quote [ All o' this is just to help me boost my algorithmic placement, so don't bother reading:
All he wanted was a chill day surfing the internet, but Our boy Nox finds out that OneDrive, Adobe CC, and all the scummy big tech companies aren't all they're cracked up to be. In case you didn't notice the video is a metaphore for Enshittification. ] Enshittification is just a byproduct of the Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall.
Half a century later Marx went into this much more thoroughly and dealt with it in Chapter XIV of the 3rd Volume of Capital. He held that there is a general tendency for the rate of profit to fall because of the greater quantity of constant capital in production (plant, machinery, raw material, etc.) and the relatively smaller quantity of variable capital, i.e., that part spent on wages. He explained in the opening paragraph of the chapter that whereas other economists were looking for an explanation of the falling rate of profit the problem for him was the opposite one, namely of finding out why the fall is not greater and more rapid. He wrote: “There must be some counteracting influences at work, which thwart and annul the effects of this general law, leaving to it merely the character of a tendency.” In Chapter XIV he dealt briefly with these counteracting factors which included raising the intensity of exploitation, and the cheapening of the elements of constant capital. He therefore expected the fall to be slow.
IOW, it's just capitalism, my dude.

Fucking AMEN!! OneDrive can majorly suck my ass because a couple of times I've had it wake up and go rogue and sync gigs of data to the cloud. You can't interrupt it during the process, and when I did try to sever it, it deleted all the local files because they were in the cloud. And then of course no more e-mails because your cloud is now full. :RAGE:

Discovered with Google, if your "cloud" becomes full and your emails no longer come thru; push a password reset either for that account or a linked account with primary as the recovery account. You'll get the flood of emails on server that have not been deleted yet.

It looks like if you use OneDrive you need a place to back up your files. Oh, wait!
I use it with Linux to back up my art files and haven't had any problems with it. |
