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.
Hard to say.
