Fuck AI

I've been part of that game for a long time as well. I guess it used to be easier when things were a bit simpler, more transparent and less connected. But there's no way this works in the modern world with the amount of complexity (and intransparency) stuffed into an average electric vehicle. Or getting a doctor's appointment via Doctolib.

We better take care of this, though.

I wish selfhosting was a bit easier. I do that as well. My stuff is on a Nextcloud. We have all these alternatives available and it works quite well. We'd really need to make it available to everyone, though. Like a home wifi router, or a small device that people just plug in, with an unbreakable and maintanence-free selfhosting solution for home use. We have several projects aiming at that. But I don't think we're quite there yet. I think something like Home-Assistant is almost there, just for a different niche. It's relatively easy to just buy a RaspberryPi or their box, set it up. It's almost indestructible and by paying a few bucks a month they take care of making it available from outside and some money goes towards development and a healty community.
