What I anticipate is that government services will start to appear less in people’s lives, very gradually. HOPEFULLY people start to get a bit more involved in their community. Probably, our urban environments will end up worse for wear. Cars will trend rarer and rarer, and hopefully we’ll have some kind of renaissance of automotive maintenance to keep the good vehicles working (spoken as a car hater). HOPEFULLY we will get over the taboo of calorically-expensive human-centric farming (makes sense for some specific, small scale stuff where its not just a soil science and fertilizer supply game). As an extension to that last one - fewer (but not NO) email and service jobs.
Saying all of that sounds kind of rosy or very positive - obviously, the collapse would be bad, there would be hunger, there would be violence… but there already is, I guess? The main point I guess I’m trying to make is that collapse is gradual and I think westerners have seen some of the baby steps.
As a younger person I was a big ‘big government’ and bureaucracy advocate, so this isn’t a libertarian wet dream or something, it’s just informed by the change I’ve seen personally and a bit of extrapolation and history.
Edit: Solved! I forgot I had accidentally opened a VPN app that was not yet configured and it had “always-on” enabled by default. Turned it off and everything worked fine again....
Eesh. Sorry. It doesn’t sound like a sim card problem if it is not saying there is a sim problem, so removing and readding your card probably wouldn’t help…
Mega obvious, hate to ask - restarting your phone doesn’t help?
I am holding out hope that its your carrier having an intermittent failure at a really inconvenient time.
EDIT: you said wifi isn’t working either. my bad
There are some relatively nuclear options under Settings > System > Reset options. I also wondered if maybe there’s something weird happening with power saving profiles. If the phone is plugged in and not on battery saving options that is probably not a concern.
Oh, another thing. I have had situations that could be described similarly. The problem in those cases was my browser just having a day. Please try different browsers or do a force stop.
In particular, I have had cursed Firefox tabs that are never able to load content, but closing all of them and starting a new session has fixed.
I am hoping one of these simple fixes will work, because I feel for ya.
edit: you mentioned Spotify and Discord which I am assuming are on apps, and not a web browser. :(
I am really, really relieved. I did not expect the shotgun approach to work, since I am not big on these OSes, but I’ve had enough of these problems myself.
Complete bullshit that the problem started after you dropped the phone, though.
as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:...
Productivity boosters like Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, and our handy Sidebar will help you stay organized no matter how many tabs you have open – whether it’s 7 or 7,500. Plus, our new Profile Management system will help keep your school, work, and personal browsing separate but easily accessible. Customizable new tab wallpapers that will let you choose from a diverse range of photography, colors, and abstract images that suits you most. Intuitive privacy settings that deliver all the power of our world-class anti-tracking technologies in a simplified, easy-to-understand way. More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models – i.e., more private – to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities. The alt text is then processed on your device and saved locally instead of cloud services, ensuring that enhancements like these are done with your privacy in mind.
Do we have an insight into how much of the writing Seinfeld accomplished in the post-David years? Like, they had a staff of writers, so I’m not sure if Seinfeld was the biggest voice at that time or if he was just being a star
I was hoping you would post your reaction to the content - but thank you for the directive. We will change the laws to make sure that you are safe.
I love you, my child. Goodnight, and sweet dreams. When you wake up tomorrow, it is my prayer that you see these lands in their Eden state; devoid of Hexbear posts, and full of lib Ws.
If society collapsed what is your best case scenario for what comes after?
You can come up with the details on the kind of collapse....
