Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud.

@terminaltilt As much as I abhore anything that Jeff does and represents, I see an environmental point in a rental model. In the sense that ownership of hardware in a programmed obsolescence industry model is ecologically worse. Most people run their daily apps on massively overpowered individual machines, produced at huge environmental cost. And I see potential in sharing hardware here. But definitely not on AWS. Rather local hubs, something like a decentralized network of remote processors
@andre_ourednik @terminaltilt So what you see is basically the same as solar and wind power being produced locally. Personally I like that model far better than the rental idea as it takes power away from the few making it far more democratic for "We The People".

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.
AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.
Reject this future.
Keep your hardware local.
Run #Linux.
Own your data.
The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

@terminaltilt Bezos is the alternate universe inverse evil version of Patrick Stewart.... Utterly cruel, greedy, narcissistic, and uncharismatic.
Please send Bezos back into the worm hole, to the shitty universe that made him.

@terminaltilt@climatejustice.social, this already happened, through the form of applications that are thin clients to SaaSS.
Run Linux. :tux:
Run :gnu: or something idk, but Linux users are renting computing powers through SaaSS. :android:

@terminaltilt those people have no new ideas, Bezos just reinvented the mainframe.

@terminaltilt When people see me on here saying "Local-first Software Principles should be the fucking law", this is what I'm talking about.

@terminaltilt not only that but how it is going right now is that it gives power to the 1%

Honestly, I really like cloud computing and cloud storage.
Since we’re almost always connected to the internet, it’s an incredibly useful solution.I'd be happy to pay a subscription fee if:
1) my data is properly encrypted
2) my data stays on a European server
3) my money doesn't go to a dictatorship country (such as where Bezos lives)
4) the system I'm using is FOSS -

Already did in that comment, but since I can’t rule out custom emoji inaccessibility issues, Imma spell it out for thee, @snep@y.diskcat.com: Android Google/Linux.

My wife is a very aware and private person, so she doesn't want any of our personal information in the cloud.As a person who stopped doing hands on tech work 20 years ago, I'm amazed that many of my old Unix skills are still current an suitable to run home systems.

@cnx @terminaltilt So your comment isn't regarding Linux distributions as a whole, you're rather referring to Linux kernels running underneath Android *specifically?
