Comment on "I used to be with it"

When I was your age, we used to own our music. It worked offline and we could copy it to other devices.
Why aren’t Normies speaking up about everything needing internet? Street navigation, music, videos, reading, games, etc. Are all things that would work brilliantly normally, no server required. Why does no one realise, that if the server disappears, so does in effect their personal property? If it is tethered to a server, it’s broken, because the server will disappear, the question is only when.
Normies dont understand the abstraction layer between all their data being stored in offline data banks and being mined for illegal ai use and surveillance.
Ill keep my physical media thanks. Never was on the cloud bandwagon, I wont be on the ai bandwagon.
Why aren’t Normies speaking up
I’m the most bland person you’ll ever meet and I kept all my CDs and DVDs. I would never buy something only as digital/cloud format that I couldn’t burn on a disc. It gave me anxiety from the beginning. I have multiple external storages with the same copies of photos and I still print the most precious ones out. I’ll have music and memories if the internet ever breaks down, I just need a power generator.
I also absolutely don’t see physical copies of books, music, or movies, as clutter. Booklets in CDs are to die for, and I think it makes for great room decor. If I burn a CD I usually make some collage artwork as a cover to accompany the disc.
I told my dad I want cassette tapes to come back. He laughed and said how he remembered how crystal clear CDs were when he listened to them for the first time. What can I say dad, I like a little wow/flutter in my music.

They dont care. Speaking as a normie-convert, so long as it works right now idgaf. When it doesn’t work tomorrow I’ll cry about it then and demand to speak to the manager, but right now? Summer will last forever.
