- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 3 days ago:
Sounds convenient after not long ago they cut production on the back of slowing demand.
“AI” more like thinly veiled business cartel on the back of low to no chances of law enforcement and regulation.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 2 weeks ago:
When any AI hyper rants about AI/AGI ask this 1 simple question.
what happens to income.
Thing is capitalism requires income. Without it, it collapses. We have already sold future income (debt) and attention (ads and personal information) is sold as well. If AGI occurs: robots occur; and the snake eats itself.
It’s going nowhere. Relax, touch some grass and let the hype cycle disappear.
If it does happen, the discussion becomes all about income not how many employees we fired last month to make line go up. Cause next month line is ded.

Economic policies will start shifting to inflation reducing by raising interest rates. This is purely inflationary in all economies and it’s hilariously going to tank stock trading.

Find a culture you like and language you think is interesting and learn. No need to make it a chore, turn it into something positive and maybe go visit ands find someone to talk to in their native language and even better wants to learn yours!

Meh its a seriously dated OS thats had layers of lipstick added onto the turd all the while gaslighting its customers while stealing from them.
Its beyond insecure, hasn’t innovated in a long time and their answer to this? Online accounts and slop to steal more customer data…
Stockholm syndrome in PCs is very real.

End users… … aren’t paying shit
Users dont pay for the services. Okaay.
Well done you know how sales tax works. Customers pay the business. Business pays the Government. My point.
Swing and a miss on all points.
FYI I used the common terms for your benefit, you sounded American.

Is history at this point
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 5 months ago:
Call things what they are, not a tax.
You should practice it.
Levy is a Tax.
opposition requires
Doesn’t require anything. It only requires personal opinion. Parliament runs on it.
Of course the privacy impact is huge. privacy just does not matter to the average working voting person trying to put groceries on the table.
MPs wont change the stance here because people want to be protected by anonymity. Frankly they won’t change stance at all. Its a certainty at this point.
But it will increase the cost of business which will be passed on and definitely exploited.
“Wont somebody think of the children”
Plenty of children starving in the UK because Government services cant raise revenue to maintain existing levels of public services.
I look to the UK and see the future of western economies. Boned badly, society highly controlled with a large overall tax burden, years of immigration to keep the budget balaced on paper increasing the impact all to delay the fallout. And yes while this will most likely not register a blip to the CPI, its still yet another cut in the wrong direction.

Levy, lol.
Call it what it is: a tax.
A burden on the population. No amount of dirty politics changes the fact. Taxes do not all get directly paid to gavernment. Like sales taxes, service tips ect
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 5 months ago:
It very much is.
Doesn’t matter who or how its recovered. Its still a state mandated cost, aka tax.
Every single piece of legislation costs the population. They all add to the worsening costs of living. In times of economic crisis these costs need to come down not up.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 5 months ago:
Read my post, you really didn’t read it.
I’ll spell it out.
State created the law. That creates a cost to be recovered. How that cost is recovered is irrelevant, it’s s state mandated cost aka tax.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 5 months ago:
How these taxes are applied either reimbursed, taxed directly, or passed on: its still is a tax burden increasing the cost of living. This and previous Government’s have only further worsened the problem. The police state reduces life expectancy.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 5 months ago:
UK has a massive federal budget problem and they still keep increasing expenditure on surveillance. That social value is negative at this point as its taking money away from critical services. Well done to the Government continuing the worsen debt, health, and wellbeing of the population.

- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 6 months ago:
Azure is tiny compared to the competition.
363 is much more successful comparatively. That said, its dying fast, with the utter garbage service upgrades, its enshitified hard into a rigid platform unsuitable for enterprises. So find/make a real alternative to EXO with the Outlook app: and 365 ends over night.
