For what I think (though mostly unrelated), we're not even necessarily missing a good AI hosting here. We're missing a good alternative that covers most of the use cases people cover with Azure yet is not provided by Microsoft. An increasing amount of companies and quite some organizations, as I repeatedly have to learn, trust in that stuff. Teams is pretty everywhere. Sharepoint and Onedrive integrates with this. AD and Cloud SSO is used to handle AAA. In some cases, corporations even run virtual desktops on that stuff. Azure computer resources are used to deploy microservices that speak to other "standard" third-party components in Azure (such as Azure-hosted postgresql, elasticsearch, ...). It's a technical sh_t show if you look closer but it still gets you quite far in terms of integration, and their AI stuff tightly integrates with that both on a user level and on an application level. I have no real good idea how to get rid of that, except for really strong regulation (which I don't see happen anytime soon). It's concerning to the max (even though this was a massive deviation from AI on Nostr...).😶
I'm doubtful that we will make much influence on the corporate front, at least for some years. In my experience, it's just too well integrated at this point. So many specialised apps are written for Windows, so it makes sense that they just go all in on Microshit. I begrudgingly use it at work and just accept that it'll probably be that way until I retire. I'm sure we will have another CloudStrike, except far worse, before people even begin to question the stupidity of having most major infrastructure systems in one shitty basket that just keeps growing.
German government is trying to go open-source, to save money, but the older public employees keep causing trouble.
Are they the same idiots responsible for selling the Bitcoin and shutting down the nukes?
Yeah, I know. My last job was rolling out Office 365 and co.
You forgot to mention Power BI. 🤦♂️ Bane of my existence.
Uh. I tried to forget about Power BI. But then again, I try the same for Sharepoint.🙈
The last class in my CS degree revolves around PowerBI. Lol It's a bullshit class, but I might replace it with a C++ class or something.
They want you to learn it, to service the corporate victims and make $$$.
To be fair, that kind of is what colleges are designed around. It would be neglectful for them to not help people get employed. Not why I'm there though so fuck it.
Yeah, maybe some coding class is a better choice at least from a mental health perspective...🙈
