Kinda sad to think about, the internet as we know it is sorta on life support. We’re like steps away from blending our personal life with our work life. Shit’s terrifying

I’m probably just talking consequences of enshitification. But it’s so wild that it’ll get worse agony-shivering

    I think the internet will be the least of our worries

    totally agree, and still sad about it - I will miss having humanity's knowledge at my fingertips

      I wonder how feasible it would be to backup the internet archive onto a laptop to keep for after the collapse. I know all of wikipedia (text only no images) is only like 40 gb.

      Edit: from the about page for internet archive:

      A single copy of the Internet Archive library collection occupies 145+ Petabytes of server space

      Guess we arent saving much of that :/

        the year is 2050, currently spelunking into old cities looking for hard drives with PDFs of pre-collapse human knowledge on them. Haven't found an unencrypted drive that would start in over a month.
