The Internet.
That’d remove the circuses from our bread and circuses… and some of us are out of bread
Just wait until Google implements Web Environment Integrity.
We should already be in the streets and we’re not.
While I can see the plus side of being able to identify bots, I don’t think the WEI is the right way to do it, and Google definitely isn’t the right company to be handling it
Plus how do you spot the difference between a good bot and a bad bot? Web crawlers from search engines are for example inherently good, so they should still be able to operate, but if it is easy to register a good bot in WEI, it is also easy to register a bad bot. If it is hard to register a good bot, then you’re effectively gatekeeping the automated part of the internet (something that actually might be Google’s intention).
A bot that only reads your website is good, one that posts things or otherwise changes your database less so.
I was thinking the same thing about Google wanting their bots to be the only ones allowed to crawl and index the internet.
Yeah, even if the hardware can validate perfectly that it’s not running any botting software, there’s nothing stopping someone from spinning up a farm of these machines and using a central server as a hypervisor for them all. It’s impossible to determine if your user is a bot.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
It’s impossible to determine if your user is a bot.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I just wish everyone would switch to Firefox.
It is because Chrome has a monopoly, is close enough to monopoly.
the internet is the first thing they shut down to control riots in authoritatian countries

but how are we supposed to organize gathering times and places to start rioting? on the paper?
Carrier pigeon.
Bridgefy
From their site:
‘Bridgefy is a free messaging app that works without the Internet. Perfect for natural disasters, large events, and at school!’
It works over Bluetooth, and lets you send messages to other users without needing an internet connection. I haven’t used it yet, but the app looks straightforward enough :)
That’s a very complex question that depends on many socioeconomic factors. But the answer is probably porn.
I’m gonna be honest. This is what I was looking for when I asked the question 😂
From my cold, dead, well-lubricated Hands!
Then we can just get rid of the rioters and solve several problems at the same time.
lol, first of all, gross.
second of all, there is enough porn to last any average coomer a lifetime.
I mean, agriculture seems like an obvious answer

Probably a lot of them. Definitely food distribution though.
The revolution is 3 meals away.
Yeah, exactly. Anything people can’t find an alternative for is bound to cause “creativity” when it disappears.
Shipping.
Food
Alcohol. First the casual drunks get pissy, then the serious drunks get sick.
water/wastewater. something people dont think about, just turn on the tap/flush the terlet.
peoples places of living would back up and they wouldnt have safe water to drink
Waste Management
When France extended retirement age, waste management stopped cold in solidarity with the protests and its overnight disappearance was supported by most of the population, so I don’t think that’s it.
Yes, but that’s because it motivated them to strike. That’s basically the less violent version of a riot.
Grocery stores, logistics (trucking/railway), electricity, petroleum, cocaine
Huh, cocaine? I think would be more chill without it wouldn’t they? And more aggressive etc without their heroin
Yeah, you’re right. Cocaine users would be crashing hard and not feel like rioting. I had been thinking of changing it to opiates.
Information Technology.
Not immediately. But imagine what would happen if the engineers of Google and the other data centers like AWS went down for more than 24h.
Forget 666. The world will end overnight if 8.8.8.8 stops responding to pings.
Depends if there is still 4.4.2.1
Not an industry, but if EBT/food stamps payments stopped there would definitely be riots. Not that aren’t already.
Healthcare
Then why isn’t America rioting?
Because it didn’t disappear overnight
Can’t riot against something being taken away if you never had it in the first place and have convinced yourself that you don’t need it 🫠
They should be. Really.
Maybe in a couple of days when Kaiser staff go on strike.
Because the healthcare industry is anything but gone
Non-US people have such an hilariously skewed view of the US healthcare system
I’m an American in my mid 30s. I’ve traveled to other countries, made friends with people in other countries, and I myself lived in Germany for a few years. I’m pretty sure my view comes from an adequately knowledgeable position.
Then why aren’t you rioting?
Toilet paper
