Neither did the bird.

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.
Then do it. You even get pro rated back for what you’ve already paid for the month. Literally go do it right now in like 90 seconds.
When it stops being viable. They have no commitment to the company. They’ll suck it dry and move on to the next project.
Yeah, but if you aren’t being sold subscription services, then there’s no stream of recurring revenue, and if that happens quarterly earnings won’t show a graph going up. Which means shareholders can’t go afford their backup vacation house and CEOs yachts will be a few inches shorter. Honestly, think of the yachts next time.
It works for kitboga
Lol as if people have a choice and there isn’t a monopoly on ISP coverage
Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn’t the WTF. When you’re working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn’t be). The company wants to maintain it’s security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.
It’s not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn’t some mega shady weird thing.
“the cloud isn’t tech it’s a rental company” is a pretty dumb take tbh.
Like, if you’re trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don’t provide technical solutions that aren’t available otherwise you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are ‘rentals’ to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn’t really ‘tech’, but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much ‘tech’.
You say everyone hates then but honestly it’s really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that’s part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can’t even imagine a world where they aren’t constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.
Personally I’m vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don’t see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.
It’s for the person paying for the hosting and maintaining the server to decide what they want their server to do
cries in proprietary
Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I’ve never really had an issue with Firefox performance.
Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I’ll notice from the browser level. And I’m happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.
Which, given the context that planes are necessary, you continue to ignore the OP:
And then your justification for not privatizing is cronyism. So the government contracts for air travel = bad, but the ones for your project are… good??
Your comment was really just a soap box to say air=bad, trains=good. I’m not going to argue trains are bad, but maybe make an honest argument for it.
