Does anyone know why this was excluded from the Wayback Machine? Go try to add it and see.

I'm going to save a copy locally because this is really scary stuff.

I already avoid the subscription/streaming economy as much as I can. I strive for digital autonomy. I #selfhost everything I can. I avoid LLMs like the plague. I avoid plastic like the plague. (Yes, I avoid the plague like the plague too. #maskup )

I try not to participate in the surveillance economy. All my appliances are smart enough to mind their own business. We've been railroaded into smartphones like everyone else, but we run a privacy-centric OS on older phones. We avoid processed foods. We burn clean energy, even if we can't afford solar yet - our town makes carbon-free electricity available at a fairly steep cost.

And yet, none of this matters if we don't all move together on it.

This feels incredibly important for people to read and understand.

Hold on to Your Hardware

A warning about rising prices, vanishing consumer choice, and a future where owning a computer may matter more than ever as hardware, power, and control drift toward data centers and away from people.
