  • As someone else mentioned:

  • Well, I liked how Microsoft teams/Skype made docs easily accessible. But as always MS totally fucked up big time. So I setup my own book library, music library and photo library. I love Joplin for my notes between devices, navidrome for music, photoprism for photos. That’s what I think the future internet should include.

    Now AI…instead of us paying for an AI chip to deport our daily motions and emotions to coca cola so it can decide what size shoes we should wear and when, I’d like to propose something. Could a company give me an AI chip that can search and categorize all my files such that I can ask questions about them? But without double crossing me and telling Macy’s about the size of my left ball? No the internet should not be big brother keeping us trapped. It should be freeing… Welcome Mr.Johnson! I’ve calculated your income to inflation risk and have formulated two strategies for improvement. Here’s your personal news… I know of three favorable sexual partners living near us and have organized a fun get together this weekend for you. Your car is fully charged but you should probably do work from home today since its meeting’s day. Your favorite Shakespeare quote, would you like me to recite it in French translated to Japanese with Mexican accent? No? Well, if there’s anything else I can do for you…not for Nike, Nikon, Costco, Apple or Ford or Chiquita Banana, just let me know…


  • In the beginning we used to exchange cassettes. You would have a boombox with two cassettes. You would play one while you recorded on the other. Then you gave the cassette back to your friend. Next was the VCR with the big ass cassettes.

    Then you would do the same with floppies, then zip disks. Then one day CD recording was a thing, then DVDs. Then thumb drives and now portable HDDs. Basically the cheapest form or recording is always the most popular way for people to share stuff.

    The only ones who don’t want us to share are those who want to make millions by never innovating.
