If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr
If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can’t kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.
Honestly, back off. The more tech literate I get, the less tech I want in my life.
This is exactly how I feel too! As a “cloud engineer” (even the titles are pointless) the last thing I want to do is to have anything to do with tech whatsoever, even if I like my job
Tor (with bridges enabled) intensifies
I’ll avoid the ID demanding sites. Feels similar to how I never got into iPods because I didn’t like iTunes, mp3 players still happened.
I moved songs to my ipod with winamp.
Winamp kicks the llama’s ass
No it doesn’t. There are whips
I used file explorer.
Much the same theme, I’m glad Calibre exists but I’d prefer to be able to copy files directly to my eReader.
Dark web
Any other alternatives to freenet and tor? Every single alternatice counts
I lived great before the Internet, I’ll live just as great after it’s gone.
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.
Touch Grass maybe
Save £24 a month more than I do now
I’ll start by disabling Javascript and see how far that gets me
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)
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.

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.
