    Use waifuAI to upscale my old p0rn collection sleeping deep inside that odly named directory for 20 years and think about the good old time of emule and razorback.

    I’ve gone long years without using any social media associated to my identity, as many others do, and i’ll eat my cooked shirt if I start thinking, “hey sure why not let me into this shitty internet”.

    I’ll be fine without using the internet if it comes down to it, at that point it’d be a liability. Dinosaurs think they can control the internet which is a hilarious proposition in the first place.

    Hope that this will completely kill the corporate Internet and switch to exclusively using FOSS federated or decentralized services for everything.

    We should really start concentrating more on decentralization.

    Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.

    What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.

    As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.

    Torrent more

    Someone said I2P or TOR can be ran through port 80 but I doubt that.

      and make sure it’s a foreign fake so that the system is unable to detect the security features that fakes usually don’t have

    Hard to say.

    Sounds like the alternatives are to suck it up, leave the country for somewhere that isn’t the case yet, stop using the internet…

    There definitely is a line where requiring nonsense is more effort than it is worth. That line has already definitely been crossed by “news media”. The quality of articles and interviews is so abysmal, that any hear say you get over three rebounds over social media is still somehow equal to the original bad source.

    Social media is on the edge. I don’t expect to have a serious discussion on facebook or twitter, that’s why I don’t go there. If it’s easier to hang out in a bar near a library to hope someone worth talking to walks in or something like that. That will be the thing to do.

    And also, that line will probably just never be actually crossed for internet platforms like amazon or alibaba. Shipping and ordering things online is absurdly convenient compared to go to physical locations and them needing to have the thing stocked, etc…

    Most of (open source) software is already built in a way that could be taken offline completely. Internet is just a fast and easy delivery mechanism, but carrying USB sticks is extremely viable for getting code from A to B

    And for entertainment, I can honestly just go back to reading books. It’s not the total information super highway, but it would be something.
