Ya well this one has been one of no regulations.

Depends on the instance.

Yeah which is why I don’t go there anymore lol

Ya and if you work in IT you probably use that acronym quite a bit. It’s always a mental struggle…

Maybe by definition, but in practice ICE looks like the military these days.

Interesting take.

Of course but where’s the money at? Search and rescue, or military?

Year I view it kind of like firearms. You can say you have one for self defence but they’re used more for crime and war and hunting.

“We cannot be proud of working at [Boston Dynamics] when that work is being used by a government agency that brutalizes civilians, including some of our own colleagues … ,” the petition read.

But like, what did they think their dogs would be used for? Walks in the park? Of bit ICE, then what?

Ah ya. Palantir will die! Except their other corp by some mysterious name doing the same thing, probably.

Jesus. I’m like all in on indie studios and old games. I don’t need this bullshit in my life. It’s already too much if a headache to comprehend what’s possibly worth it or not when you pay by the month or the hour to try and figure out budgets and so on. Cancel it all, play the old shit and pirate the rest.

Imagine they paid their licensing fees to a new FOSS project for a year, one which aims to functionally replace the core of these cloud suites. Like file sharing/hosting/email/chat all integrated similar to Google workspace and M365. That would be a huge win for the people.

Same ones that carry gps’s with microphones and several cameras and other sensors in their pockets all day which are controlled by these very types of corporations. Also the same ones that double down and wear the ones with additional sensors on their wrists.

I agree. “The cloud” is just the same shit but someone else is running it and it has a web based UI. There’s also ways to make libreoffice collaborative too hiw m365 office is. We don’t need it.

I called this over a decade ago. Embrace, extend, extinguish, now all the prices hike what seems like quarterly or biannually. Such a joke.

Imagine. Companies that instead pay X amount pay X*.25 or something. Small cost for the business compared to Microsoft and huge boost in revenue to improve OSS.

“Go play outside”

“Play with your toys”

“Do some arts and crafts”

“Listen to an audio book”

“Go read”

… So many ways parents can get a break, this is just the same but different in a more creepy way and using something that sucks up all our resources and takes our jobs.

Owe billions, not to the people they stole the data from. Just another day in corporate America.

Maybe not * here*

I came over well before that but I’d still land on the odd link from search or something. Then it asked me to sign in and now I ingore reddit links 🤷
