Guys, soon we will live in a digital concentration camp, where everyone will know about us, and our fate will be decided based on the collected data, when the world will continue to rot alive. Are you ready for this incredible adventure? Well, have you prepared your masks and learned to play the law-abiding citizen so as not to get caught? After all, it will be very easy to get caught, it will be enough to look at someone incorrectly once or criticize someone, for example, the government.

If anything, I'm interested in what ideas you have on how to live in such an empty and rotting hell, since everything has already been decided for us a long time ago and the plan is being implemented. Well, on the other hand, what could you expect in a world where the strongest survives? I think such an outcome was obvious from the very beginning. I think you yourself have already realized that the alternatives are rather a blatant and sweet lie. The only question remains: how to survive and remain human until the very end in a world where even the soul has no value?

I am already gradually recovering from the deep depression that I will never again be able to realize what I have always dreamed of and I want to hear your sincere opinion so that I no longer have false hopes because the road to hell seems pleasant and is similar to heaven, and the road to heaven seems like an unattainable dream and feels like hell.

There is no point in warning anyone anymore, it is useless, people either believe in convenient lies like: "I will cope somehow, it worked before!", or are tired of life and are simply looking for consolation in at least something, and only a very small percentage of people accept the truth and either resist to the last, or leave this life, or simply escape from this concentration camp.

So yes, I would probably prefer to enjoy every free day until the last, soaking up the fresh air and chatting on various topics while I still can.

Dystopias are becoming reality, aren't they?

Well, hope is good, but now time is running out, I think now is the time to analyze and act decisively, even paranoidly, if we don’t want to be slaves.

Then be proactive. Dive into self hosting! You've already started, posting on Lemmy, and there's plenty to see based on whatever your interest are.

And I know most of lemmy doesn't want to hear this... but that includes the machine learning space. It's going to be in the future, so best start learning how to detach now.

Honestly, I think I'll have to get a Linux computer without internet and create on it for now. Well, the internet is likely to become a very dangerous place because of AI agents. I honestly thought about what to do because anonymous platforms can be sold under pressure and then it will start... Honestly, I came here to find someone to share my thoughts with and also to find support during these difficult times.

This is a topic I've heard, with many people downloading archives from the web as 'offline' knowledge preservation.

Well, yes, and they do it for a reason, you better download the most expensive one, so that it doesn't get lost. And keep it as a relic of truth, if you can say so.
