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.

Terminal Tilt, 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
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 :floofHappy:: 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.

Yea Snep :floofHappy:, I was replying to Terminal Tilt who claimed using Linux is a solution against SaaSS, when it’s really about empowering everyone with a free software. Linux is not a politically important part of GNU/Linux distributions (and GNU implementations too for that matter, but at least the GNU project, unlike the Linux Foundation, isn’t advocating for proprietary software and SaaSS). Neither do GNU/Linux distributions hold a significant market share of Linux, most of which being Android that many people are already using.

@terminaltilt They are closing in: Big Tech is on the prowl of ALL of your data. And flooding the internet with all their AI infested cloudware, they can respond with ever so heavily manipulated lies and bogus selling it to you as facts and truth, regardless whatever you were searching for on that web. That fake reality will warp anything more strongly than a supermassive black hole.
-
@LorenzoBonomelli @terminaltilt will you still like it if they pass laws that enforce on-device scanning of all data on the internet?
Well, I'm not an IT expert, so I'm not sure I got what you said to me
Isn’t data encryption on servers enough to keep my files reasonably safe from everyone, including the hosting company?
If the system were FOSS, could a law force the provider to insert a decryption backdoor without the user knowing?
In short terms: is on-device scanning for such systems technologically feasible?

But someone else defines issues 1) thru 4) for you. They own your data then. Your data is on THEIR computer.

@terminaltilt and then as I've just found with FB, if you become persona non grata they can just erase your entire existence really easily. Easier to control citizens if their data is on servers they don't control.

@terminaltilt those people have no new ideas, Bezos just reinvented the mainframe.
@Nicovel0 HIS mainframe, YOUR data. Pictures of your kids, stored digital receipts of stuff you bought, a photographed confession of that remote uncle who came out in 1944, then snatched by the Nazis, you being confronted with secret messages from your spouse to her co-worker, your pictures where you wear girl's clothes and make-up. Regardless how anyone reacts to them, you truly don't want anyone to google around your data.
@terminaltilt -
@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 That's not what Bezos means. He wants YOUR data on HIS centralized 'mainframe'.
@terminaltilt -
@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.
@TrimTab @terminaltilt Do you imply that Bezos's mother had worms when he was born?

@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?

@terminaltilt The internet shifted power to the edges, then it all got sucked back into the centre again.
Screw that. The mechanisms to DIY the future still exist. Always have.
