- I started thinking about this after reading [[Warzel, Charlie - 2023 - My Printer is Extorting Me]], which touches on digital rights management and how we don't really *own* things anymore; even our printers are essentially on loan. - It seems like we're renting our entire lives, from our houses to the imaginary folders in the sky that hold all of our data. - Funnily enough, I asked a question about this on Discord a few days ago: **What happens to our Steam libraries when we die?** I think [[{2.1} we're losing the magic of our life's ephemera to the cloud]].
