Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That’s why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.
I mean the business case is clear: It’s way harder to pirate a game that forces everyone to connect to the server to work at all, then when a new version comes out you shut down the old servers and force everyone to buy the newer one. Welcome to late stage capitalism where you’ll own nothing and be happy!
It’s the eternal cycle:
At it’s core, Salesforce is basically a database. You can create custom objects (tables) and fields (columns) tailored to your business’ needs to store anything and everything. But you can’t just easily replace it with a database because they have tons of layers of automations and workflows built on top to make it insanely user friendly: Customer sends an email and it’s automatically logged and tickets opened, sales person has a call and can create quotes and they are automatically sent to the correct people for approvals, managers can get access to accounts managed by their team but not the entire company, etc. It’s the “works out of the box but still let’s you customize them” business process automations and UI that make Salesforce what it is.
That’s an interesting plan to fix the upcoming agricultural labour shortage after the mass deportations…
GOP members with faces slowly waking up to the fact they got a hungry face eating leopard into the White House.
Seems like the erosion of the middle class isn’t enough to break out the guillotines so the upper class is next. The ultra wealthy need new people to squeeze more capitalism points out of!
My face is too good looking to be eaten by the face eating leopards!
It’s like the trolley problem but the person pulls the lever to kill as many people as possible to “send a message” to whoever is tying up people on trolley tracks.
Yes, that is unfortunately the measure capitalism uses to judge success. Something something invisible hand I guess.
Encrypted data. Could be backups of important service details in case all their servers are seized, leaked or sensitive data they are holding as leverage, or a private porn collection. Nobody knows until they release a decryption key.
It’s actually worse than than because winning the election has been a big windfall for Elmo to the tune of $70 billion: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/11/elon-musk-is-70-billion-richer-since-trump-victory-due-to-tesla-surge.html
It’s more like he got a 34,900% return on investment. If you include the $44 billion he “spent” on Twitter that brings the ROI down to a still impressive 58%, outperforming pretty much any market or fund.
They really are good businessmen, but the foxes are now in control of the hen house. Good luck everyone else!
Yeah I suppose World War 2 wouldn’t have happened if everyone just sat back and let Germany conquer all of Europe instead. They would have stopped at that right? 🤷
This is 100% because they are also going to try and ban abortion. They only want “the right people” being forced into making new US wage slave consumers citizens.
As a Canadian who sees the far-right politics of the USA leaking across the border, I actually think this would be a good idea. The US can have Alberta though, I think they would be happier there.
It’s convenient timing that Google Chrome is removing support for ad blocking plugins like uBlock right as Premium sneaks ads back in… 🙄
See there’s this thing called retaliatory tariffs…
They won’t be surprised, they’ll just remain angry because they’ll be given new scapegoats to blame by the propaganda machine.
GOP is the party of rules for thee not for me. The leadership are all disgustingly wealthy so they can easily fly their mistresses to another country for abortions, drug fueled sex parties, etc…
You better jump on this one because there will never be a 3rd. 🥲
