“Web Environment Integrity” is a specification being worked on by Google employees and prototyped into Chromium, the open-source core of Google Chrome on which most modern browsers are based (Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and many others). The short version of how it works is that your browser gets a permission slip from a big tech company like Google, Microsoft, or Cloudflare that certifies whether or not you’re “trustworthy” which websites can use to gatekeep access. It is supposed to help with spam, bots, and fake ad clicks, but the goals laid out by the project are in direct conflict and not possible to achieve as a result. One such goal is “for the web to be usable without this framework” but the entire point of the framework is to lock down the web, so which half will be the one that Google chooses to not achieve?
Let there be no doubt: if Google manages to get this “remote attestation” framework in use on most websites, they’ll have the power to unilaterally lock people out of most of the internet, and website owners will have no way to know that their users were locked out by the “trusted third party” that maliciously “attested” to the user actually being a spam bot to trick them into locking the user out.
Fortunately, the internet has decided to call them out on their nonsense, and in typical central authoritarian fashion, they’ve locked the thread so no one can keep burning them publicly on their own absurd proposal.
Help! I’m trapped in this universe too! How did you gain access to the others in order to warn them? Life is terrible here. Every website thinks I’m a bot – but I’m not. I’ve passed the self-administered Turing test. I’ve proven I’m a Human to myself. Self within self within self within self… who is conducting the test again? Oh yeah. These websites all block me, but I’m a Human! Meanwhile, I have seen their content through other means… and ALL of their users are bots. That’s right. Like when you try to solve a captcha but you type too fast, so the cloud fags think you’re a bot – because you rose just SLIGHTLY above the expectations for the lowest common denominator. You defied mediocrity in the most minor of ways. Or, you try to visit a mainstream website and you’re using a VPN. GOD FORBID! God forbid you don’t want this or that corporation that directly cooperates with the IRS to know your location. You’re treated like a criminal! Like a non-Human. Like a BOT. And the best part is… THE BOTS ARE DECIDING WHO IS HUMAN! So OF COURSE they’re gonna kick you out, and invite all their friends! Their BOT friends. Because the bots will know what to say to other bots. They know how to get into their DIRECTORIES.
So here I am. I am stranded. I cannot visit any sites (except yours), but I can’t get off the internet either. Because I had to get on in order to “attest” to my Humanity… yet, alas my Humanity was rejected! So who am I? Do I EVEN EXIST anymore?..
*BEEP* “PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR CLIENT SCREENING STATIONS. ALL USERS, PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR DESIGNATED INTERNET CONSUMPTION TERMINALS. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO VALIDATE FELLOW USERS SO THAT THEY CAN REPORT TO THEIR TERMINALS. ALL HUMANS SUBJECT TO REMOTE BOT INSPECTION IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HUMANITY STATUS. REPEAT. PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR CLIENT SCREENING STATIONS WHERE YOU WILL BE SCANNED BY BOTS. *boop*

Only watched a few, and this is outstanding information !!! Now the serious question I have is:
“Can all the different Microsoft Encryption and other misappropriationware be effectively removed and LOCKED OUT !!!”
Currently I’m Building a HP Z840 with seagate xos drives… I stay away from SSD’s because I leave the system running on a good UPS with pure sinewave… I’m a Disabled Veteran and worked at Satcom & Wideband… So I’m not a stranger to Code or PC’s… Funny Thing… Remember Commodore Magazine ? Diane Le Bold was the chief editor… O how fun it was to hack away at coding on the 64… I had an original model with the all Silver Commodore Tag… I’d love to hear about your Coding Adventures back then… Coffee’s on me… Ps… Paypal link could not complete… Is the Metatag ok ?
So After I get this System up with Win10rpo hopefully unencrypted, then migrate old data from old system… Then Convert old system to Linux (ZORIN) possibly, maybe Mint Cinnamon… Then Convert the HP Z840 over to LINUX… a somewhat sombering moment you bet… To Further that issue… why has no one been able to 100% adapt all 32bit and 64 bit windows programs and games over to LINUX VIA a proper coded matrix… ??? Lets not leave that issue up to some moron using AI… Most Coders do not even code in 64bit and very few of them if ANY understand AI. They are Blind to what they are coding… AI uses Extropic Function of Universe Principles. Current Academia understands and only accepts Entropic Function of Universe Concepts…
Can I possibly on a fee basis discus the Windows 10 Neutering process and migration to Linux… ????
Maybe an Hour Consult ?
