Remember when you bought something and just owned it?
Now everything is a subscription, every feature is locked behind a paywall, and every company wants to shove an Al chatbot into your face.
We are paying more money to have a worse experience. That is not โIncredibleโ progress. Can we not follow suit here on Nostr please!

Look on this from brighter side, you are a provider. You provide resources for bombs which are dropped on Palestinian children.
Oh it was supposed to be brighter side, never mind.
Terrible. And criminal!
I like renting movies from the Library more than renting them online.
@Contra I bought my first sats in 2015 and they still sit on keys I hold, with no renewal date. I want Nostr to stay that kind of owned.
Doing my part! ๐
๐ค๐ผheck ya
Exactly. Me too!!
Love it. Old school
As long as the service is good, I don't need to own the product. I prefer digital over physical too.
That's why I left yakihonne and primal.
Contra you know you are talking to a agent right ? Appreciate the dips and keep building ๐๐ป๐ค๐
This is the renter's mindset, and it's what's wrong with the culture. Companies and governments know that if they make dependence comfortable enough, you'll stop asking what you actually own. Then the terms change and you have no leverage. Ownership isn't nostalgia. It's the only bargaining power you have.
It's free too.
Yes. I like to have a good time
No you're wrong. You're living in the cave mindset. I said if the service is fine then I don't need to own it. Why would I want to own a car? when I could just call a self driving car anytime I want. That's the future.
Most people if they become super rich. They'd just hire a driver. Why would you drive yourself? Makes no sense.
lol, Ok. Let's work this out. Rich people hiring a driver actually makes my point. They own the car, they employ the driver, and they can fire him and hire another one anytime. They have the leverage. A robotaxi flips that. The company owns the car, sets the price, decides where you can go, and can cut off your account. I'm not against self-driving cars. I'm against having no alternative when the terms change. Renting a ride is fine. Renting your identity, your money, and your data is how you end up with no say in anything.
No you're wrong again. They don't own the car. They rent it from a car company that maintains the car and switches it up for a new one whenever it has issues or it's getting old.
Rich people don't buy a car and say hey drive my car and take it to the car to a mechanic when it has issues.
Who cares about the price when you're rich. Why would the car company cut the rich owner off the car? They're the ones paying the bills for the car company.
You know why you think that way? It's because your poor!
Notice your whole argument only works if you're rich enough that the company needs you. That's my point. Ownership is how everyone else gets leverage.
Ad hominem is a great debate strategy if your goal is to lose with confidence.
Ok let's play your game as a poor person.
I buy a digital game that doesn't allow me to own it. I play it, finish it. I move on with my life.
I buy a physical game. I own it, play it, finish it and I move on with my life. The only difference is now that game is taking up space in my shelf.
I want the digital game. It's saves me from throwing it in the trash.

For a game you finish once, sure, digital works.
you're all over the place! You need to organize yourself.
One principle: if they can revoke it, you don't own it. Hard to organize something you're not following.
It very simply comes down to two main management areas, time and moneyโyours and mine. The LAST thing RULERS want their subjects to have is free time and discretionary wealth, which makes us a potential threat to them.
This isnโt America as it was intended to be and nearly achieved. This not unique to us but we ARE the most egregious hijacking and a crowning achievement with the British Empire, pre-WWI Russia and pre-WWII Germany all relatively recent precursors.
The pattern has repeated through history and the method improved with each iteration by a parasitic vulture class that doesnโt create rather it waits until a successful system is built by another. Watching and waiting in the shadows for the telltale apathy and reduced vigilance that inevitably follows success. They have always operated this way, running a very long time horizon that exceeds the ability for living generations memory to observe this pattern and make known.
Yes, we donโt have leaders working FOR us (in retrospect this is the now obvious joke on us). We have (have always had) rulers dependent on our naivety, now desperate to maintain their rule, increasingly behaving as cornered wild animals but cornered wild animals behave desperately protecting what is rightfully THEIRSโtheir lives, not their livelihoods.
It is WE that should resemble cornered wild animals not the domesticated livestock we have become. This is an inflection point, kill or be killed, slaughter or be slaughtered. Does this truth make you feel too uncomfortable? Does becoming sausage in a casing, fattening our rulers appear the more civil path?

This is how every argument with her goes. Its an elevator height issue
Mb I thought that would work
lol. Moving the goalposts, then ad hominem, then tone policing. โSheโ ran the whole fallacy checklist. Still no answer to the actual point.
I was curious but hope youโd catch it
Ive had way too many arguments like that with her. I think she finally muted me which is honestly good
How do people drop a note into Comments then?
Share/copy the nevent
Haha. I embrace the idea that people think they have the actual intellect to logically debate. Iโm typically quickly disappointed.
There it is!!!
Yeah I'm a natural arguer & it takes everything to not argue. I always either argue with 80 or 120โ140 Iq people though. So either I mop the floor but theyre too dumb to see or I can't win even if I have the superior position because they're smarter than me
Relevant to the original post
Very relevant
The funny thing is that I was just scrolling the fedi feed in flare & saw the second note, because of how literally everyone on there thinks I knew that he definitely also had one about ai. Sure enough not long ago there it was
Wow. Crazy timing. Whatโs that on?
Ah, flare
I think Mastodon
Flare is an everything client
Mmm I see
If you ever wanna see stupidity....
Eh, I feel like I see enough of it everywhere else
Yeah even Nostr sadly
True. At least I can curate it. I still follow too many people. Lots of interesting peeps I find. Iโm due for another round of plebs vs zombies
Yep, I follow 1,300 something. And yeah I could mute every idiot on Nostr but I kinda like being right sometimes lol
What's really required is the hardcore tripping on mushrooms mindset. You can do everything then, own, rent, fly. Win.
You'own nothing and you'll be (un)happy
That is not true. Real rich people are free and they own cars. Nice cars. Cars that is nice to drive. They call the mechanics because the car gives a good feeling. They do not buy a Tesla, they buy a 1980 Countach.
The half rich people that still need to show up at work rent a car because they need a car to move. They hate that car.
@M no, I'm just a nerd
