When your current hardware fails and the only devices you are allowed to purchase anymore are walled garden tablets?

How will you communicate however you want then? Will Elon make a Tor client available on xAI cloud? Will Anthropic’s store have I2P?

Do you think Microsoft gives a FUCK about Meshtastic? Or Linux?

We dared to speak out against our overlords and now they are taking the toys away if we do not stop them.

    Better get to making the most of it.

    Some of us bought our hard drives before OJ Simpleton got elected. Fill em up now or regret it later.

    Ebooks, 100%. Information density first and foremost, then comics/manga, then movies and sure, some TV, a copy of wikipedia, linux isos and tools, more isos, more tools, a few containers and a virtual machine disk of your choice - went with Debian.

    Future's fucked. I do my part to donate to whoever I think will turn the tide anyway, but... have a plan B.

    If it comes to that point, there will still be ways to get software that gets around it. It might require a physical transfer from somebody, but they can't ever cover 100% of the options. Black markets will always exist, and Anarchist or hacker groups would probably help you for free.
