You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy…or Not

My internet is down, and I still can’t access my Google Documents. After resetting my network settings, once again, I found that it’s now Charter Communications (Spectrum) that is down. Depending on cloud storage for Google Documents, and a subscription business model (along with cloud storage) for Apple Music, made me think of this TED talk that I watched a few months ago.

About Orit Dolev

No, I haven’t found any connection to the World Economic Forum, and I’m not going to waste any more time looking, as that’s not the point of this post. I do wonder how many people, who believe in the ‘Great Reset’, use either cloud storage or a subscription service. Just do a search for the World Economic Forum and cloud computing, or the World Economic Forum and subscription business model, and you’ll see that they mention them, often.

Anyway, I need to stop dilly-dallying around, online, and set up my laptop. That and install my new modem and wireless mesh network. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now. First, I need some sleep.

It’s almost like they’re encouraging Ukraine to use a dirty bomb, themselves!

I’d be scared after that one word, too! 🙄 #clickbait

Musk’s Pledge To Bring Starlink To Iran Didn’t Actually Do Anything. That Didn’t Stop The Hype Machine.

Despite Elon Musk’s disdain for the press, his legend wouldn’t exist without the media’s need to hyperventilate over every last thing that comes out of the billionaire’s mouth. We’re at the point where the dumbest offhand comment by Musk becomes its own three week news cycle (see the entire news cycle based on Musk’s comments on a baseless story about somebody cheating at chess with anal beads).
