Ew. Why are all the chip manufacturers going along with this stupid plan? I want to buy a processor and then own it and have it work in my best interests, not consume electricity and generatie heat enforcing draconian 3rd party DRM policies.

Simple solution: don't care about up or down -votes. Believe me, Internet points are a sham and waste of time. Focus on interesting conversations and connections instead.

It is much worse than he thinks. If I was to write out the worse case scenario the MS employee would have no choice but to consider it.

Therefore win 13 will be a theme for ubuntu packaged with a FOSS version of office. MS will award large weekly prizes for the most useful FOSS app extending the eco system. It will be sold on multi TB external drives that work like live USB only daisy chained. Weekly new releases cramped with so much free stuff every neck beard around the world must own all of them. A few movies, some music, a game or 2. Each comes with a poster, a t shirt and a book. Prices go up and down using RNG making some releases rare and hard to get.

Reminds me of computer magazines bundled first with cassettes, then floppy disks then CDROMS, 80s to 90s. Occasionally some other gadgets too. Everybody like us was buying them.

I'm so confused... What are you two getting on about?

Is it just me or is it like two GPT-3 bots having a conversation?

Quite scary isn’t it? What a time to be alive. I’d never have believed that I am seriously questioning whether a conversation on the internet is real. Even after all the gpt3 quiz sites, like the one where you have to guess if the code is generated or real.

This is word soup.
