- logicallee 12y agowow, so, this is what in my mind I was caricaturing. Offline living is basically incompatible with the knowledge available on the Internet, and what you mention are super unreasonable steps for normal users to take.
- nitrogen 12y agosuper unreasonable steps for normal users to take. Only because people have "forgotten" how to build offline apps.
- logicallee 12y agono, it really is super unreasonable.
- ce4 12y agoI disagree. I'm not a luddite. First, I didn't say that I use that exclusively. And furthermore: * it's nice to have knowledge at hand when offline (commuting via train, abroad w/o a local data plan, no gsm coverage, edge connection instead of 4G) * saves bandwidth for my 1GB/month data plan when appropriate * Aard dict can be used to evade filtering (not my primary concern, but there are people in other countries who might benefit)
