  @blogdiva@mastodon.social And it is what might kill Windows and Microsoft, if people cannot upgrade their hardware to match Windows "upgrades" they will seek OSs that run on less computing power.

  Appears the owner doesn't seem interested in making a profit but just in providing a home for the tenants so perhaps turning it into a co-op with the residents buying in with enough funds to do the upgrades needed and a monthly co-op fee high enough to ensure this doesn't happen again might be an option. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vernon-mobile-home-park-power-loss-9.7152632

  Wondering whoever dreamed up calling other peoples computer servers connected to the internet "the cloud". When I think of clouds I think of light fluffy things that when they get full and heavy start to leak all over the place. Hardly the metaphor I would want to use for computer storage. #TheCloud
