If the end goal for these companies is to end consumer access to computing technologies only to sell them as services, like how the housing market has been going for a long time, then we need government regulation more than ever to prevent that. Representative governments should not be allowing consolidization of corporations, especially with such dependent offerings, to monopolize entire industries because it is a hazard to public development and maintainability. Outside of govs blocking deals and prosecuting top level executives for collusion, the employees would need to rise up and starve the beast of air to put an end to it. That is a harder and riskier route. Consumer boycotts won't work. Greed is a powerful enemy.
In the end, we may get the Cyberpunk future that some of us wanted.

btw, the #Epstein case and how it's being covered up should matter to everyone
It involves horrific crimes by powerful and wealty people who control (American) lives on a daily basis
At this point there is no deny in how the #Trump admin is trying to cover something up, whatever it may be
They cannot and should not get away with it, whoemever it involves.. left or right, it doesn't matter
Screw power and money, justice for the victims
If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.
CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000.
There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today.
Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.
If you refuse to do the slave labor while in jail for a year before your trial you can be put into solitary confinement as a punishment.
During this solitary confinement for refusing to do slave labor while innocent, you can lose visitation rights, and lose your right to access your attorney.
The Trump admin says that people can avoid CECOT by voluntarily giving up their rights to be in the US and self-deporting, even when there's no legal basis for deporting them.
All US admins say that innocent Black men can avoid the harms of prison and jail by "confessing" to crimes they didn't do.
This thread is not to minimize the horrors of CECOT.
This thread is to say that I wish more people knew about and cared about how many innocent Black people have had their lives destroyed by the exact same horrors.
This tears Black families apart.
As I've said before, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.🤷🏿♂️
Since 1855, the Wagner Free Institute of Science in North Philly has been and continues to teach free(!) science classes from their elegantly palatial-and-endearingly-shabby museum and lecture hall.
The Wagner is a functioning, active science museum packed to the rafters with fossils, orreries, wizardly glassware, and a magic-lantern slide projector in service since 1917.
If you are a fan of heroic archivists, of FREE SCIENCE, and/or of the dark academia vibe, look them up and visit!
