Updated This Past Day

  1. Microsoft's CEO is Hyping Up 'AI' (Plagiarism) to Distract From Falling Interest in It and Missed Expectations (Investors Run Out of Patience as Reality Does Not Meet or Match Early False Promises)
    Microsoft clearly needs 1) a distraction and 2) hype about "AI"
  2. No, Microsoft, Plagiarism is Not "AI"
    "Satya Nadella says as much as 30% of Microsoft code is written by AI"
  3. Microsoft Has Become Almost Extinct in Web Servers, Netcraft Now Ranks It in Only One Category (Microsoft Down Sharply), Deranked/Outranked in All the Rest
    Microsoft used to be in all categories, now it's in just one
  4. What GNU/Linux Means to Us
    Linux without freedom is like becoming a vegetarian "except on special occasions"
  5. Symptom or Hallmark of Ponzi Schemes: Microsoft Says It Gains Over 100 Million Dollars in "Goodwill" and Its Speculative "Value" Nearly Doubled to $119,329,000,000 in the Past Year Alone
