Enalys :enalys:Guess people in the U.S (and maybe elsewhere) will have to find a way to exchange digital files without internet if things continues this way.I mean, micro-SD are cheap, can store a lot of stuff and very small and light, so, easy to exchange and hide in a snail mail.EDIT: And some Pirateboxes! I forgotted them!<a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/Piracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Piracy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/SneakerNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SneakerNet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/IPoAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPoAC</a>

ℒӱḏɩę :blahaj:I think it's time to bring back <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/SneakerNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SneakerNet</a>. It's a lot easier and faster to mail or carry a 22TB hard drive elsewhere than to transmit it over the Internet.

Load 'em up with queer friendly materials, or make one for the kids with lots of good educational books and movies so that they can learn beyond what schools teach, especially if they're in a district with heavy restrictions on learning materials!Taking back the means of distribution!

Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonIt's heartbreaking if i think about all of it too much, but I'm attempting to utilize the Fediverse to organize and network in case the resistance becomes more literal than figurative.
