Well that's just the thing - there are good use cases for VDI, and that's all this really seems to be at its core. If that's all it is, then it seems like Microsoft just once again repackaging things and calling them their own.
I mean, that is the upside and design intent of Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and stand up an IT focused Lemmy server. I don't have the time or resources for that, but I can help by contributing to and moderating this community on what is currently the largest Lemmy server. Something tells me there will be a number of iterations before the Lemmy-verse settles on which servers become predominate.
I found that I only encountered it when viewing 'All > Hot' or 'All > New', I believe. I thought it was someone spamming the server with the same thing to different subs, but I see now that it's a bug.
So for now I stick with 'Subscribed > Hot' or 'Subscribed > New', and I subscribed to a crapload of subs.
I'd like to see whatever everyone wants to post about, and would also encourage you to be the change you want to see. I'm more into the Microsoft space myself but manage a handful of Linux servers (which I typically never have to bother with unless I'm standing another one up, and our team manages patching), though I'm not sure where good sources of news & updates would be for Linux information.
Sympathies to them, yes.
Oh no! Anyway...
You're 100% on the mark. Unfortunately the next automation revolution will come whether society wants it to or not. Just as soon as it's cheaper and as effective to have machines do the work of humans, corporations will choose to go that route. We've seen a few instances where corporations are going against this in the short term, but it never works out for us humans in the long run. We know that corporate culture only has eyes for next quarter's profit, humanity's future be damned.
I'm going to drop this here, you may have already seen it & know of CGP Grey on YouTube, but using this vid as a frame of reference: Humans Need Not Apply
That video was made in 2014. We've known that an automation revolution is going to come along and make a good portion of the workforce obsolete (again) for a number of years (CGP Grey wasn't the first to put forth the idea by any means), and we're doing nothing to prepare for it. If we don't figure out how to institute some form of UBI... well, it won't be good.
True enough, but I'd counter that the person who uses 'yellow' as the answer to the square root of 100 is a moron, and the person who accepts it doubly so.
A better example IMO would be using ChatGPT to write code via pseudocode. Sure it'll spit out something for you, but you'll still need to verify those results using your own knowledge, and test it before putting it into production.
Another, different, example would be using it to write up proposals, project plans, etc. - if it was so easy that an AI could do it, maybe we need to take a good hard look at whether it needed doing in the first place, or examine how we're going about it.
It is a tool, albeit a smarter one than we've previously had. Like any tool, it can be used for good, evil, or moronic results.
I would say that if a thing can be destroyed by ChatGPT then it probably needed to be destroyed, or at least reworked to meet the times. It's not a lot different than people saying that calculators would destroy kids' ability to do math, or that Wikipedia would ruin people's ability to do research. It's a tool, with its strengths and limitations, and should be used as such.
To me this just seems like a "streamlined" (Microsoft 365 proprietary) VDI system that serves the exact same function as thin clients connecting to Azure for the "Windows 365" VDI environment.
Anyone know if I'm off the mark or why this is different in any way?
For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?
Squeenix - if you don't hire this team and produce this game you're fucking fools. But I think we already know that's the case and you're already furiously typing up the DMCA notices.
