You can now turn your old smarphone into a pocket cyberdeck. Because why not

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.
> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?
There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.
> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?
None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.
> But are you / they in the cloud?
No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.
> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

People who aren't artists saying the worst part of being an artist is making art.
People who aren't musicians complaining about how hard it would be to actually make music.
People who don't like written communication are "authoring" books, now that they can skip the pesky "writing" step.
Artists aren't adopting AI. AI users are pretending (badly) to be artists.

There are lines you can feel echoing through history. They'll wonder how so many saw it coming, but it all still happened.
I’m on the hunt for a new podcasting service.
Kicking this summer off I’m in the process of really shaking up the JCU (Jared Content Universe), and one aspect of that which has become clear to me is I need to find a new hosting platform which supports an unlimited number of shows with a single (low) price. In other words, I need what is essentially the core infrastructure for a podcast network.
(Bonus feature: it needs to integrate well with Buttondown!)

Even the original situation wasn't talking about causes.
The original observation was from a guy named Pareto in 1906 that about 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the people.
That doesn't imply anything causal at all. In fact they are both results of other forces. I'd reckon primarily multiple centuries of serfdom.
Am I going nuts or does anyone have anything substantial to actually point me to that even the vague idea of 80/20 is even directionally correct?
"A hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel was able to obtain an FBI official's phone records and use Mexico City's surveillance cameras to help track and kill the agency's informants in 2018...
...audit of the FBI's efforts to mitigate the effects of "ubiquitous technical surveillance," a term used to describe the global proliferation of cameras and the thriving trade in vast stores of communications, travel, and location data."
The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
Yup, we've had those words since 1997.
Essentially, proprietary development is a cathedral model by nature. Therefore, that's what all non-FLOSS corporate development looks like, even when such development relies of Open Source code.
What we're seeing is an attempt by such corporate developers to force a cathedral model onto Open Source maintainers, when we now have long documented evidence that the bazaar model is very credible.

@MissGayle disagree, in that this *is* still being done by the same rich guys with private jets. AI is being shoved by them everywhere by force because adoption is, in fact, considerably less quick than they would have hoped
