“Web Environment Integrity” is an attack on the free Internet
I read this stuff and I feel super cynic about it. I feel like "no way, not on my watch!", and then I realize that all I can do is sign a petition, or send an email to a representative that has zero fucking clue what this means... Same reason it does not matter to my zoomer brother its contemporaneous TikTokers.<p>People DO-NOT-GIVE-A-SHIT. Because there are bigger problems, like "what the fuck am I going to pay the rent with tomorrow", and more entertaining spectacles, like watching a person pretend it's an NPC for 5 hours straight and give them money for it.<p>And I feel a lot of the people I have worked with are the same type of individual, used to realizing they are getting screwed sideways, addicted to complaining, but only as long as it's among a very select group of individuals sharing common interests.<p>It's the most draining type of revolution. Nothing ever gets done, fucks are handed left and right: DNS, JS-fiasco, web neutrality, browserland... And we always just kick the buck and revisit the good 'ol days on another thread further down the line, once no other rights are left be destroyed...<p>And yet, what am I going to do? reject the PR?
