I’m sureAI will hit Linux one day . A lot of the toolset for building LLM’s works out of the box. I’ve used Linux for years.

I suspect if AI gets to distros your have 3 sorts of people :

1. Privacy aware and dislike the idea entirely

2. Those that embrace it but only with open weight open source models.

3. Those that use any AI models as long as it’s not too invasive .

I’m probably a solid 1.5

I was expecting this to read “The UK bans WhatsApp”

Perhaps a meshtastic delivered list of tor bridges or a wireless p2p internet . Digital dead drops

We need to build a decentralised internet quickly using I2P or something similar and scale and decentralise quickly. VPN’s will be the first to go then TOR after they attempt to control the exit nodes .

We need to show the governments that we are allowed to use encryption and Wikipedia and not be treated as criminals for wanting privacy .

Light grey on pink is difficult to read , make the site accessible to blind too or partially sighted . Accessibility is important if we want to spread the word.

I’ve seen a few YouTube videos suggesting to follow the money. It suggests a lot of political lobbyists value a more restricted internet as they stand to profit . Interesting you mention the Catholic Church because someone else suggested these new laws will push children to more unregulated places further putting them at risk.

Only for UK but I’ve just seen the EU version

I then suggest we build a public list of MP’s that agree with us and those that don’t .

We don’t have to just contact our local MP’s we could contact other political parties and their leaders with a little rewording of the above.

And the steampunk guys to keep them on their toes haha

I don’t know. I’ve not used I2P before but I heard it was a decentralised internet just on a smaller scale like a WAN

Those LoRa devices like meshtastic look good. I don’t like the idea of TOR and I2C because it’s known to hold disgusting and concerning stuff. But the original principles of the internet and a Cipherpunk approach is on the way .

Yeah but who controls the on ramps for crypto, KYC is everywhere

I know you aren’t saying this. But it’s not just porn that’s the issue. It’s the wider scope this act encompasses and a trend other govs could follow. I use porn sure , but imagine your facial and sexual preferences leaking. What if you come from a religious family and you’re a lesbian and pitted by this?

With a payment method from outside the UK? Or crypto where most companies have KYC ?

Sure but someone hosts these services . I can make a VPN right now and the service is paid by my debit card.

The normies are mad . I use Arch BTW.
