Decentralize all the things!

Could I imagine the data centers holding student loan debt, mortgages, and credit card debt also being destroyed? As a treat?

Maybe I got my history wrong, but that earlier philosophy of the Internet simply being a "web" of a bunch of interconnected computers/nodes felt like it was way more resilient.

Data centers certainly still have their use, for storage and CDNs and whatnot, but I feel that the corporations' usual lust for monopoly probably overcentralized our infrastructure, annnnd here we are where if anything happens to AWS or Azure or whatever, nobody can connect to anything.

Corporate enterprise controlled networks are super lame.

Good, fuck AWS. We shouldn't be that dependent on Amazon. Fuck Amazon.

I pray that every single data center containing every single cloud based system is turned to ash.

I want their systems of control and oppression to wither into dust.

I do not want to live my life the way that it is now. I want for the insanity of 3000000000 accounts, all with my detailed personal info, circling about on the internet to end.

There is a better way to organize the internet and by Zeus if we have to burn the internet and the financial world to do it, THEN LET US.

Pretty sure we know what data centers are for.

It really is. Like even if it inconveniences me, it's worth it

Almost all websites are running on servers in datacenters. You lose fun stuff, but you lose Lemmy instances, you bank goes down, commerce goes down, wikipedia goes down, most of the internet goes offline.

Offline is okay, you say? Not when banks can't move money because it's down. Not when stores can't sell anything and you can't pay by cards or get gas or groceries, and stores can't restock because trucking.

People really need to be educated about what datacenters are and aren't, because far too many people think they're just for AI or just for a few things.

Modern society depends heavily upon them.

AI models can work locally. Your bank account on the other hand..
