I mean, I guess you could go physically confiscate their computer. But otherwise, how? Once you've downloaded and installed the model, the runtime and the harness, you've got a complete system you can run locally with no need for it to ever connect to the Internet again.

    I download everything, I just may not ultimately keep it long-term if it turns out to be uninteresting or bad. Streaming and downloading transfer the same amount of bits, one just has higher demands for timeliness.

    It's not a case of the people "letting" him destroy your country. The people wanted him to. Maybe not all the specific details of how he's doing it, but the previous election was largely a choice between "status quo" and "break the system" and break the system won. For some reason few of those voters seemed to be aware of how well the system was serving them, it appears they may have been misled. But that's democracy for you.
