Google's too smart for that. They know there's a big backlash against AI in the tech savvy crowd and that it's bleeding users to competitors. So they offer this escape valve that they know the techies will easily find and use, but which 99% of the population will never even look for. This way they can still push AI on almost everyone while at the same time retain as many disgruntled techies as they can.

Not disagreeing with the sentiment.. But how is this Reddit's fault? This is entirely on Google.

Microsoft argues that its AI automation will remove the boring bits of jobs instead of replacing jobs entirely.

This argument is such bullshit. As if Microsoft doesn't know there exist jobs that are entirely "the boring bits".

It's $5/month with an annual subscription, but then you can't go month to month like Mullvad.

That's about the minimum price for what you're asking.

What are the VMs for? Could you use containers instead?

Yes, everyone deserves a bullshit free social experience. You're more than welcome to go start your own instance that only federates with other hardcore nerd instances

You're correct that most 5 year olds cannot read.. However there's so much you can do without knowing how to read. Plus kids are very good at pressing buttons and can figure stuff out by trial and error.

I think you're overstating the compute power and understating the amount of cardboard Amazon uses

Namecheap supports ddns out of the box too, no additional service required. You just need a cron job that calls their API to update your IP periodically.

No.

And that doesn't make me stupid because there exist times I say yes.
