It seems bleak but there are millions of sites and many of them aren’t going to add age checks.

And there are also self-hostable alternatives although figuring out how to install and use it can be difficult. But I’m getting used to docker it’s a lot easier than when I first started.

I think all this regulation will make the internet small again. The pendulum will swing away from this terrible direction we’ve gone in. I’m okay with it. Let them ruin it. I know that there will still be places to go.

I just run my own internet now, completely restricted to my own hosted websites and services. With hookers and blackjack.

Actually, forget the internet

every goddamn thing needs an update or a login or some feature was deleted or now this thing cant talk to that thing. it is unbelievably exhausting. i dream of becoming a hermit in the woods somewhere.
