    Nah. Web devs will create even more bloated web pages to keep home computing in business.

    For real though, most people don’t need that much computing power, and we reached the plateau 12 years ago. That’s why we’re seeing crypto and AI grifts happen. They recentralize decentralized systems. The elites are striking back.

    You know the saying“information wants to be free; information wants to be expensive”? This is the expensive part where people try to horde knowledge by making it inaccessible to everyday people.

        How is this applicable to the comment? Companies never figured out how to charge rent for those.

        Devs see home computers as a free resource, and the burden is on the consumer to buy a computer which runs their software.
