    I worked in a Citrix environment for long enough to know this is just stupid.

    The people who would be okay with this already don’t own computers, they go with a phone.

    I’m comforted by the fact that we have such a substandard internet in Australia that the day would be over before an only online machine would even boot. And before you start, there’s no way I’d usr the flaky starlink solution either. I say “bring back the video store”. Where is Schitts Creek star Johnny Rose?

    I’d give up computing altogether, or even commit suicide if living mainly means being subservient to these soulless parasites.

      Live on. We need manpower to fight the upcoming fight. Every person counts.

      Don’t die for nothing. Die for something.

    I think I’ll pass. I’ve been going to too many lengths lately to keep my data in my possession. I have no interest in giving it Bezos.

    And the future thin client will just be a locked down chatgpt prompt. It will still suck just as much as it does now. You just won’t have choice.

      I had a friend who was a true believer in Stadia, he even sold his gaming PC as he was gaming in Stadia full time.

      When Stadia shut down he told me “at least I get to keep the controller”

    We all keep hoping he’ll stop being a greedy asshole and he hasn’t tried to do that so i guess we’ll all have to live with the disappointment.
