Is it #weird I don't like the #fact that I turned 30 a couple years back?

Does anyone have #midlife #crisis #points in their lives anymore?

I still don't #feel I'm over 25.

I #think #age is just a number but the more I'm #forced to prove I'm over 18, the less I feel like I am #confident with the age #bracket I fit into.

And it's not because I would get #specialized #attention or because I don't. But because, I don't want to #remember looking back and #appreciating the #future that feels more #distant than ever now. Especially when considering that I didn't know back then I would have come to #exist as me today.

I #hate #government #reminding me how untrustworthy it thinks I am because of its #algorithmic priorities that are so far above and beyond mine, that it's laughable, totally absurd and absolutely #real sad to say.

I miss my 20 something #self really bad.

10 motivos para ver nuevamente a Death To All en Chile (2026) | vía #SonidosOcultos

The year is 2027. Email is #unreliable; little gets past #Gmail filters without a contract to receive your #email. #Governments don't stop it because (a) they have a contract, and (b) they don't understand how email works. Or worked.

#Tech companies finally realize that #SS7 is #insecure. Phone calls and texts can't be #trusted. Machine-learning-generated ("AI") audio and video means video and voice calls are doubly cursed - too many #FAANG executives have had embarrassing public #failures, falling #victim to the corporate equivalent of the grandparent #scam.

Few people use #TOTP, because the tech #companies don't promote it, they each call it something else and make it work differently, and they all want you to use their "app" rather than the standard 3-line script that can generate the correct code given a key and the current timestamp. The technically-minded try to educate their relatives and friends as part of the free-tech-support assumption, but no one cares.

#Account #recovery now involves waiting at home to sign for an envelope delivered by the lowest-cost (and therefore bribe-able) courier to the #registered home address of the account. Millions each year lose their email, #photos, videos, "purchased" digital #content, password vaults, etc because they've moved since they set up the account, or they have a P.O. box and companies don't believe those #exist.

The #internet is a vast digital #wasteland - wait, a saviour onstage: "Walled Garden-Net!".

Burn it.
