@quercus @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder @LukeAlmighty A few years back I had a near-total Internet sabbatical and it was incredibly eye-opening. I'm glad I was overseas at the time because infrastructure was still legacy. I bought train tickets at ticket counters, I checked my back balance at ATMs when I took out cash, and social events were still posted at the town hall. Life was simple, but everyone I interacted with was >60y/o.
Now I'm back in the US, it's a lot harder to do things the analog way, but I want to do it. I've planned another personal Internet blackout for November to avoid election talk, but threads like these make me want to expedite that to include the rest of this month.
