"it seems that you didn't pay your subscription to amazon periferals...your mouse and keyboard are locked, redirecting you to the payment service!"

"your search for 'linux' gave zero results in your current web search plan, are you interested in a subscription to enhanced search with AI?"

"AWS was victim of a massive attack and your data were leaked and the NSA copy is not available to send you a backup! check these offers for new PCs!"

Gonna be honest, if they weren't owned by american big tech, i think centralized computing would be a good thing. You could even make it a bit sustainable using the coolant fluid to generate electricity.

Is that the quiet part? I thought that was the cloud compute providers explicit goal.

Nah

Wow

Glad to use xUbuntu.
