That's a function of technology. It would absolutely be possible to integrate something like Nextcloud into operating systems or devices. It will never happen, because every party in a position to do such an integration is also in a position to become a middleman and extract money, which is much more profitable.
- komali2 2y agoI'm curious what an integration would look like. Are you thinking Google Play Services but Nextcloud Services instead?
- magicalhippo 2y agoOpera, before it got Chrome-ified, had a built in web server. I used it to share files with my buddies. Super simple. Didn't support scripts IIRC but with webassembly it doesn't have to be too difficult to support something like NextCloud I'd think.
- Barrin92 2y ago>That's a function of technology No, it's a function of economics. Division of labour still works. It is not more profitable to run your own cloud and pay for your own traffic when you're specialized in producing content. It makes financial sense to pay someone to do that for you. The middleman is cheaper, that's why they exist. The internet looks like it does for only one reason, in any system of increasing complexity there are increased returns to specialization and trade.
