What a VM? What's a server OS? How do I log in? What the fuck does sudo apt mean? What is docker? Now I'm editing files? A peer? What's wireguard?

So many of you are disconnected from regular people because you're chronically online.

    what's a VPN? what's a VPN app? how do I log in? what the fuck does a tunnel mean?

    kids somehow figured these out. they'll be able to figure out their selfhosted VPN too. at least more of them might find an interest in tech instead of consuming on brainrot platforms.

    sunbeam didn't describe it very clearly but it can be described in a way that its just following instructions without even having to understand it. like something like this: "register here. click this to get a free cloud server. log in to the server like this. paste this command and hit enter. install this app on your phone. tap import and scan. point your phone to the qr code on the screen."

    You say this as if people are utterly incapable of learning.

    Anyone can learn anything of they’re given a good enough reason to want to learn.

    Sure, but if they need to learn, it isn't a 5 minute operation.

    I too can go to space in 10 minutes, if I already did all the training and get a space shuttle from NASA.

    It is a 5 minute operation to learn how to use a VPN.

    Many are, quite literally, just install and hit connect. Something an online tutorial can teach you in about a minute or two.

    Maybe a bit longer to learn the other things. But I can assure you from experience that this is something that anyone can learn about in a short amount of time.

    Bit of a far cry from the years of education and training needed to enter space.

    Yes plan law makers needs to have a clue on what they are making laws about. Teenagers looking for porn are going to learn.

    The same teenagers that don't even use computers with physical keyboards?

    I'd wager less than 1% of the minors affected by this will learn how to proxy through a VPS.

    So all this does is create a black market for tech. People with the knowledge of how to set up this technology will provide it as a service for those who don't.

    It's the same as trying to outright ban drugs. Those who can provide for those who cannot (for a fee).
