"The computer will be able to see what they see, hear what they hear... so shall we! and we're gonna make loads of money selling their data. Oh my!" :P
The future is bright. It always is with MS, because... I somehow doubt it it will be that bright for them, though, since less and less people like to use their OS as they keep shooting themselves in their feet.

I love my good old, boring Debian. Thanks MS.

I posted mine too late and didn't see your comment. Yeah, it's obvious, isn't it? lol

It is called "SharePoint" after all, not "SelfishPoint", right?

There are way too many people who don't know how to think critical, and are way too conformant. For such people, being a part of a "movement", a cult, is a matter of wellbeing and health, as they enjoy the attention and validation from their peers. Without it, they lose control. The 9th stage on is all about fear, actually. Fear of losing all that.

For as long as the 0.1% keep multiplying their billions, everything is fine.

When they start to lose too much money due to climate change, you're gonna hear about it, though!

Yes, modern hardware is becoming smaller, power efficient, and very capable. Have you heard of new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs? With Radeon 8060S graphics? Look it up: GMKtec AI Max+ 395 mini PC. These things are such great SOCs for gaming and very power efficient. For now they are only available with new laptops, but AMD will release a desktop version of them later this year. I can't wait. Also interesting is Nvidia N1X ARM chip. ARM gaming might take off next year with AMD, Intel and Nvidia all having some sort of nice, powerful and efficient ARM CPUs in development that can be used for running games and AI LLMs quite well.

Always remember that when you choose anything else but an Open Source app, you will find yourself bent and penetrated from behind sooner or later.

Especially in times of crisis, when people's standards of living are decreasing and they panic "profit, profit! we need more profit!" they're gonna do whatever it takes to make more profit and keep the standard of living the same.

Thank you so much for this! wow Red Alert used to be one of my favourites, then CnC, Warcraft and Starcraft. Cheers!

Those nutwits at Hollywood didn't take thousands of people who work their behinds off to make their bs go to screen, obviously. Those in the US were handsomely paid, but the outsourced ones were not. Now talk to me about DEI being so great for everybody.

I hope somebody will port these to LInux. Those are really great RTS games, possibly the greatest aside from Warcraft and Ages of Empire. It would give us retar(e)ds so much fun. :)

So you're saying the current system is without "parasites"?

There is no perfect system, and there will always be all kinds of people.

AGI could greatly help with stabilising that fusion reactor you mentioned. ;) AI is a great tool that is going to help us a lot, but just s any other tool, it could ne used for malicious purposes... this is what all of us is worried about.

I don't give a toss about what unwatchable films they make, finding enough fun on streaming sites, however I am on a watchout for good, watchable films when they eventually come around. 1 in 100? Fine with me. Funny thing is these companies have already lost tons of money on unwatchable films that I expect watchable ones come in droves pretty soon and all DEI weirdos laid off. Good.

Id they must use Windows, I don't know why they don't use Linux servers with terminals and virtualised Windows. It's so easy to maintain such systems. Maybe with time that would push the developers of this important software to make multi-os versions of it, or just a Linux version of it.

It not about "right mind". It's about money. Collecting data and selling it. What you paid for Windows is not enough.
