Pinokio is a new software platform that enables users to run their own "personal Internet" locally on Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with a single click[^1]. The platform allows users to run web servers, AI models, and command-line applications directly on their local machines[^3].

Released in version 5.0, Pinokio positions your personal computer as "the Cloud," letting you operate various applications and services on your localhost rather than relying on remote cloud services[^1][^3].

This seems like desktop applications with extra steps.

I always thought the definition of "the cloud" was: "someone else's computer". Today I learn my computer is also "the cloud".

You know it's only a matter of time until computers are 'sold' by subscription.

<.< Is this satire? “Run command line applications locally” as a feature?
