    They bought so many GPUs and RAM that will be worthless after the big bubble pop that they now need an alternative plan for that hardware. Brace yourselves to be sold virtual computers.

    I thought he just bought shit for a dollar and sold it for two. That’s pretty common even though he took a big bite of the customer base due to right place/right time dynamics. Why does falling into a shit load of money all of a sudden make you think that you know best on how society should proceed. It’s not just Bezos. Every single billionaire thinks that. Fuck 'em all.

      Not quite, he doesn’t demean himself by ‘buying’ anything, he just built a place where other people can buy stuff for a dollar and sell it for two, and Jeff takes a cut.

    I’d give up computing altogether, or even commit suicide if living mainly means being subservient to these soulless parasites.

      Live on. We need manpower to fight the upcoming fight. Every person counts.

      Don’t die for nothing. Die for something.

    I think I’ll pass. I’ve been going to too many lengths lately to keep my data in my possession. I have no interest in giving it Bezos.

    And the future thin client will just be a locked down chatgpt prompt. It will still suck just as much as it does now. You just won’t have choice.

    I’m comforted by the fact that we have such a substandard internet in Australia that the day would be over before an only online machine would even boot. And before you start, there’s no way I’d usr the flaky starlink solution either. I say “bring back the video store”. Where is Schitts Creek star Johnny Rose?
