I will go back to running a fucking 386 before I rent cloud space from the beez
I’d rather have no PC than a cloud PC.
And I’m a computer scientist, so that’s saying something ! I’d sooner switch careers to lumberjack (lumberjane ? What’s the feminine ?) than have to work on that feudal nonsense.
I’ve seen the term “lumberjill” (because Jack and Jill, I guess), but don’t know if it’s common or even in use.
lumberjoline?
LumberJackie
I’d not rather have no PC.
I’ll just keep my existing PC(s).
Also I guess it’d Lumberjacky/Lumberjacqueline
It doesn’t take 3nm/2nm chips to make a great computer. The Switch 2 is has a Samsung 8nm SoC. Steam Deck is TSMC 7nm. A Steam Deck has a better processor than my Intel N150 NAS. We don’t need the strongest hardware for self hosting. Don’t need it for a good gaming experience. Someday we’ll get second hand server parts salvaged into home equipment. The PS5 had that jailbreak. That can someday be a useful Linux machine. Someday the Xbox Series. Someday there’ll be a wave of RISC-V SBC’s that are better than the most recent raspberry pi
Fuck that, I want to own my shit and will build my own fucking server before renting space in a corporate owned server.
The quiet part is what they plan to do with your data. Spoiler: nothing good.
What so you can spy on us and other shit you ghoulish fuck. Fuck you bezos

This is mostly unrelated to the post, but, similarly to everything being “slammed” I’m tired of everyone “saying the quiet part out loud”.
Starting to see the real motive behind the “AI hardware” hoarding.
And when we don’t he’ll just use AWS to make our PCs worse on the net than his cloud services?
Oh god. In the future we’ll need open source resistance-like computer part manufacturing.
This is increasingly possible, I’ve seen people fab their own chips at home
I will build my own in a garage…use wood for the case…
Now that’s what I call “owning nothing, and renting everything”. This is one of the stupidest things you’ll do to people. This is why we Linux.
I’m game.
I like campuses with dumb terminals and private clouds, where you can restore your session from any building at any desk.
There’s reasons for thin clients and cloud computing. It should absolutely not be in the hands of greedy companies though.
Yep. Sometimes computers in the cloud are your own computers.
Plan9
you’ll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud
