    I’ll join some kind of neo-Amish community and live without the Internet before I put up with a shitty Internet that’s locked down to that extent.

      I’m down with that. The internet has made humanity worse overall even if it makes life more convenient. It’s a Pandora’s box we weren’t ready for yet.

        The internet isn’t what turned everything to shit. That was capitalism. Technology of and by itself is never evil, but of course there’s always tons of people ready to use it for evil purposes. Our current ‘big bad’ is still simply capitalism though.
