One of the reasons I keep updating my list of modern tools is that they make life better for individual people. Not cloud services or fleet managers, just humans trying to get human-scale things done.
I want to learn about the improvements in computing that make life better for people who don't own a hundred thousand computers or want renting them out to work better.
We need to start seeing rentier computing and the cost of its primacy for the corrosive force it is.
@mhoye Ah! That clarifies things. But aren't things like AWS filling a real need?
@worldsendless AWS is computer rental; all cloud services are.
