Em :official_verified:@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange (2026-09-04 01:28:43) What tool, device, or software that you used a lot, but then disappeared from your life (or from the world), do you miss the most? :dragon_heart:

Em :official_verified:@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange (2026-09-04 01:12:26) I want the internet to be:

:neocat_aww: Cat content

📚 RSS feeds written by humans

:mastodon: Mastodon and Fediverse connections

:ablobcatpopcorn: Educational videos running on PeerTube

:opensource: Free, open-source, privacy-by-default, and AI-free software made with love

📖 And unionized Wikipedia

Em :official_verified:@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange (2026-08-24 01:55:11) If you live outside of the United States,
do you know if your country has a plan if the US government decided to cut access to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon products overnight?

What would happen to your work?

What would happen to your hospitals?

What would happen to your emergency services?

What would happen to your banks?

Imagine overnight, for all those public services and private businesses, no more Windows, no more AWS, no more Google and Microsoft office software, no more remote files storage, no more emails, no more online maps, no more videochats.

What would happen?
Is your country prepared?
