RE: https://masto.hackers.town/@lmorchard/116110713766204271This:“There is a darker, conspiratorial interpretation of today’s hardware trends that reads less like market economics and more like a rehearsal for a managed future. Businesses, having discovered that ownership is inefficient and obedience is profitable, are quietly steering society toward a world where no one owns compute at all, where hardware exists only as an abstraction rented back to the public through virtual servers, SaaS subscriptions, and metered experiences, and where digital sovereignty, that anyone with a PC tower under their desk once had, becomes an outdated, eccentric, and even suspicious concept.”
