Invisible Internet project is the gateway & first step to a freer internet: https://i2p.net/en/

By the way, you can create a fancy website on the darknet without any form of identification. There's no censorship as well.

im out of the loop what happened

Hey greyvenz, nothing in particular happened in neocities. It is perfectly fine here; however, I'm experiencing FOMO(fear of missing out) about nekoweb because about 10 users from neocities decided to jump ship all of a sudden within the past month.

In practice, this is harmless until a program asks SystemD for the age attestation information, but this is a terrible precedent and a very good sign to start looking at alternatives without SystemD. Check this out: https://nosystemd.org/

Hey venus-territory, as of right now, the change in the userdb birthDate field is a nothing burger; however, this change in the configuration file is an indication of its trajectory, which is anti-privacy. I'm speculating that there will be incremental implementations to systemD that will eventually become "Age Verification".

The best apologue for what is happening with systemD is the boiling frog. The frog doesn't notice the gradual changes of water temperature until it is too late. If linux users keep ignoring the incremental problems of systemD, then they will have to face significant consequences over time.

Totally. Things will get bad as soon as programs start depending on reading that value to work. What if they break if the field is missing? And everything gets more creepy when you realize that the PR author works at a scamming company (check his site out) and that the people who merged it, work at Microsoft. All part of someone's plan :(

Hey venus-territory, isn't it obvious that an agenda is being rolled out? Many will label us "tin-foil hats" or conspiracy theorists, but the writing is on the wall. We are well aware of what they are pushing. The only thing we can do is expose them, and prepare for what is coming. It is best to find alternatives, or even create our own systems. That's what I like about linux because of its decentralized nature.

To anyone reading this, remember to contact your represantatives to change the laws! In Colorado, FOSS might be exempt from this thanks to System76's hard work

Hey venus-territory, it is quite noble/dutiful to contact a state/country representative to reject the bill before it becomes a law; however, this is a temporary solution. As you already know, Mark "the Suck" Zuckerberg and his META .pdf gang have infinite bags of money to sneakily push deceptive bills. These bills are usually hidden under legalese that are not understood by the average citizen.

Basically, you'll be playing "wack a mole" for years, if not decades, fighting endless amounts of bills. My previous post is meant for non-partisan individuals who are out-numbered in their state or country, and are seeking for alternative solutions to unconstitutional laws. Behind closed doors, there's always a conniving politician that is bribed by the highest bidder when bad laws are passed.

Another solution: Buy a "dumb phone". Throw away "smart phone".

Oh for sure. Even their own audits have proven that much. At first, it was a means to keep viewers "engaged" with the site so that there would be an increase in ad revenue. Suddenly, it became a means to control the narrative. Funny thing is that Ender's Game foreshadowed this decades ago.

Hey jrost-london, you hit the nail on the head. Hilariously, Ender's Game can be categorized as a documentary instead of science fiction. Also, there are aspects of a movie from 1983 called WarGame that can describe what is currently happening within social media platforms.
