@Canageek Looks like that was Dali, signing blank sheets?

Apparently his wife manipulated him to continue this when his health was failing.
So...has this Microsoft Outage taught us anything about digital sovereignty? 😇
@Vivaldi I don't see big corp and institutions cancelling Microsoft subscriptions so I guess... No?
All I said was what does this button do
@TheBreadmonkey Ben, "are you feeling lucky?" was not a dare!

One American company shouldn't be able to unilaterally prevent the operation of key public services including hospitals, universities, schools, government departments, courts, police, ambulance, and other emergency services, as well as large swathes of private sector industry. Across the entire planet.
Apparently this very radical belief marks one out as an impractical ideologically driven free software hippie weirdo.

Good morning!
So Microsoft is down. Claude is down. 90% of software developers and businesses are now in full panic mode.
Long live the 10%
Indie devs are out here building their games in caves with boxes of scrap and we need to love and support them!

After a 6 a.m. synergy session with chums from @owa, I took a morning stroll along the myriad temples next to the Gangees, where a profoundly spiritual message resonated deeply with me for my 60th birthday.

@troublewithwords It’s a slow process… just one post after another and never stop. 😅
21k words. And still not done. 🤷♂️
@tsturm Have I mentioned that you'll basically have a book when you're done? 😁 (I'm not sure this project will ever be done.)
@welshtroll well the thing is that, in this case, this is not a decision that most people get to take for themselves. It's imposed on them at their workplaces. And it's especially critical at governmental level, all the members of congress in Norway have no access to their email today. 😩
@Vivaldi Sadly it's true, here parts of the school system are disrupted, along with our National Health Service being impact in different ways, dependant on how much the have integrated into that ecosystem.
Keep up the good fight!
Me reading a toot CW that references latex and me having to figure out if it's clothing-latex or mathy LaTeX.
Why would LaTeX need a CW?
I dunno my brain just spent way too long trying to interpret the CW.

the fediverse logo is just so beautiful
i keep seeing it on the !fediverse@lemmy.world community and i keep going “aah ~” whenever i see it.
This App Store marketing blurb chaps my hide a little. There are a bunch of iOS games I paid for that I can’t play or even download anymore, just because Apple decided it wasn’t worth peeling a few bills off the largest cash hoard in human history to keep supporting 32-bit applications
@jalefkowit Same problem on Android, really odd how all the good old games that weren't monetized all to shit can no longer be downloaded or installed from the app store but the newer garbage that has barely any gameplay between 15 minute ad breaks doesn't seem to have an expiration date.

The Internet was designed for decentralized services.
Personal computers were designed for running things locally and get away from mainframes their terminals.
Laws were designed to prevent monopolies.
Fast forward 30–40 years and we now have like two mainframe rental providers used by essentially everyone: individuals, companies of all sizes, the military, governments.
And of course instead of breaking this shit up we’re stuffing this dependency into every last device remotely possible.
So like all problems this is a social problem, and social problems are political problems: if we don’t forcibly break the fucking giant corporations up this will only get worse.
