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.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud
A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

@terminaltilt as long as bezos and his ilk (as in, unconstrained billionaires) exists they will not stop dreaming up ways to consolidate power and corrupts what should notionally be community resources. Mitigate the problem at the source.

@terminaltilt I feel much better about hording old computers now. When I say old, I mean around 6th gen Core i5 vintage. Amazing what these machines can do with the right Linux distro.

@terminaltilt
So many books to read (not from Amazon) may replace the need for any computers if this rental scheme comes to pass. -

@terminaltilt This is so infuriating. I am so happy that I finally decided to swith full time to Linux like 3 months ago. The thing that kept my under the microsoft thumb was a few softwares I used for work. I spent some time finding alternatives and adjusted my workflow. So worth the time and effort.

@terminaltilt Rent to not-own

@terminaltilt and if you really have to go cloud, don't go to them, don't surrender and become their captive
@filobus @terminaltilt What other options are there? Oracle? Microsoft? If you had to use the cloud, where do you go to avoid the big guns and trump buddies?

Meine Daten auf meine Festplatte, und das seit ich einen PC habe
@dutchking @terminaltilt Same here, I never used a cloud.

@terminaltilt I'm not saying you're wrong, but how can they be both wanting to kill local confusing and pushing "AI pcs" that can perform AI calculations locally at the same time?
@tokyo_0 @terminaltilt AI PCs can't do AI Calculations locally. They simply have one-key access to AI. For instance a Microsoft AI computer has a Copilot key on the keyboard. All AI computing is done at data centers. No home computer has the power to do AI work.

Hey @pluralistic if you haven't seen @terminaltilt 's framing (above):
