Local-computing Memes

The dystopian future where you can't even run a local Python script without Big AI knocking on your door. Apparently in 2030, owning your own hardware is considered tax evasion. The trajectory is clear: first they got us hooked on cloud services, then subscription-based IDEs, and now we're headed toward renting GPU cycles just to compile our code. Can't wait to explain to the AI police why I'm running TensorFlow locally instead of paying $99/month for CloudGPU Pro Max Plus. The "sheltering NVIDIA RTX 5090" bit is chef's kiss. Like we're harboring fugitive hardware in our basements. "Sir, step away from the graphics card and put your hands where I can see them."
