I hate you can't just buy anything anymore. Everything has to be some damn subscription. I am done with it.

I am going back old school... physical movies, music, my own data server, self-hosted websites, and I am about to build out an in house AI computer that's going to cost me like 5K, but it will be mine and my ideas won't be training some public model and giving them to everyone else, nor will my prompts and data be tracked and recorded by a corporation.

The only monthly sub I am keeping is Amazon Prime, because when you live in the sticks and can get free shipping in 2 days or less, yeah, and as much as I order, yeah, that's a worthy subscription, lol. Everything else is going buy buy... Get it... LOL
