@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social I just had a vision in which data center equipment became so cheap and efficient to build and run that public libraries offered web hosting and VPS services to anyone with a library card. Like, if libraries were once private artifacts only built by the obscenely wealthy until people voted to provide them as a public good, why can't the same happen for data centers?

@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social Agreed, although digital libraries are also cool. The Internet Archive and Anna's Archive are a blessing.

Well this turned out to be popular.🤷🏽 I tried to find the originator but gave up. A friend texted it to me, I’m guessing she saw it on Facebook, but an image search pops back with a dozen or so from all over the place. So if you know who did it, @ me or post it here. Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was an #AI that came up with it?
