    It really seems like they don’t want us owning anything anymore.
    First it was the software, it because license agreements.
    Now it’s becoming too expensive to own hardware and we’ll have to rent it from them.

      This is why I stick with open source. Sadly, I don’t know what to do about hardware. For a GPU, go with AMD I guess?

      The worst is that this isn’t even the lack of ownership I want! I’d love to not own a car and have reliable public transit, but can’t have that. Instead, I’m not allowed to own the computers and software I buy, or the music I like, or pretty much anything else that brings me joy. Heck, you don’t even own the posts you make in the large social media sites!

        Well you’re in luck, you also will soon not own your own car either. No public transport though, that’s communist.
