I like internet and don't consider it against off-grid purism. I wouldn't live without internet. Even if purists didn't like it I don't care. I like what I like and do what I do.

i like central air, gasoline and the postal service too. maybe we should just live like in a semi-secluded rural part of maine still connected to civilization. you can have a good compound there and still mooosemaxx.

i would agree with you wholeheartedly except that local LLMs mostly obviate the need for the internet outside of communication needs, which could be done without an internet connection

"off grid" living is more about being disconnected from the system of society at large than it is about being disconnected from other people, imo. being connected to other people is really important no matter what kind of lifestyle you lead. no man is an island

it's a question of degree. like you could live without any electricity at all, to be truly "off grid." or without a vehicle. but you need gas for your generator, even if only occasionally used, and you need a vehicle for your gas, and you....

As a logged-in XO user, you embody an ethereal Internet persona

And that Internet persona cannot survive without Internet access

So you are right, but I think some users would be able to log off given the chance
