@fsf How about just abolishing school altogether? That's the real slavery.

Reminder that ALL celebrities are puppets of the Jesuit Order. They even die by the #Gematria code.

@ChristiJunior Take note that he says "bucks" as in dollars and not leu (Romania's official currency). More proof that Christi is just an American fed LARPing as a Romanian.

@beardalaxy @binkle @coolboymew I mean, there will always be use cases for local computing, such as embedded systems and devices that have no reason to connect to the Internet or any network at all. There are still variants of Windows for those purposes and they seem to be the only ones that don't require you having a Microsoft account to use. Someone even made a custom Windows 8 embedded ISO that supposedly stripped all of the telemetry, but it requires a product key to keep it legal (or at least in a legal gray area), and keys for embedded versions of Windows are ridiculously expensive.

Businesses love cloud computing because before that, you had to set up your own intranets along with file servers, email servers, VPN servers, etc. And even then, it was difficult (if not impossible) to fully their employee's work activity. It's because of them that sometimes people have no choice but to use Google Drive because nobody knows how to email files or transfer files via removable storage anymore.

@binkle @coolboymew I'm pretty sure this will lead to the biggest exodus to Linux yet. It won't be a majority but it will be a significant number. I know a lot of people (namely PC gamers) who hate cloud-computing but still use Windows. This could be their breaking point.

Of course, Microsoft could force hardware manufacturers to only allow Windows on their computers, but we can always point them to companies like System76.

@Tony @PurpCat The Fedi started out with mostly FOSS enthusiasts, libertarian-learning people, and even some socialists (non-idpol types). Then Mastodon tried to brand it as it's own and called it "Twitter without the Nazis". Then, Gab refugees and later Poast brought the "far-right/third-position" culture on here (though there were a few even before then).

The fedi doesn't really have a set in stone culture. You have racist anons talking about the JQ, people who like to shitpost and post porn, tech-enthusiasts, and even people who are otherwise normies, but just hate big-tech. It's just the whole blocking culture (even the racists anons will block people they disagree with) keeps everyone fragmented and stuck inside their own little bubble.

@Tony @PurpCat Another thing to keep in mind is that when Gab federated with ActivityPub, a lot of people ended up jumping ship to other instances like FSE because they realized how much of a better experience it was on there. The same could be said with Meta. And before you screech "muh normies" just remember that a lot of us on here used to be one of them before getting into things like the FOSS movement, GamerGate, or what have you.

@Tony @PurpCat We just need the vast majority of instances not to comply with any rules that Meta enforces while also encouraging anyone who is interested in the Fedi to use any instance other than Meta's. Meta will either be forced to drop their shitty demands or drop their instance all together.
