isn’t. The encryption itself still hasn’t been defeated. The implementation is the problem. Microsoft just can’t get out of their own way. If they ignored all the business majors, nobody would be able to stop them.

I really want a Linux DE that can take advantage of this. Virtual desktops and multiple monitors are nice but this is potentially so much better.

Gas is expensive and everyone wants cheap EVs. Gas come down when EVs gain traction, cycle repeats again. Nobody learns.

That’s the problem. This is one of those things that you gain momentum in, not simply experience. You can lose that momentum.

Tech bros are going to end up enslaving us to this shit.

That’s well known. We even did that with the original iPod back in the day.

Well an educated populace has always been a threat to those in power so I understand why the old bat would be so volatile.

Regulations used to exist to break that that behavior. But they were either removed over time or not enforced. It can be done. It used to be. It wasn’t flawless but it wasn’t what we have today either.

Which is fine. Demand now drops future prices to the floor because the hard part is already done and there’s literally zero reason to do it again.

Proxy the full website through a remote session then. My phone can hit the site off a pc at home easy enough.

They are literally already recycling EV batteries.

There is a reason for that. The single-rom-for-multiple-phones idea does t really make practical sense for a security-focused ROM. It has different design pressures. Right now they are rationing their resources are targeting specific hardware. They are already branching out with other vendors but that’s going to take time to do right.

Force is a bit much. They are using an existing set of tools to build their OS.

Lithium is reusable like aluminum. Even if we stayed lithium batteries forever it’s fine since we wouldn’t have to mine much anymore. Most aluminum is recycled.

I can appreciate the desire for such things but there’s a lot to be said about keeping the pressures as they are.

Websites should follow old unix philosophy, frankly. Interoperate with eachother to some extent but each should focus on their core purpose. The business goon ideal of the everything site is terrible for everyone.

They finally figured out the way to beat a narcissist:

Just say no.

“Yes I shot the guy but he was an AI data center” would make a good episode of love death and robots.

You can chip away at power structures and resist them. You still lose but leave them weakened and more vulnerable to the next to challenge them. Eventually they fall.

If you comply instead, you strengthen the power structures that do harm anyway.

The only rational move is to resist.

Cooperation, negotiation, working together address grievances with minimal loss of life is the plan A.

If the opposite side is unwilling to do that, history shows killing them off is the best option.
