Microsoft is Working on an Azure-Powered Cloud PC service:
Microsoft is building a new desktop-as-a-service offering built on top of Windows Virtual Desktop that could launch as soon as 2021.
Microsoft is currently calling the coming virtualization service "Cloud PC." Cloud PC won't replace locally installed Windows (and Office) -- for the foreseeable future, anyway. It will be an option for customers who want to use their own Windows PCs made by Microsoft and/or other PC makers basically like thin clients, with Windows, Office and potentially other software delivered virtually by Microsoft.
[...] "Microsoft Cloud PC is a strategic, new offering that is built on top of Windows Virtual Desktop to delivering Desktop as a Service. At its core, Cloud PC provides business customers a modern, elastic, cloud-based Windows experience and will allow organizations to stay current in a more simplistic and scalable manner," the job description says.
Microsoft is planning to make Cloud PC a Microsoft-365-powered experience that is managed by Microsoft and sold for a flat per user price, the job description says. This pricing piece is key. Windows Virtual Desktop pricing revolves around Azure consumption. Cloud PC sounds like it will be available for a set subscription fee.
Microsoft had dropped a few hints recently that it was looking to create some kind of virtualized PC management experience. In February, Scott Manchester, who had been Group Program Manager for Windows Virtual Desktop, took on a new role as Group Program Manager for "Cloud Managed Desktops." I'm guessing that this team, along with Windows engineering, are the ones honing the Cloud PC vision and deliverables.
[...] Microsoft also currently offers a service called the Microsoft Managed Desktop (MMD), which is a subscription offering under which Microsoft sets up, updates and manages business users' Windows 10 PCs for a fee. MMD includes Microsoft 365 (specifically, Windows 10 Enterprise E3 and Office 365 ProPlus); Windows Autopilot; and select Windows 10 hardware. Microsoft does the device configuration, security monitoring and remediation, app deployment, update management, desktop analytics and 24-by-7 end-user support. This is a service that is only used by certain large enterprise customers at this time.

Azure is the israeli military, if you are using them for your personal or business computing, I hope you like them reading your mind and interfering in your business.

I find it hilarious that you post links to URLs that ask anyone that goes there to prove they are human, to support assertions of datacenters-are-evil arguments.
I keep wanting to give your narrative a chance, because you seem so earnest - but I can never get past my tinfoil detector test.

I don't get CAPTCHAs on those links.

Fair enough.
If I want to share an image link, what do you suggest then?
I know of several or I could link to my own site, where the images also are, but then
1. i am "flogging" my homepage and it bothers people, who have complained also just like you did
2. i am linking to an unknown url that looks like it might have malware or be honeypot, idk
I use archive because everyone knows it and it didnt used to give a captcha test, and sometimes it doesn't.
Archive has explicitly stated they are being attacked, and zuck himself has said he is sees them as a "problem" becuase they make it impossible to censor "hate"(of him and people like him), but really just to censor.
The deeper irony is that we are training googles AI through captcha to be able to evade capcha, and at the same time they are the organization most capable of mounting ddos attacks, so we are contributing to a future where google and only google, or some other corp, will be able to ddos anyone at any time, even if they have a capcha implemented.
So I grant your point but cmon, this is a bigger problem than I can just solve myself, and I do not know any better way, and no one offers any suggestions, the web just seems really broken.
And if you really, at this point, still think I am an agent, I do believe then you are more paranoid than I am.
Do you think an agent would really write this:

Or this:

Or go to all of this trouble:

This is what agents look like, and I spent a long time looking into this guy the way you are wondering about me:
https://theconsciousresistance.com/ [theconsciousresistance.com]
Read his half-assed garbage, watch him go to protests and film everybody, watch his videos at "anarchopulco" about ruppert sheldrake and "crypto".
Cointelpro does not admit cointelpro exists, except under the most controlled of circumstances, and when they have total control over what can be censored or changed later.
For some reason this site has not erased anything I have typed, so I believe an information war is being fought over this site as we speak. So here I am to win it.

If I were you I would save all of these offline, they are things someone who want to enslave you does not want you to know. Hm maybe I will just have to start quadruple or quintuple anchoring my posts, its getting that bad.
I am not being suppressed becasue I am wrong, I don't think, because no one ever even tries to argue with me, they just go straight for the suppression mechanics.
Inquiries like yours are a breath of fresh air so thanks.

Gracious, why would I think you're an agent? I was really just pointing out some irony in your MO, specifically that your links to subversive material go through the same Establishment panopticon you rail about. Such are the times, I suppose; a captcha is way too obvious a tool for an actual agent.
Frankly I'm more inclined to think you're just another internet rando with a worldview that's missing a few bits of critical thinking. It's easy to overlook something important, as the widespread support for partisan politics of all flavors has amply demonstrated. You do bring an awful lot of info to your posts, so for my part I can say that's a fair bit of time investment to try to engage you, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is why people don't feel the need to address your points; it's an awful lot of position to wade through and a lot to try to rebut all at once. Far easier is just to dismiss you as a digital "street crier" with some "the-end-is-nigh" sign, and I think that's what you're seeing.
I can't speak to your experience of being followed or whatever; but I feel like the big boys don't need actual bodies on the ground to do that very much anymore, to follow a lone individual. But, I do have a longstanding policy of examining my own logic and breaking old habits to see if they're no longer serving me well. So it may be that I'll give your arguments a fair shake at some point if I can identify some bite-size chunks.

It would take you two months to read my books and website. It is also not all me, I repost hundreds of infographics from people smarter than myself, and those frequently reference scientific literature, esp. on topics like 5g and corona.
As label culture goes, your labels are pretty good and at least friendly. "rando town crier" isnt trying to like hurt my feelings, and I can see the truth to that.
Consider this, what if Hunter S. Thompson never got published in the first place? What would his life have been like? What would he have written on the internet, how would people have seen him?
I bet they would have thrown him in the luny bin just for writing long sentences, much less talking about drugs and doing actual investigative reporting.
Do you see any writing out there like HST? Or even David Foster Wallace? Or gasp Robert Anton Wilson? That is not like chan posts or on erowid?
That is right, you do not. If the "publishing industry" and platforms decide they do not want the long sentence writing neophophibic "out there" ranting writers like me, then anyone like myself who admires those writers and strives to live up to their standard of open mindedness and depth, is going to be permanently relagated to "rando town crier."
And your culture suffers, the mainstream and propaganda just gets more powerful, and you are the frog in boiling water with a closing mind who thinks nothing has changed.
Fact is, insane people cannot keep it together enough to be this productive. I am a skilled linux sysadmin, I know the command line, routing protocols, OSI model like the back of my hand. I can rock hard on guitar and drums. I can hold a conversation. Have I once posted about hearing voices or thinking they are beaming stuff into my brain? Nope.
Admit it, nothing I am doing is crazy, just the fact I am bringing things to the table you have not heard before, and taking seriously that at the moment memes or infographics are changing the world, becoming a significant form of global communications for the civ population, and they are actively designing ways to filter them *at the global dns/ip level* rather than deal with the fact their propaganda isnt working.
So what if you are wrong and I am the future? What if I am right? What if I am actually a writer that should be published and on the joe rogan show, but someone is actually repressing me(as I swear to you they are)?
The alternate is I am a cop outing millions of dollars worth of disinfo operations like numundo.org and "the conscious resistance", and my 70k word concordance to the english language was written at air force eglin base to create a false avatar to fool you at length!
Of those two scenarios, one is far wilder than the other, occams razor is to me very clear here, but you will have to make your own pick.
But for me I am doing a ton of work while going broke, and the community of people who should be most helping me find publishers, work, idk even contributions to my activism projects, are so jaded they cannot accept the help of one of their most capable members.
here is me posting to 4chan, yesterday, and they shut my thread down after an hour for no obvious reason even though people were interested. If I was crazy and making shit up, like most of the threads on there, it would have been up for a day or two before they "archived it".
