Yeah I'd rather no computer or no internet at all than to accept the cloud. I'll find other hobbies and entertainment.

    They don't care about hobbyists. They don't need the tech.

    But business users do.

    So it creates a world where normal people no longer use tech, and the vast majority of tech is used by businesses for productivity purposes in the office while everyone else makes due with real life?

    Like in the 90s?

    Sounds like paradise to me. Starve out these cash-grab. psychologically manipulative disposable code subscription services.

    If they can triple the cost for businesses while losing the hobbyists they aren't being "starved out". They're making a fuckton more money while making a smaller variety of products, locking in contracts, and not having to deal with us.
