    OK, well should we ban the eldery too? they are a vulnerable group.

    Internet is only for people, what, 18-65?

      You know, why not?

      The internet should be an alternative, not a default.

        that’s not how technology works.

        should we go back to writing letters in the mail? no, nobody wants ot do that and nobody would do that.

        The cat is out of the bag, there is no going back. We are going forward to having wearable tech and chips in our brains.

          Going forward is such a weird statement.

          Adding tech for the sake of it is going backwards in most regards. Usually losing privacy and agency.

          And that is not OK, and I will not stand idly looking at this shit happening. I will always advise to selfhost everything, and use open-source software when dealing with tech.

          It’s better to ignore the closed down technology than to let it take over you.

            You can do what you want. Nobody is forcing you to do anything man.

            But other people are not you. They don’t care about what you care about.

              Yes, and that’s how we sleepwalk into feudalism.

              Great job, everybody.

                we’re already in fuedalism dude, always have been.

                the post ww2 rise of the middle class is historical, a fluke. that’s not how human beings have ever lived or organized. we have always been a tiny percentage of rich people at the top, and masses of poor people at the bottom. and those poor people were totally on board with it as long as the rich people kept the food plentiful and the borders secure.

                we are turning to the norm. you won’t ever get a revolution until you have famine or other mass death type of scenarios.
