    If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr

    If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can’t kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.

    Honestly, back off. The more tech literate I get, the less tech I want in my life.

      This is exactly how I feel too! As a “cloud engineer” (even the titles are pointless) the last thing I want to do is to have anything to do with tech whatsoever, even if I like my job

        A simple Web-like hypertext system without styles and scripts. The protocol can be implemented in two days by a complete idiot (I have my own Gemini viewer, I may not be terribly proud of it, but I like it).

            Yes, but with modern technologies where easily done. TLS, markdown-like markup, MIME, prompts for input.

    The commercial web that I use that might require ID would be for payment processing etc. My bank knows how old I am. I can and will pay bills directly through my bank instead of using their portal. Or they can explain to me in writing why they don’t want to take my payment. Just about everything else is optional.

    I’ll avoid the ID demanding sites. Feels similar to how I never got into iPods because I didn’t like iTunes.

        I used file explorer.

        Much the same theme, I’m glad Calibre exists but I’d prefer to be able to copy files directly to my eReader.
