A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.
Bucha Bull to me.
Step 1: Raise sales prices artificially
Step 2: Create affordable alternatives to rent.
Step 3: Wait until enough people claim that its cheaper and more comfortable to just rent.
Step 4: Wait until maket is destroyed.
Step 6: Raise prices.

Unsurprising that capitalists want to seize all the means of computation for themselves.
I’ll give up computers entirely before I rent one from you greedy pricks.
Everything a subscription. You’ll own nothing and like it!
And, people, I can’t stress this enough, FUCK JEFF BEZOS!
At the same time I’m seeing a bunch of ads for “hardware is getting too expensive, use Akamai cloud for your gaming etc instead, now with AI blah blah!”
Bitch, you’re the reason hardware is so expensive!
When AWS had the major outage recently, my self-hosted services kept on running. The programs on my Linux machines and other devices I own were also not impacted. Thanks, Jeff, but I’ll stick with my “antiques”. Also, fuck you.
“Hopes”, more like will be doing a bunch of anti-competitive bullshit to ensure that this is your only option.
Yeah bud, maybe if you get just a little more money, you’ll finally be complete. Just a little more money…
How about fuck you Jeff.
Imagine the unparalleled censorship when the far-right tech elites decide what you can do on “your” computer.
Fuck you Jeff.
Nothing is ever enough for these greedy fucks
Good luck with that.

Murica is a deranged shithole. Linux is our only way out of this. To all hardware manifacturers: Build your goddamn drivers for it and free us!
~cry in the capitalist vacuum…
Fuck that shit. Switch to Linux.
