But see for persons to get compute and produce things, they're going to try to force everybody to go through bare bones terminals to access the cloud.
That way everything we make, everything we say and calculate and draw etc passes through their gates. Total surveillance and control, with them able to cut us off at any time.
Of course this only works when you have a good enough data connection to get a snappy feed from the CPUs, anyplace without fast fiber will just be left floundering. Which is fine by them.

@violetmadder@kolektiva.social @johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social They're destroying the system that *already does that* to replace it with a system that...does that? The plausible end result of what's happening is not particularly complicated: the rich will either back down or be destroyed. That's what history tells us. The relative timeline / scale of that consequence is the only thing in question. Also, the impact of climate change on society's metabolism and hunger for the rich should not be minimized.
