He has a vested interest in saying that, but he's right, and it would be awful
I mean, I've got boxes full of physical books and self hosted movies and Tv. At that point, I'll just stop using the internet. I need to go outside more anyway.
Finally all my friends that been giving me shit about having a dvd collection can eat shit.

The next step will be to make more essential services online only, so people have to use the internet.

If this becomes widespread, I just won't use any websites that require it. There will always be ways around it or alternatives for people opposed to losing their privacy. There already are at least 2 Internets. There's reddit and Facebook and Twitter and all the corporate news sites, and then there's Lemmy and archive.org and the dark web and dev pages and independent websites and piracy. I find I rarely care about the former anyway. It'll just mean being blocked off from all the corporate slop, which may be a blessing in disguise.

That's quite obviously the end goal here.
Can we make a new internet?
Yes, have a look at reticulum. No centralized addressing authority. No centralized domain naming system. Everything is globally routeable. It also just got support for transferring HTTP with RServer and MeshBrowser.
I always figured we would go to tor when this day came. But I keep seeing people mention all of these alternatives I have not heard of. Is this reticulum better?
Yeah, we ( you guys ) should fork the internet.
There's Meshtastic and the like ( I think ) but then again what we'll build there? Another fediverse ? I don't see the difference with what I have now.

Dark web 2.0, here we come!
This moron is also a MAGA appologist and enabler. I left Proton for other alternatives. They want to claim they are "politically nuetral" well if you really were you wouldnt be commenting at all on politics would you?
I must have missed a bunch. I only recall him saying he liked trumps pick for one role.
And afaik that was it. It has been blown out of proportion many times since by people forming opinions based on headlines. If there was anythung else I'd like to know too though
People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin
His earlier words did not age well
"Could" is a funny way of saying "are obviously intended to". Stop playing around, call it out directly. Points where you must have your ID checked are, in fact, ID checkpoints.
Stating the obvious.
META was a major lobbyist for all of the state bills we’ve seen so far. There’s probably more. Or META is taking the lead because most hate them already, which provides a nice distraction from anyone else involved.
Tech and data centers want our data. What better way for a complete data set is there? I’m sure Palantir is in there somewhere.
Maybe Kaczynski had a point by running off to the woods and living in a cabin.

How long before we get a Meshtastic style, decentralized internet?
Fuck proton and especially fuck the proton CEO.
“Turn into” ?
Moreso. It can always get worse, and indeed everything is.
As of right now it is optional.
