Comment on "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy"

Is this what’s happening with the data centers, too? We’ll be expected to access the internet through the cloud or centralized servers, so it doesn’t matter to big tech that computer parts are unaffordable to consumers? For the record, I am not happy about it.

Somebody educate me, please. It’s worse when I don’t know exactly what’s happening.

Yes. We will priced out or in the long term even forbidden from owning the hardware needes to run games and other demanding sofware natively. All this to grant us the honor to rent back what we used to own through the cloud

I mean… the internet is the cloud and such? Your local computer isn’t generating the internet. The internet is all the accessible things from all the computers plugged in to it.

Theoretically browsing the internet is an extremely low demand thing to do with a PC. It used to be considered one of the lowest, until modern browsers became mostly one browser and every company decided it’s job was to harvest as much of your data as possible.
