@neauoire this article is 5 years old but describes a lot of the dynamic https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/13/technology/google-education-chromebooks-schools.html Without a decent Internet connection everywhere (even at low tide 😉) this would be a hard goal. "'Cloud sevices are going to be big!', says CEO of cloud services company." @neauoire they're right, all of my code is on github and i really have no other places it's backed up to... i really need to get to hosting my own git(/got perhaps) sever soon @evan Gosh, "remember VR", so true. I hadn't looked at it this way, "in a few years your code will be on the blockchain" haha @neauoire Different subsets of tech/investor insider culture get hyperfixated on something new every few years. Always some dramatic vision of something that will simultaneously create social disruption and social utility — a bounty to the masses that also happens to divert markets into producing investor returns. I don't use the cloud at all and I'm happy about it. I backup my important stuff on USBs or external drives :p The CEO is right tho @neauoire So, now I'm wondering, how about the code to access the code that is out there in cloudland? |
@neauoire Microsoft probably forced them to say that.
