I lived great before the Internet, I’ll live just as great after it’s gone.
Touch Grass maybe
Impersonate dead celebs (or ones that should be)
Self host even more… Use Gemini even more
Gemini?
A simple Web-like hypertext system without styles and scripts. The protocol can be implemented in two days by a complete idiot (I have my own Gemini viewer, I may not be terribly proud of it, but I like it).
Is this like Gopher?
The commercial web that I use that might require ID would be for payment processing etc. My bank knows how old I am. I can and will pay bills directly through my bank instead of using their portal. Or they can explain to me in writing why they don’t want to take my payment. Just about everything else is optional.
I’ll avoid the ID demanding sites. Feels similar to how I never got into iPods because I didn’t like iTunes.
I moved songs to my ipod with winamp.
Winamp kicks the llama’s ass
Pixel phone running Calyx, VPN, physical maps, second name, second phone number, leaving most platforms, trying to take my people with me
You don’t even need physical maps, even with google maps you can download them offline. As for everything else, I already do that (replacing calyx with graphene)
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.
exacrly this. i have been preparing for this for a decade.
I don’t use any “big brother” services. At work, it’s a different story, I guess.
I wish that the internet was removed from every day reality. Or at least I wish it wasn’t so invasive and obligatory.
As of now I only visit a handful of privacy respecting sites on a regular basis. For all others I use web archive links rather than actually visiting the site.
I’ll start by disabling Javascript and see how far that gets me
Inventing a new internet.
Stop using any sites that require ID.
Hope that this will completely kill the corporate Internet and switch to exclusively using FOSS federated or decentralized services for everything.
