Oh, so dead internet is, in fact, the plan. Wonderful.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

The Internet is pretty fucked, we might as well just call it and go home. Oh wait

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 126 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but it happened a year earlier than planned!

Ahead of schedule you say? The shareholders will be thrilled!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

*the shareholders do not use said Internet, themselves.

[–] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 50 minutes ago

Typical. Fuck it up for someone other than themselves.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yup. Followed by the AI surveillance state. The Stasi has been digitized and never sleeps!

except now they get useless data because they now just datamine bots, who are datamining each other.

That’s what digital ID is for! To correlate the real humans activity. The Flock video surveillance can then be linked to your real world movements along with digital currency to track your buying habits! Your phone and wireless earbuds to listen for keywords a rat you out to the government! What a wonderful utopia!

Feeling free yet?

Well since everything is so affordable I’ll happily accept this police state…

You know, god bless the bots because they're probably soaking up at least some watts of surveillance.

It's not totally dead, as the Paris catacombs are not totally dead if there are a couple of tourists

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 8 hours ago

As well as unofficial "tourists".
