Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Muito interessante.
A fabricante de carros elétricos BYD recebeu nesta terça (22) seu maior cargueiro para entrega de veículos, com capacidade de até 9200 automóveis. Para o pesquisador Peter Norton, os carros elétricos precisam ser problematizados “Carros elétricos não são a solução para a transição energética”

Vou continuar boicotando os vinhos gaúchos.
Há 2 anos o brasileiro ficava puto ao descobrir que 3 vinícolas gigantes usavam trabalho escravo na colheita da uva. Muito barulho feito, as vinícolas saíram de vítimas e teve vereador gaúcho sugerindo a contratação de argentinos pois baianos seriam vagabundos (por não aceitarem escravidão).

Na opinião de Roberted Winkelly, Trump, se eleito, abandona a Ucrânia, e deixa Europa sozinha na guerra contra a Rússia. Esse analista teve um meme famoso na pandemia, e apropriou-se do meme.

The current SkyFeed infrastructure can't handle the extra load (more than 4x) caused by all the new users. I'm currently setting up two new powerful servers, which should have enough resources to get all feeds back online later today. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the downtime 😊
