Maybe worlds can just live without the internet for a few hours.
There are likely emergency services dependent on Cloudflare at this point, so I’m only semi serious.
- locknitpicker 11mo ago> Maybe worlds can just live without the internet for a few hours. The world can also live a few hours without sewers, water supply, food, cars, air travel, etc. But "can" and "should" are different words.
- p-e-w 11mo agoThe world dismantled landlines, phone booths, mail order catalogues, fax machines, tens of millions of storefronts, government offices, and entire industries in favor of the Internet. So at this point no, the world can most definitely not “just live without the Internet”. And emergency services aren’t the only important thing that exists to the extent that anything else can just be handwaved away.
- 1718627440 11mo agoIn my opinion, the world actually should be able to live without the internet, but that's another matter.
- shermantanktop 11mo agoThat’s what I was getting at. There’s a lot of life that can be lived offline.
