is anyone else preparing to go back to the 90s if age verification happens?I'm going back to home phone, basic PC, and that's it.
>>108079221I have tons of residential proxies, disposable numbers and stolen IDs prepared, so I'm fine.
>>108079266that's just kicking the can down the road. the internet will be a ghost town anyways you'll be doing all that to be surrounded by tiktok roasties and zoomers.
>>108079221
>>10807930790% of people doesnt give a fuck and will most likely bend the knee to the KYC jew. Most of you wouldn't even think about using something other than internet to communicate.
>>108079334I've set up long range radio and receivers:^)
>>108079342I am doing a basic FM transmiter now, but after I finish it, I will probably focus on some 80M SSB one.
>>108079221I tossed the old laptops I was saving for my kids. They're not going to grow up with computers or TV or smartphones
>>108079221How about not living in a shit hole country that requires age verification to do something as simple as using the internet?
>>108079947it's going to be everywhere eventually retard
>>108079551bvck broken>>108079947thats the case for 90% of the world, amerimutt
>>108079969Then I'll make my own Internet with blackjack and hookers.
>>108079221Impossible in my country. 1. They killed the landlines, having a old school telephone is literally impossible. 2. Everything requires the nationwide used bank ID, either the app or on pc with a little card reader thing. Can't do anything without it, not even pay rent or book a doctors appointment. No banking either. So without it you're fucked. 3. As a retro pc lover, they suck massive balls when it comes to internet usage today. They simply cannot handle it anymore. Websites are too heavy etc.

>>108079318This makes me really miss my dead grandparents.
>>108079221>preparing to go back to the 90sWhat the fuck are you even talking about? People used the internet in the 1990s a lot

>>108079969It won't, dipshit.
>>108080194See, my first guess was Iran and my second guess was somewhere in Europe. Dunno what that says bout anythingat least you don't have palantir magic cameras everywhere like amerigays or chinks...
Too bad landlines cost more than the cheapest cell service. Honestly I wish people cared enough to use pirate boxes so we could have a mesh network
>>108079221Age verification for what? I don't use porn.
>>108079221As I am a good citizen, I'll just provide the service with the required information and be done with it.
>>108080194Same, but there are workarounds for some of the things you said. You could opt for alternatives to bankID when logging into your bank (bankdosa), and depending on your rental setup, you could get your bill in paper form (albeit with a fee), but you are right in that it is impossible to not have it and be an active member of the general public. The simplest solution is to just have a goyphone that you use solely for when its required and nothing else. If you havent already, start homeservermaxxing to the best of your ability
>>108080314you know how certain boards here are 18+? and right now you just click the "yeah i'm old enough" thing? that won't be the case then. so even if you don't view porn, if there's a chance porn would be posted there, you're showing id. so maybe you're just a blueboard only fag
>>108080314you'll need it for steam, youtube, Google, etc and the white man will not rest until he's ruined it all
>>108080556>US government passes national porn nannygate to supercede all the individual states doing it>hiro, not wanting to get sued, decides to just rangeban the entire country as it's cheapergod can you fucking imagine?
>>108080630that's happening in Europe now you retarded cannon fodder
>>108080620All of my accounts are older than 18.>>108080556Yep, just blueboards.
>>108080731doesn't matter. it's all social media. fucking moron
>>108080760I don't use that shit either lmao. 4chan, boomer forums, and group chats wit da boys. All I need.
>>108080695I still see eurocucks infesting the website albeitdoe
>>108079221Using internet all the time is just an annoying habit you have learned during the past two decades or so. I hate myself for using 4chan even. Yea you could unlearn it by limiting the availability drastically.
>>108079221just go back now, the 90s arent getting any younger
>>108079221Will they ban VPN? Business requires VPN you know. I would just re-open my business just pro forma if necessary.
>>108080003The war would be us against the corrupt elites in Brussels.
>>108080620> you'll need it for steamI don't buy games. I got almost 900 games here, more than I can play in a lifetime.> youtube, GoogleNever needed an account to use this. My Android phone works fine without Google account. I don't install any spyware that I didn't code myself.
>>108079318Why my neck hurts so much starter pack
>>108081274OK, this is a long one.You need to understand this about the British: they are not cucks, they are lazy. The rightare screaming about 'two tier' policing and illegal immigrants like it's on the level of the US border backlog, and how it's being covered up and people are being arrested and they want their free speech back etc. But the second a migrant uses the Human Rights Act to stay here they want to burn down all the human rights laws, pull us out of the European Court on Human Rights (the thing Churchill helped found) and all sorts of other self defeating shite . Also Brexit. Also mass deportation which requires mass surveillance.Fuck's sake.The left, for their part, complain about what is going on in America right now, they complain about what the right here are doing (i.e. the above), and accuse them of being in league with Elon who they think is trying to brainwash people and turn them into far right thugs. But then lay all the groundwork down by saying 'um actually, a digital brexit with a surveillance network that does all those same things is a good thing, chuddy, because Elon doesn't want to keep tab on our kids, and we've forced him into it!'I asked a few commenters on the Guardian website what they thought about how they're normalizing surveillance and racial profiling here with the same AI ICE are using to detain protesters, how the people running it are the same billionaires they've accused of racism (CORRECTLY). and all I get iA 'it's for the greater good'.Also, look up Ezra Sholl, the paraplegic cancer survivor who can't keep in touch with his friends in Oz.No wonder some people hate the left. Sanctimonious and condescending. I hope Polly Toynbee gets what she asked for and some Stalinists show her the firing squad.
>>108081934Addendum: you better believe Elon wants to keep tabs on your kids, to any left wing people reading this. Stop being so fucking naive.
>>108080253What fucks me off about the British Government is, despite all their bluster about protecting kids from nonces and Nazis, they tell kids to verify their age on twitter by feeding their mugshots into the same AI producing child porn out of other kids' photos, which could put their face on them, and it was known for a year. And when it comes out in the press this year Kier mutters something about 'mental health' and wants to ban under 16s, you now, the victims.And according to Melon Farmers, Ofcom have said they're going to investigate to see if there were appropriate safeguards in place against... kids seeing inappropriate content. Not safeguards against child porn being made out of them, but in case they saw boobs.Age verification is a one size fits all approach that does nothing.
Age verification did happen where I am. I just use Tor to get around it.If we get to a point where, say, having an open Tor or Wireguard port on your home router is enough to get the feds at your door, then yeah, I will just unplug myself.>>108079997>2. Everything requires the nationwide used bank ID, either the app or on pc with a little card reader thing. Can't do anything without it, not even pay rent or book a doctors appointment. No banking either. So without it you're fucked. Fuck me, that's grim.I know in some places in Spain you need a government phone app to take out the trash. I think I heard the same thing about Sweden too.
>>108079221Unfortunately, i'm not a NEET, and most daily responsibilities that an actual functioning adult needs will require internet access which in turn will require age verification.Why is this even a problem any way?
>>108080556websties will just update their TOS and ban anything that isn't with compliance its not the end of the world.4chan won't be any exception- they will just ban you from saying nigger and probably use AI to filter out NSFW images.
>>108080194Are refugees exempt from all that shit?
>>108079221Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D joystick spotted
>>108081934It's weird you keep repeating that people hate the left as if the right wasn't hated intensely by over 50% of the nation.
>>108079221ill see you guys on the dark web igthe normies havent fucking ruined it yet
>>108081274you will unironically need a loicense to use a vpn otherwise you get the secret police on your doorthats how turkey and shitholes like that does it
>>108079221That computer case lacks good airflow and is going to be noisy and hot as hell. 90mm fans, no dust filters, tons of hard drive bays and cables destroying the static pressure that should be feeding fresh air directly into the CPU/GPU from the only intake available... Computer cases have come a long way.
>>108081934>what they thought about how they're normalizing surveillance>'it's for the greater good'That's really all you had to say. Privacy has no popular support out here. As far as the British public is concerned, if you champion privacy, you're a nonce, simple as. So there's nobody willing to speak out against it. Nigel likes to lean into the libertarian rhetoric from time to time, but that's only because it helps him dunk on literally anyone in charge - everyone knows he's full of shit.>>108082286UK wants to implement age verification (aka identity tracking) for VPN services, so no secret police for hosting your own, but that would be the next logical step.
>>108079969This. Precipitated by moltbook, or likely its next iteration, and the implied, or explicitly engineered, chaos created by unbridled and anonymous machines. All AI outputs- linguistic, vision, or agent will require a digital watermark tied to your REAL ID in the US (drivers license).
>>108079221>I'm going back to home phone, basic PC, and that's it.>I'm going backWhat do you mean you are going back? I already live like this.
>>108079221I'm about to do the same thing, but not for the same reason - with a modern Linux distro. I plan to just use my normie phone online. and for offline use my 13.6 gb Linux workstation that stays on GIMP 3.0.4 forever with 100s of GEGL plugins and all the medif music and stuff I have to keep me entertained.I really don't need the internet for what I enjoy doing. a normie phone of stupid win11 laptop for internet only task and my workstation going entirely offline makes sense for me.
>>108079318Yeah, you can't hold your neck like that for more than an hour, and even that will hurt like hell.
>>108081813I used to have this setup and the first parts that are going to hurt are your legs and back
>>108079221I had Internet in the 90s. It was just 8kb/s and I was billed by the minute, but it was better than nothing. And in some ways better than the current Internet, though I would consider the early 2000s better.
>>108079318fan of epstein alert
>>108082319Retard. Computer cases didn't need so much airflow in the 90s because components weren't drawing hundreds of fucking watts each. The average 90s gaming PC drew ~100 watts at the wall.
>>108082956Look up "10°c increase in temps halves component lifetime amdahl's law" before you write that and forget how many of those systems are still functional today. They were still noisy as fuck even at idle.>the average gaming PC drew ~100w at the wallWith much shittier cooling capabilities and fans on top of already restrictive airflow. Most desktop computers used by gamers now IDLE at 100w in total system power in some cases but this isn't a problem due to better heatsinks and airflow.
>>108079221>home phoneNo you won't because the copper infrastructure and public switch telephone networks more broadly have been discontinued and withdrawn basically everywhere. It's all VOIP now. >basic pcUnless you've hoarded old rigs and parts to cannibalize from, it's too late. >and thats itGood luck.
>>108081968>Age verification is a one size fits all approach that does nothing.It does something, just not what it claims to do. The point is to tie your online activity to your identity (so they know exactly whose door to kick down when you step out of line) and for you to get used to this new reality. Once you get used to scanning your face or submitting your ID everytime you need a wank, you probably won't see the harm in using it for anything else that might require it. Eventually, you won't be given the choice.
>>108082266They will when all the jewtubers start shilling norddark or whatever, like how normalfags discovered and ruined VPNs.
>>108082884Explain this setup. Are you a cat?
>>108080191that's aryan
>>108079221Why don't free speech sites appear in dark web?
>>108082117No, they run into serious trouble with the most basic shit and need special handlers from the needed areas of government (tax, banking etc) to do even the most basic stuff. And a few years ago they made it even stricter (picrel and link). >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BankID_(Sweden)It has caused a ton of issues with immigrants and refugees not being able to seek healthcare, search for jobs or even open a bank account which is why a ton of them have left Sweden >https://www.government.se/press-releases/2024/08/sweden-has-more-emigrants-than-immigrants-for-the-first-time-in-half-a-century/They simply cannot live here unless they already have a Swedish personal identity number which only citizens have.

>>108079221idk, i might just emulate old stuff, not sure if i could go without internet, i might hang myself if i did that. as long as i can play turtle wow and maplestory bbb i should be fine.
>>108079997>>108080194Swede here, you can do banking without BankID... you get a little device looking like a calculator that generates numbers that you type in to approve actions like logging in, transfer money etc. If you don't have Internet you naturally have to walk into the bank to do stuff very slowly.Phone landlines were removed though, to cut down on maintenance for something that's not used and maybe also to avoid having criminals dig them up for the copper (that is probably just a meme tho).>>108080253Palantir is being tested in Denmark so I'm sure no country on earth will escape. If not by that company something similar.>>108087606It's glorious, the government has also implemented a requirement for staff to report illegals that seek medical aid or go to the library etc. We still have around 50k of those fuckers hiding but we'll deport them all eventually.
>>108079266How do you use that without an internet connection in your home? You'll need to provide ID just to sign up.
>>108080630right, the US is going to be the one imposing censorshipeuros have zero self-awareness
They had age verification in the 90s. I wasn't allowed to rent South Park VHS tapes or play Duke Nukem or Grand Theft Auto when they were new and had to wait until I was older.
>>108079266Residential proxies will soon be ineffective as more countries roll out age verification unless you're proxying from North Korea (and get Kim to send his glowies after you). Fake Ids will soon be ineffective as Palantir uses more data points to verify who you really are. Disposable numbers will soon be ineffective because Palantir will also verify who owns the numbers. All you have to do is accept that you have to wait until you're 18 like a good boy.
I wanted to make a thread about this but I'll just leave this post here instead, were web 1.0 applications more productive in just getting shit done than the overly complicated algorithms we have today or are millionaires just getting nostalgia baited?
>>108091322Millionaires = millennials, sorry on mobile
>Age verification Honestly kind of excited for it to take off. Once that happens I think it will cause a massive migration to Tor or I2P. Which would probably save the modern web. You'd lose the concept of paying for domain names and most of the SSL cert bullshit. You'd also get a lot more privacy by default and a lot more user generated websites.
Let me know when we're doing the whole radio Internet, packet radio thing and meming on BBS boards. I'm ready.

>>108090867If all hell gets lose, and you don't even want to be known by your ISP, you can just break into someone's wifi and use it there. Doing so is fairly easy if you aim for quantity rather than quality. You just need a proper wifi adapter and some software.>>108091309I used to use proxies from many literallywho third world shitholes like honduras or cambodia to get around KYC on many services, and I highly doubt they will ever give a fuck. Regardless, if that's the case, I will just use a bunch of stolen IDs instead.>palantirBoogeyman for obsessed amerimutts.
>>108079221Technically it is legal to make your OWN version of the INTERNET.I'm hoping that when the internet becomes so shit, and unusable, some Chad is going to stand up to the call.Hopefully someone will make their own internet clone that is much better than the modern Web.Perhaps, they can even reinvent the internet as we know it, not just the web, but the entire internet. I call it, the new internet. Reminder that it is currently legal to make your own replacement for the World Wide Web and Internet, but as soon as that becomes illegal then we are basically just living in China or North Korea at that point tho.Lol.
>>108092466I remember seeing a video on youtube where a guy was calling developers to join him in making another internet. I have no idea what was the name of the project nor do I know if it went anywhere. If someone knows anything about it please tell me
Bought multiple eHDDs to data hoard anything worth saving from before the Smartphone became a thing. I can legitimately see the free internet no longer being a thing soon, and with that the total disappearance of media relics.Currently seeding 5TB worth of roms from up to gen 6 consoles. Once I hit my quota on those I'm moving to old TV shows and anime, stuff like Star Trek, Frasier, DBZ, Pokemon and Digimon. Finally, after that it's software, operating systems, and books/information.I have so much old hardware hoarded over the last 15 years I can build 5 PCs out of it. I plan to make it until my death of old age with all this. My company also has so much e-waste meant for the garbage dump, I should probably start taking home some of that with me, cause even 2GB DDR2 RAM is more than enough to build a dedicated emulation system with...
>>108092466>>108092537>legal this, legal thatwhy are you faggots like this? You don't want to bend the knee to KYC jew, yet you are too scared to actually break the law. Either grow a pair or get in queue to suck some circumcised cocks.
>>108092554At no point did I mention legality of the project, I just want to know what's going on with it
>>108092570>Technically it is legal to make your OWN version of the INTERNET.>Technically it is legal
>>108092577Your problem is that you replied to two people and you thought the two were one person.Anyways my point is that people just need to be less lazy. There's not even a legal barrier getting in the way of making your own internet, the barrier is that people are just too lazy and unintelligent to do it.You can make your own hardware and operating system. TAD did it. He did it. My point is there's no barriers besides your own skill and time.Lol.
>>108091347>I think it will cause a massive migration to Tor or I2P. Which would probably save the modern web.Normalfags everywhere. What could go wrong?

>>108079221I've been downloading all the media I want if shit hits the fan. Going to build my own local net with downloaded wikipedia and so on. Been curating my rom library, finished up to ps1 + nds and psp, have to curate harder now since the later systems takes up so much space.
>>108094499Pretty much, internet these days is just bot farms talking to other bot farns. It's especially true here
>>108089512>you get a little device looking like a calculatorTrue but when mine broke (Swedbank) I had to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. I drove 3+ hours to their fucking office to have it replaced and they told me "nah sorry we don't have any right now so please order one online, IT WILL COME IN A FEW DAYS"... Fucking cunts. Even though it says online you can get a replacement from the office at all times.
>>108081968>>108083147It's always been about control.I want off this ride, but it's not happening.
>>108094839That's really bad. I also hate that my bank doesn't just let me send them a message any more when logged in. I don't want to talk to some subpar AI that just tells me to phone them in the end anyway. I think it's the same with your bank from what I've heard.
>>108092550>Currently seeding 5TB worth of roms from up to gen 6 consoles. Once I hit my quota on those I'm moving to old TV shows and anime, stuff like Star Trek, Frasier, DBZ, Pokemon and Digimon.
