So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!
This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.
At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.
Monopoly busting. Ecosystem lock-in. Right to repair. Software patent reform. Privacy and AI regulation.
What do lawmakers even do these days anyway?
We should just use second notation for everything.
I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!
See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!
Next week? About half a Megasec!
Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?
I mean, yea. Happy to have AI as a player in the free market, the problem is that it requires a $0 salary so, kind of unbeatable as far as capitalism is concerned.
Why pay $1 to make $2, when you can pay $0 to make any number over zero? It scales infinitely, unlike the planets resources or human tolerance.
DAE feel like they woke up one day recently and “AI” suddenly has the answer to EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM EVER? Yet, nothing is getting noticeably better?
“AI” doesn’t have to work a dead end job to feed its family, or turn to alcohol because it’s lonely and scared of being forgotten. It’s training data is a curated version of the human experience based on the Internet!
It’s playing human instead of being human and ALL of its solutions will assume that’s “normal.”
Imagine a five star general googling “should I attack this country?” That’s silly right? Well that’s what’s happening. It’s just being wrapped in a way that makes it look novel.
These are algorithms designed to mimic humans. When faced with any actual controversy they must be persuaded to answer in an “acceptable” and predetermined manner.
The golden rule.
Someone with a degree weigh in here. All these big tech companies are buying 100% sustainable energy, reducing their carbon footprint YOY, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference on global GHG.
What accounts for the increase? Purely population increase plus consumption?
Ah yes, the “local taxi lobby.” Uber helped show a lot of us what a fucking joke that is, not just in Ottawa.
Innovation, choice, quality and freedom are the choice spices for capitalism soup. These shit-cook-legislators kept sprinkling in taint like protectionism, cronyism, extortion and corruption thinking nobody would notice. Well guess what? Now it’s just taint soup.
Why does it matter who’s serving you taint soup? The problem is there’s no other soup and they keep telling you it’s fine.
There never was love for flatpaks and there never will be. I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.
Buy the dip!!!
Vendor lock-in is 100 times worse today than it was 20 years ago. It’s vile, insidious and borderline cruel. Microsoft doesn’t want to work with anyone, they never have and they never will.
Any feelings of openness and cooperation you get from them is engineered, from the ground up, to ensure that they are in a position of control over you.
Their crack security team is not the result of some spontaneous and sudden desire to protect their customers. It’s a consequence of having to constantly triage the financial impacts of a never-ending stream of critical vulnerabilities.
Labelling this proprietary shit “ecosystems” is insulting to ecosystems. They mere notion that you should be using Microsoft software to monitor, secure and protect your Microsoft software is downright ridiculous.
Microsoft is not the only, and maybe not even the worst, in a long list of hand-wringing, life-sucking, progress-hindering companies who people will willingly defend because these companies have forced their way into becoming a part of our identities.
That makes more sense.
So any comment or post?
In Germany they pronounce it VasMan.
It can be on instances with lots of users and open signups.
Donate to the Lemmy project, but also look at donating to your instance / instance admin. It ain’t free to host and operate this stuff.
That’s fair. Also, it seems like the more narrow the focus of a community the better, since they are together for a common interest. Expecting a news aggregator to not be political is a bit of a pipe dream. :) I need more coffee.
The pricing scheme here is designed to gouge businesses for equal or more than the traditional non-cloud equivalent. Which happens to be completely unaffordable. Imagine buying a new enterprise grade server for your home setup.
