is this turning into a /tinhat discussion?

What ?, that you cannot trust the internet ?. And MS expect you too.

Good point!

I mean, you probably downloaded your entire OS from them, so... yes, there is an implied trust.

Right, but that should be one heck of an editorial, because things like this, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist or try to play down the issue hoping it's going to be "just fine", are fundamentally opposing ideas and visions, that make private computer ownership and most of the reason TPU exists pretty much obsolete.

Same way "smart" cars consequentially make personal car ownership obsolete. This celebratory tone of the press release is only a celebration of the corporations taking over what little freedoms the pesants have left.

Hint: This was Microsofts and the whole silicon valley vision all along, they talk about it all the time anyway, what does the future bring what does the future hold, it's nothing more than propaganda for what they want the future to be and are deciding it for you. So this is really nothing new, all of this always-in-the-effing-cloud was planned long ahead.

You guys think you'll have freedom on Linux? Not so fast, that place is also heavily under a cult and subcults with heavy university influence, hardly a sprawling place of original and creative grassroots advanced home users, you'll have to look quite a bit deeper to find them, and most linux users on the mainstream distros are mostly mainstream users who don't really do anything cool or advanced with the OS anyway, so much effort goes into GUIs and making things look pretty for moves and music, that's such a waste of time IMO. There's a lot of basic standard things that I can do on Windows for work purposes that are literally impossible on linux, some programs that I on windows think of them are like air and water just don't even exist there, so I had a lot of heavy WTF moments, but it depends on the distro and it's GUI, Linux really isn't what I imagined to be at all, all the videos, images, descriptions out there give you a false sense of what Linux is like, until you try it.

So Linux community doesn't share the same mindset in many ways of what many advanced Windows users share, so there's going to be disagreements, but users with multiple OS and who used Win and Linux for many years are the key people to bridge this gap, you simply want to get sometihng done and use sense, you're not playing a fanboy and you simpyl use the pros of both systems and that's it, that's the most optimal approach, there's no need to fanboy a particular system, but there are philosophical and ideological rules as to how things should work, and if something is easier and better ... but it has some other things then no, I don't want the convenience of a cloud system, I can handle being my own administrator my self, and hopefully enough people stand up again this corporate takeover.

Literally in the news I saw today, but it's been mentioned before, is this Blackrock group buying up suburb homes with overpaying them:

BlackRock, other investment firms 'killing the dream' of home ownership, journalist says

Risk and investment management titan BlackRock is among several firms pushing working families out of the housing market and into rentals journalist Pedro Gonzalez told "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

BlackRock owns America's homes — and a whole lot else

If you've been thinking of buying a house, you've probably noticed that house prices are soaring everywhere, not just in the usual preferred ZIP codes. You might have thought this is simply because of market deformations thank...
