I thought all of this should have been clear in the first post, but I guess it wasn't.
The problem is not using the Internet, but being expected to use it for things where there isn't a clear domain requirement for it.
The immorality I describe is on the part of the entity expecting Internet usage, not the user.
The issue is that I paid money for my hardware to own it outright, and this expectation makes it feel like I no longer actually fully own that hardware.
You mean you don’t see a clear use to use the internet to access the worlds knowledge that is processed by a cluster of super computers is not something you should need? Should we all have our own data center in our homes?
I also bought my phone, but I still need a global network to make it usable
> You mean you don’t see a clear use to use
This still has nothing to do with a point of view that I have already clearly laid out multiple times.
So exactly what is your moral point about not using the “computer you bought” along with the internet to augment it like it still the mid 90s?
You don’t want a “dev environment dependent on the internet”, exactly what are you going to do with your code without the internet? Just keep it on your computer?
