Microslop promising to improve windows 11 and give users agency back.

5 minutes later…

Soon Microsoft will threaten to kill itself if we leave.

Being in an economic bubble during the age of (over)information is really weird. We’re getting two articles per day confirming that we’re in a big ass bubble but it just keeps on going. I preferred not really knowing how bad things are.

Trust me bro, just one more data center, bro, I swear, just one more trillion dollar contract and we’ll fix everything, bro please, just a little killing bro, it’ll be fine, trust me.

Weirdest thing about this is that it would actually be comforting to me if there was a villain executing an elaborate plan. Instead it’s just greed that drives it. You put a regular joe through business school, give em a CEO position with shareholders breathing down their neck and they’ll start pushing shit down their customers throats in no time.

They have achieved higher productivity by not using teams themselves.

the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months

I can see this working against bacteria and viruses but how does it block allergens? Isn’t an overly strong immune reaction how they start to begin with?

You guys gotta stop talking like that or I’m going to bing.

We should assemble a team of billionaires and send them down there in a plastic submarine. For…science.

I wonder what that person’s answer was when as a kid they got asked what they want to be when they grow up. Fireman? Astronaut? Pedophile PR? Well congratulations.

Don’t give them ideas

It’s horrible. We already had that stuff figured out. Wiki pages and forums to make information accessible even after 20 minutes have passed. Fuck that development and everyone that was/is pushing for that.

Are these people that only you can see telling you to burn everything down again, Satya?

Let’s not forget, it took years for Wikipedia to even notice Neelix, the Wikipedia admin who made over 80,000 pages/links about titties.

He was just out there spreading the word of boobah but yeah this stuff can go under the radar for a while.

The problem lies in noticing them in the first place. If you make a thousand legit edits to various articles and then make some slight changes on some rich clients page chances are nobody will register this. Then again we’re on the internet so there’s always at least one guy who’d hyperfocus on monitoring something like this. The hero we need.

“How much to let me poop on your chest?”

“I’m sorry I don’t so this kind of t-[he pulls out 4 32GB DDR5 RAM sticks] …OKEYDOKEY!”

10 years is not a long time and once the cat is out of the bag it’s rather difficult to get it back in.

It was the same for other manufacturing. You can’t manufacture most commercial items at a competitive price not just because the difference in labor cost but because there’s simply nobody left that is capable of doing it at scale in the US or Europe.

We’re just trying to help those nerds spend less time on their PC, you see? Yes, we produce memory but at our core we’re a grass touching company.

First they came for our neighbors and I didn’t say anything.

Then they came for family members and I didn’t say anything.

Then they took my chicken tendies and I was mad but didn’t say anything.

BUT…when they take my PC I will REEEEEEEEEEE
