Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.

Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I’ll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.

I have so many old games and programs on my win10 PC that the amount of effort it would take to get everything back to the way it was, would almost argue for just getting a New PC and not bothering with the migration.

I know that its not based in science… but I just dont trust windows OS migration. I did it once from Vista to 7, and something messed up, and had to reformat the entire drive and fresh install, losing everything.

as for getting a new PC , hardware wise, it will cost me several thousand and will probably only be a fraction of an increase of the system I have right now. its just not worth it.

so all in all, I think Im going to just play danger zone, and ride Win10 into the digital apocalypse for a while.

the market will be taken over by cheaper, less “luxury” alternatives.

Its looking more and more like the end result is just going to be millions of Americans will have to do without, Live with less.

and no doubt at the same time their oligarch fantasy-wealthy overlords will preach to them about Spartan values or something. Ultranationalist Jingo Ghouls will talk about how its tough times create strong men, or about how we all have to prepare for war with China or something.

When I imagine a future with AI ruining the world, I always thought it was going to be some Skynet/CABAL/HAL9000 type of thing

Not this sad, boring, depressing type shit

Vigilantism is on the rise regardless, Either because the police are incompetent / carefree about the complaints. or because individuals are overzealous, dont undrestand or agree with the law, and decide to cosplay as the punisher.

You dont want 90% of the shitheads on reddit.

They’ve been dissapearing for a long time, if they were an animal, they’d be somewhere between Endangered, and Critically Endangered…

The eye-opener now has been that Reddit has turned into corpo/authortiarian boot licking trash, and Discord is planning on going publicly traded. (Read More Corpo bootlicking trash)

I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.

at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you’re a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff

Corpos own the regulatory bodies.
Russian Mafia owns the white house.

Regulatory Captured States of America

I dont go on 4chan though, the only exposure I have to it is occasionally reading greentext vids/stories on other sites.

I was just on a random rabbit hole that Briefly involved templeOS and somehow ended up on the “hit CIA with your car they arent humans” video

It’s fucking weird that not 3 or 4 days ago… I was literally reading about Davis. And the glowing CIA ranting that he was doing. Total coincidence

reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider “threatening”

its already a thought crime zone.

Tesla employees in Europe should start looking for new work.

The businesses are going to fail, and Tesla is going to allow it to fail, because Elons opinion on the EU is ‘go fuck yourself’

Elon doesn’t care about this anymore, He got his hands in the US cookie jar, and Liberal Europeans are being painted as the enemy of America by the Russophilic Fascists who are in control now.

trying to convince me to switch to BMW. bold move Cotton.

No, but V’s apartment did have advertisements on the windows and a vending machine in the living room

Toyota Sales here Boy do I have some BMW Heated seat subscription crap to sell you

(Its not quite as bad as BMW. But one thing that really irks customers is the remote starter is restricted to a subscription service. unless you’re one of the lucky ones who got a vehicle that installed the wrong part/fuses. in which case you can still remote start your car with the fob. its still very finnicky)

Cyberpunk 2077 here we come. except its just the Corpo shit.

instead of switching ive mostly just been ditching entirely. I need less time interacting with internet people.

literally the only thing on this list im still using is facebook messenger, for my work colleagues. and youtube. everything else ive migrated (reddit-lemmy), or abandoned and torched

I used to say those same things, now I basically just keep messenger as a job requirement but the rest of it can F off

marketplace is nothing but spam and scam, and those “friends” the only ones I care to talk to, use discord, or regular phone text
