I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.

The pricing scheme here is designed to gouge businesses for equal or more than the traditional non-cloud equivalent. Which happens to be completely unaffordable. Imagine buying a new enterprise grade server for your home setup.

Ah yes, the “local taxi lobby.” Uber helped show a lot of us what a fucking joke that is, not just in Ottawa.

Innovation, choice, quality and freedom are the choice spices for capitalism soup. These shit-cook-legislators kept sprinkling in taint like protectionism, cronyism, extortion and corruption thinking nobody would notice. Well guess what? Now it’s just taint soup.

Why does it matter who’s serving you taint soup? The problem is there’s no other soup and they keep telling you it’s fine.

Was the OP a blahaj account, or someone from a different instance?

I had a “bearstein effect” moment just now. I had thought wireshark sold out. Like “Wireshark by Rapid7,” but i just checked and it looks like they’ve stayed the FOSS course! Way to go!

Vendor lock-in is 100 times worse today than it was 20 years ago. It’s vile, insidious and borderline cruel. Microsoft doesn’t want to work with anyone, they never have and they never will.

Any feelings of openness and cooperation you get from them is engineered, from the ground up, to ensure that they are in a position of control over you.

Their crack security team is not the result of some spontaneous and sudden desire to protect their customers. It’s a consequence of having to constantly triage the financial impacts of a never-ending stream of critical vulnerabilities.

Labelling this proprietary shit “ecosystems” is insulting to ecosystems. They mere notion that you should be using Microsoft software to monitor, secure and protect your Microsoft software is downright ridiculous.

Microsoft is not the only, and maybe not even the worst, in a long list of hand-wringing, life-sucking, progress-hindering companies who people will willingly defend because these companies have forced their way into becoming a part of our identities.

And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.

That makes more sense.

So any comment or post?

• Should we/let’s defederate with X?

It can be on instances with lots of users and open signups.

Can you click “sync” and install the OneDrive client? That “mounts” the folder locally and you might be able to treat it just like a normal file.

Do you mean recorded teams meetings or just a video file on a SharePoint site? Is it embedded, or just a file in document collection/OneDrive?

Donate to the Lemmy project, but also look at donating to your instance / instance admin. It ain’t free to host and operate this stuff.

Crab people… crab people… 🎵

Isn’t it only if you have something configured in display name?

We should charge for API use now. :)

I think the exception is companies “too big to die.” They serve as the archangels of tech so ALL other goals lead to being bought by FAANG or dying.

I am not ambitious enough unfortunately, and probably not smart enough either.

It’s a game of leapfrog and it’s at a little bit of a stalemate because people just pay $5/mo. for a VPN. It was a monetization race and that’s were we landed. I’m sure copyright holders are not happy with that, but there’s no incentive to develop or change anything because who doesn’t have $5/mo?

It used to be that just being on the internet made you trusted enough to get the warez. I don’t know how to keep the movement alive with big brother watching out for his homies so hard. Decentralize, encrypt and anonymize I suppose. BT needs an overhaul to prevent attribution. Ten bucks says it’s easily possibile but the VPN companies who have our back will lobby against it, lol.
