We need to find out why this is. Why have you not got a camera version?

 

[catalog]

Is it a political / philosophical stance? Or is it more pragmatic / prosaic reasons?

Bit annoyed that I missed the fun here the other day, but just wanted to add this one from the archives.

we'd never make a good far-right group would we, difficult to co-ordinate all the gangmembers.

I'm not interested in taking pictures of anything, plus the older phones without cameras etc are cheaper and more durable. Also, having a desktop as my only internet-browsing device means I can get away from it when I want to and don't have to feel like I'm always "connected".

 

[catalog]

so it's sort of pragmatic but also there is a spiritual/wellbeing reason as well

 

[version]

Yeah, also I'm wary of modern technology. I don't like anything "smart". I don't want a phone that collects masses of data on me, a fridge with an iPad in the front, an eReader where I don't own any of the books I buy and they can be removed at any time.

 

[catalog]

what about all the data you are leaving on dissensus though?

 

[version]

That does bother me, but evidently not enough to leave just yet.

this jenn ashworth book i was reading, she talks about various forums she's on and one of the things she says is how people regularly switch up their usernames (i guess like what starb did recently) so as to minimise the sense of a trail.

yeah me too but i'm the same, can't be arsed doing anything about it.

Why does it bother you? Do you think Sufi is going to round us all up one day?

 

[catalog]

there's a lot of incriminating information on here. you deleted loads of old posts didn't you?

 

[Corpsey]

If I was intent on achieving anything in life in the public eye I probably would start sweating at the thought of what I've posted on the internet - on here, but also on various other forums I've frequented over the years. Especially Stormfront. 😬

Good memory!
