Local accounts versus Microsoft accounts.

Posted on by

“To use Windows, login to your Microsoft.com account or we will arrest you. In the process deliver to us all the current meta data required to have a successful experience. Otherwise, you may find yourself creating a Local Account, and using your software locally and not making use of our extensive library of Cloud Tools.”
~~Random MS Engineer Certificate holder

Being a Mac person who made a lot of money off of poor Windows users this sounds like the end of computing as I know it. Honestly, Microsoft needs to be broken up, taken apart, forensically analyzed and hosed down for all manner of viruses and bugs.

In case you don’t understand, They’re Spying on Us!

AI, Inevitability, & Human Sovereignty

Posted on by

“I didn’t want to feed my soul into a machine. That was my first instinct when AI tools started appearing everywhere – not concern about jobs or privacy, but something deeper.

These tools promise to make us smarter while systematically making us more dependent.”

Intrinsic Value Of Crypto: What Is It & How To Calculate It | ZeroHedge

Posted on by

I got to say it’s a fun app.

Key takeaways

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin gain value from factors like scarcity, utility and security, not physical backing.

Common methods to calculate intrinsic worth of a cryptocurrency include Metcalfe’s Law, cost of production and discounted utility models.

Estimating intrinsic value is challenging due to market volatility and speculative data.Fiat currencies have no intrinsic value, relying on trust, while cryptocurrencies’ value is based on decentralization and scarcity.Intrinsic value refers to the actual worth of an asset based on its fundamental characteristics, rather than its market price. For example, in traditional finance, the intrinsic value of a stock is often derived from factors such as earnings, cash flow and growth potential.

The Delusional Feminist Power Fantasy Relies On Male Charity And Tolerance

Posted on by

Two genders: Male or Female
Two bathrooms: Male or Female
Toxic? Two Genders
Kids: Leave them alone!

If one studies the archetypal ideals of the hero’s journey (a hallmark of the male power fantasy), what we almost always find are stories of self sacrifice. Power for most men is meant to be used in service to others; to protect and to provide for those who cannot protect themselves. This symbolism is found everywhere in literature, television and movies centered on powerful and popular male figures. Rather than being “toxic,” men are compelled by their inherent relationship to power to achieve something greater for all the people around them.

This is not to say that there are no men with twisted motives. History is splattered with male rulers who have abused their authority and committed a host of atrocities. These men, however, are the exception to the rule. The majority of men desire a chance at heroism and adherence to a moral code. We used to call it “chivalry”, the opposite of villainy.
