  • Is this written by an alien?

In the beginning of the video she explains this isn't for everyone. Throughout the video she discusses tradeoffs. Seems pretty clear she understands the difficulty of this.

  • Do you not have family you call, or a job?

Once again, this was explained in the video. WiFi is everywhere these days and there are people who don't leave home often. These are simply tradeoffs some folks might be willing to make. It really depends on an individual level and cons of this approach were made clear in the video.

  • This is the stuff that makes the privacy community look like a joke

Good thing you don't speak for the entire community and this is just an opinion. This video details possibilities and can be fun to learn new things from. Seems oddly aggressive, to me, to say this over a simple video.

  • This is not realistic.

Speak for yourself. People lived without phones for many years. Doesn't seem too far fetched to live with WiFi only connectivity. Once again, tradeoffs.

Do you still have a link or copy of the movie? I already liked the original but this sounds better. I don't use reddit anymore so going there to contact the guy probably won't work.
