There is a place for big tech in all of this: even free tiers of chatbots can teach you how to use all of these tools. The price of sovereignty goes down every day.

It’s more about devs than companies. Each element has its own enthusiasts, and a strong open source culture. You know the bitcoin ones well, I’m sure. The others are similar in spirit, and passion, and usefulness.

The way open source is funded is so interesting. Grants etc. But I personally love the idea of funding companies with break-out sovereignty tech. Maybe that's not possible within the guardrails of incoroporation? Ie the state captures the essence of these tech at limited liability. Do you see any companies actually breaking out into growth phase? It will be all about how you analyse them I think

Good correction. I’m not deep in that world myself, though I do host all media locally and have no music subscriptions.

I’ve done fancier things in the past, but my present setup is exceedingly simple. I keep tens of thousands of mp3s, collected over the last 25+ years, on my own hard drive, and listen to them with Apple Music. I connect my phone with a cable and the library transfers over painlessly. No streaming, no surveillance, no subscriptions, no nonsense.

I think it's good to have my self-hosted music server to share music with friends and family
