  • I not only used, but supported Windows for many many years. I loved and used their technet subscription and was pretty much an evangelist until the whole Windows 8 debacle. This was my first glimpse that they may have lost the plot, but I had faith that such an old and established entity would undoubtedly right itself.

    Windows 10 only grudgingly won me over and Windows 11 was a shot across the bow. My subconscious was already planning an exit, but yeah, when the whole fk privacy initiatives came to the fore I began actively planning. The very first day I couldn’t find my files because of OneDrive and found out just how difficult it was to opt out of that? My computers started going to Linux. Their doubling down on AI simply convinced me that they have no idea what their customers want anymore. I’ve got one lone Surface Pro on Windows 10 that’s no longer supported, and I’ve got a Linux NUC solution raised like the blade on a guillotine. One machine left and I say goodbye to this shitshow forever.

    My work even said goodbye to Windows recently and we use Mac now. Not a huge Apple fan either but when corporations start ditching Windows as an OS? You’d think they’d take notice. Sadly their head is so far up their ass I don’t know that they’ll care.







  • Eh, not to be ‘that girl’ but the context of this article doesn’t seem to match the title. What he’s saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it’s activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.

    His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information…so the government needs to keep paying them.

    Ragebait?

    “Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.
