Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

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.

No warrant. No vote. No warning,

You didn’t install a doorbell, You installed government spyware.❞

For days I've been trying to figure out what concrete steps I could take to help the protestors and observers in Minneapolis from afar.
Yesterday, I finally got an answer: there's a group buying and installing car dashcams for observers, and they have an Amazon wishlist. I don't like to do business with Amazon, but this is a good thing to make an exception for. (1/8)
