#11: Benjamin André - Cozy Cloud

Author: Francis Irving January 31, 2014 Duration: 20:15
After the Personal Computer, is the Personal Cloud next? Benjamin André talks about Cozy Cloud, including thoughts on business models for decentralized services.

Redecentralize interviews, hosted by Francis Irving, is a monthly series of compact conversations with the people quietly building a different kind of internet. This technology podcast moves beyond the hype to focus on the individuals and the practical code behind the movement to distribute control away from corporate silos. Each episode is a focused fifteen-minute discussion that asks direct questions: what specific problem are you solving, what does your technology actually do, and what does a decentralized future look like in tangible terms? You’ll hear from developers and thinkers working on protocols for communication, data storage, and digital identity, exploring the trade-offs and challenges inherent in redesigning the web's foundations. The tone is curious and grounded, more a series of thoughtful tech briefings than manifesto deliveries. By listening to this podcast, you gain a clearer window into the ongoing architectural shift of our digital world, one concise interview at a time. It’s for anyone who senses the internet is heading in a troubling direction and wants to understand the tangible, if incremental, alternatives being built in response.
