@mx I@adapalmer@wandering.shop I agree and I forgot that I'm already following her. I'm sorry. She's fantastic.

What a passionate speaker they are!
On a related note, saw an exhibition of those first Venice-printed books back in the day. What pieces of art, and status symbols, too. The exhibition made a big point how the youth wanted to be painted with their bleeding-edge pocket books. No dusty coffee table books for the young generation, no sir!

@wackJackle @adapalmer Beautifully articulated. I had considered that parallel before.
What I want to know is where the parallel goes in terms of monopolies, censorship, age-verification, etc.

@wackJackle Loving the part about Gutenberg going bankrupt and all the following ones.
Less of a fan of the conclusion* (but does she knows how to tell a story ! I was sucked right in, wow)
*Because I don't think its very interesting to argue on the unity of change on some technique branch (computers/the press) while it's always a continuum anyway so like, in the end, I felt "duh all this for that". But it was a nice journey anyway.
@otyugh @wackJackle I kind of agree with you, after watching I'm left with two feelings: that's a really interesting thesis, I like it; and: what now?
It seems there would be something to learn in this parallel she is making between those two information revolutions. But it is not obvious to me. The only thing that I can guess is that the current revolution we live in has probably not settled down and it will take another few decades at least.

@otyugh @wackJackle but this only conclusion seems kind of obvious when you look at the state of social media, the tech oligarchy and how they affect the world.
If you would know about any other resources from Palmer or other on the topic I would definitely be interested to know more!

@ilsimoneviaggiatore tra l'altro la possibilità di scegliere LO rispetto a MSO non è una questione che può valutare né il CEO né il CTO, ma un progetto di change management che deve coinvolgere, direzione, sistemi informativi E personale, e possibilmente con l'ausilio di una valida consulenza esterna. Altrimenti succede un bordello tale da restare per anni nelle cronache dell'orrore

Microsoft ha snobbato Windows per arrivare prima su Cloud e IA?
Microsoft ha preso Windows, la scelta rassicurante per chiunque, e lo ha trascinato dentro una piattaforma sempre più straripante di robaccia AI per via di decisioni calate dall’alto e aggiornamenti che sminchiano.
I talenti e l'attenzione sono in effetti su cloud e intelligenza artificiale.
Ecco perché, mettere in secondo piano il sistema operativo che regge l’infrastruttura mondiale, costringe gli utenti ad aggrapparsi a versioni vecchie invece di passare a quelle brutte nuove.

Da amministratore di sistema, confermo (non che ce ne fosse bisogno). Aggiungo anche un'altra cosa: se l'azienda decide che che ci vuole M$ Office e non LibreOffice (come nel mio caso), per quanto a me stia sulle balle la roba Microsoft, la devo usare. Mi pagano per fare quello che vuole la direzione, non quello che voglio io (purtroppo).
Da noi è bloccato tutto, tranne quello che distribuisco io. Se poi c'è un'esigenza specifica se ne può parlare, ma come eccezione: le installazioni in autonomia non sono consentite.
