    Low effort joke

    When I was your age, we used to own our music. It worked offline and we could copy it to other devices.

    Tangent

    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.

      why aren’t normies speaking up

      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.

      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.

      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.
