You mean "Our Computer", comrade.
No OP means "their computer", as in the subscription renter is no longer the "owner" so prevented from doing things on it anymore.
They made a dad joke about communism and companies not considering what you buy really as your
But that's not really communism. The "our X" jokes comes from the idea that under communism there is no private ownership. If there's something we all want to use it's free for all of us to use because it's "ours". Cloud computing is an excellent example. If cloud computing was "ours" everyone could have a computer because it's a shared resource. It doesn't prevent you from having your own computer if you want it, but if you do need a computer there's always one ready for you for free.
Instead what we're getting is techno feudalism where corporations own your computer and you're just renting it from them.
Yeah i know, communism's "private propiety" refer to production means
It's not just means of production but also goods and services or really just about anything that's currently done for profit. Under communism there's no private education, no private Healthcare, no private infrastructure (no paying for internet access), no paying for food or clothes or a car. Your needs are met and you're free to do what you want.
If it sounds to good to be true, it's because it is. Communism is an utopia. It's not something we can realistically achieve, but it's a dream to strive towards. It's a dream of a better future.
AWS is the new communism comrade.
That's a contradiction. AWS will make you poor and homeless and is driven by capitalistic pigs!
