    God dammit, and just as Google starts enforcing manifest 3. Maybe it’s time to stop doing this internet thing altogether. It had a pretty nice run but right now it’s just a propaganda and compliance tool…

      Bring back ham radios.

      Ah shit I’m too introverted to use my voice…

      Data packets through radio?

      Btw: Rattlegram is a Android/iOS app that can convert text to audio, which you can then play over a ham radio. You can use encryption before you paste the ciphertext into Rattlegram. (Encryption over radio is illegal in many jurisdictions tho… 🏴‍☠️)

      I was on the verge of deleting everything online, including my email address, because I’m with you, but at what point does the privacy movement start intruding on enjoyment of daily activity. I’ve accepted that my information will be had in exchange for a good product.

      It’s not exactly how I want to operate, but also, life is too short. Ultimately, I’m on the verge of using Mullvad Browser, Mullvad VPN, and probably getting my email hosted out of some small shared hosting platform somewhere.

      I think about this type of stuff daily and it’s just exhausting. The Internet has transformed into what we’d hoped it wouldn’t over the past five years.
