If Rogers datacenters would burn to the ground today it would still not be soon enough, parasitic bullshit company that just got bought up by an investment company Qu or something, so now it’ll get even worse!

Compared to OVH, you literally pay 3x more to get 10x less hardware. Where OVH is boring with no outages, Rogers keeps shit interresting with weekly traditional unexplained outages, yay! Who wouldn’t want these numb nuts as a provider?

Good timing with the current fascism

It read like a threat until I saw the sub

Aaaaannddd I’ll be setting up my own encrypted chat server

And tgstd only because manufacturers are assholes with their support for open source drivers

Holy shit, thank you! Heliboard looks awesome

What do you think?

“All of it” would be my presumption

We could take the required money from the rich… bwhahahahaha! Of course not, let’s make the plebs work while sick so that they can sicken everyone at the office!

Welk then at least they’re monitoring the neighbors, not you, and if you still have an unsecured hotspot in 2026 you’re just asking for trouble

Disable those non connected options

You don’t really believe that companies actually stop monitoring the shot out of you, right?

Just don’t connect your smart TV to the Internet. Instead get some opens source TV stick, dump jellyfin on it, make your own little library and go nuts

Tax Wealth?

I want wealth caps!

Say, 10 million dollars, is simply the maximum amount of money anyone can have / control. Any income after that is 100% taxed

No more extreme riches

Governments get huge influx of resources which they can use for free healthcare, free education, universal basic income

Poverty could disappear. Poverty related crimes could disappear

Companies can no longer have huge share holders and owners, now requiring loads of smaller shareholders.

Limit company worths to max 1 billion too while we’re at it.l, because no ultra large company ever did something that was good for humanity

Now we have boat loads of smaller companies, makes your economy more stable

Since you can’t pass that wealth limit, incentives to screw over customers are gone because it won’t get you more anyway.

I can go on listing the benefits for another hour but you get the idea …

I literally can’t see bad sides to limiting wealth. It’s a simple rule to get control of the narcissist psychopaths that are ruining the world

Why haven’t we ever done that before?

EVs?

Yay, let’s continue with building cities for cars! Van you imagine, allowing human beings to just gasp walk around? Or *clutches pearls" drive bicycles? Ew! Worst of all: public transportation, oh noes!

I know you probably didn’t mean it like that but can we PLEASE focus on livable cities that are firstly designed for people, and lastly for cars where there isn’t another choice?

I so fucking miss the Netherlands, you can cycle everywhere, you can walk everywhere and sure, cars can get around where needed (still way too much, but at least there is some balance)

Design livable cities with goog cycling infrastructure and good public transportation and you can get rid of most cars in most cities

If you’d self hosted, it would still happen. Just in that case, on stead of Google handing over your data, you’d have to do it yourself at the risk of being jailed if you don’t.

The point it: if its data, you can be forced to hand it over. The only way to not having to hand over emails is it not store any emails at all anywhere

Just as an fyi, if you’d self hosted your services, they would probably subpoena you, and you would be obligated to give them all your data from your own server, and if you’d refus, your be in deep, deep shit

It doesn’t matter where you store data, if it’s stored, it can be used

This sort of this should get websites permabanned from Lemmy as a source.

Fuck you, dexerto

I’m guessing she is the new Ellen Pao for x-box? Xbox is cratering and they need some good scapegoat to push through some more nonsense, so they put her there and once shits really on fire, they can just point at her

CEO makes up delusional numbers and parades them around as if this is normal

I see somebody took the Elmo musk manual for becoming rich?

Some?

Besides tech companies peddling mal- and spyware, who else would not see this as progress?
