It's 2026 and people still haven't figured out that big platforms are not their friend. It's both amazing and sad.
I wonder if there's any way of getting it into people's heads that they need to maintain their own data under their own care, but I fear the big platforms sink way too much money into propaganda to convince people to continue trusting them.

It's not only about "getting it into their heads", it's also about feasiblity. Not many people have the capability to do that given real life constraints and demands.
Maybe with AI at some point, we 'll get a consumer AI box with enough intelligence, compute, storage and low price that it can handle those things without putting mental load on the consumer to maintaint and or set it up.

It's 2026 and people still think it's not about convenience.
If they have to "maintain their own data under their own care" and it's inconvenient, they'll prefer the convenient option, even if it means ocassionally losing their stuff or lacking privacy.
