What do people mean when they say “the internet” in this context? The social internet of the 2000s?

I say this it feels unimaginative to me to say that the internet is dead. Social media? For the major platforms, sure. But the Fediverse feels alive and novel, and the Internet itself is certainly not going anywhere - could you imagine if email went away?

I don’t know, I am in large agreement that the internet has gotten worse, with that accelerating with generative AI. But I also feel like being driven away from Big Tech platforms has led me to learn more about how the Internet actually works and to discover topics and communities that I hadn’t before. Maybe the internet isn’t wholesale dead, just changing

I use LibreWolf when finding torrents, and I use Firefox for my normal day to day use. I wouldn’t call myself a power user though

What browser do power users use?

Yes, that is what I do with the same setup

True, but WireGuard is on their roadmap of features in the works

Nope, just an image I came across. I wish there was a quiz like that though!

Good to know - thanks!

I believe LineageOS has a wider selection of devices

• BitWarden
• uBlock Origin
• Privacy Badger
• Cookie AutoDelete
• VideoDownloadHelper

I’ve seen LibreWolf mentioned a few times. What’s the difference between the two?

SimpleLogin. It’s owned by Proton, and I use their VPN and mail quite a bit. And it can be integrated with BitWarden to generate random usernames that forward to your mail account

Or they just don’t care. Most people I know don’t think twice about their online privacy and security. “Why should I care? I don’t have anything to hide.”
