I haven’t written anything since I wrote about Google and Mozilla and to be honst, I haven’t felt like writing much recently. I began this blog almost a month ago so i’d be able to write things down on my own website and not on any forum or platform where I could get censored, and so all my writings would be in one place instead of scattered across the internet.
For the rest of this blog post i’m going to discuss some things that I do plan on writing about at some point:
- I plan on writing about how this world has became so reliant on the internet, how everything is becoming online, how physical media is made obsolete by streaming services, how smartphones have pretty much been mandated, and why all of this sucks.
- I also plan on writing about how people always think they need to have the newest technology, and how they might replace their devices every few years instead of waiting until their devices are broken beyond repair (CRT TVs last forever and so do gaming consoles). If it isn’t broken, don’t replace it.
- I plan on writing about how we can avoid the modern web by simply not going on Google, YouTube, Discord, Reddit, and other mainstream websites, and what we should be doing instead (for starters, don’t use webmail, use an email client instead).
- I plan on rewriting the Avoiding the Decline of Gaming article at some point, since the original was sort of a first draft that I just wrote as quickly as possible. I feel like I didn’t cover enough about why (most) video games are so bad now, my stance on emulation/piracy (which I never cared enough to do but I wouldn’t stop anyone else from doing it), and some other things. I’ll probably focus more on PC gaming and less on console gaming this time because PC gaming is pretty much the future for us (apart from emulation). Good consoles won’t last forever, and I don’t believe it’s worth buying consoles anymore (except the PS2 or DS if you want a home console or handheld experience, and there are ways to softmod those which i’ll write about) since the older ones are becoming harder to find and probably don’t even work as well anymore and all the new ones have always-online DRM, digital distribution (though PC also has this problem), and other modern gaming bullshit (though the Switch doesn’t appear to be as bad as the PS5 or Xbox whatever the fuck it’s called now).
- At some point i’ll probably create a page on this site of some interesting, non-cancerous websites. I’ll probably make two separate pages: one for clearnet websites, and one for Tor/I2P.
That’s about all I have to say for now.
