It's getting rare to own anything. Everything is just a temporary license or subscription or even if you own the thing it's dongled to the vendor and when the vendor is in a bad mood or goes bankrupt your thing can't be used any more...

I'm far too old to play the "everything is rented" game. I refuse to participate and I'm stunned anyone else does.

OTOH, I brought up how Trump/Project-2025 is dismantling NOAA on neighborhood.com, rather crucial to us on the Gulf Coast, and had this (heavily paraphrased) discussion with Karen:

"I PAY for my weather app! Don't care if you can't!"

"Uh, where do you think that app gets it's data?"

"Not arguing with an idiot!"

And that was the day I learned that people pay monthly fees for free data. (I heartily recommend Weawow. Free, does everything I want except tide tables.)

I also learned that Project 2025 is a conspiracy theory and I'm an idiot for believing in it. Live and learn!
