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

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 115 points 1 month 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 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

*the shareholders do not use said Internet, themselves.

[–] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Typical. Fuck it up for someone other than themselves.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

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…

[–] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Good thing I don't go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone.

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

[–] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

As well as unofficial "tourists".

TIL: Turns out ReptilianCleric is the only actual human left on the Internet. Beep boop bop

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Harambe was the focal point of turn of events.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

One internet, yes. But what about second internet?

We might need to create a new internet at this point
