I assume they only require people to verify, and they let the bots roam freely without any supervision or am I wrong and it will remove bots from Reddit?

I was being snarky as well, and not towards you.
In some circumstances I would actually stand behind user verification on Reddit/Reddit-like forum.
If that meant:
no bots, if you can really be sure that a user is a real person,
real freedom of speech, with real consequences for real people that abuse it (perma ban doesn't mean much if you can just create a new account).
no flood of low quality AI content.
elimination of troll farms and institutional propaganda accounts...
But knowing current corporations, I am sure, the control applies only to us insignificant people, organized farms will keep on flooding, maybe some of them will have to pay to Reddit (those who didn't already).

U.S. threatens Europe with ‘devastating’ retaliation if EU restricts SpaceX’s access to European market — Meduza

someone would cut access to the internet
You cannot cut access to the internet to the entire continent. It's decentralised. You could cut access to AWS, Google cloud and Azure and several other US services. That would: 1. Immensely cripple all websites and services using it but would also cost those corporations a lot of income, would destroy their position on the market, European and Asian alternatives exist. It would be difficult but European and mostly Chinese providers would benefit in the long term.
They can also cut access to Facebook, Xitter and Instagram. Please do that.

What software does not exist but you wish it did?
Community driven search engine. Where everyone can upvote/downvote/tag or even comment on page or service, to filter out garbage services and help increase visibility of valuable sites.
That would probably require being logged in and verified as a real, unique person, otherwise bots would make it garbage really fast.

It's like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public... No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.

EU browser choice rules send millions more users Firefox's way

It's laziness. Most people just take the path of the least resistance.
Once you show them the screen, any choice is the same amount of work so they will select what they really want. But without the screen, 90% of people will be good enough with the default option. Or, they might even be mildly uncomfortable with that option, but not enough to do something about it.

YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies
I am old enough and geek enough to be bothered by the use of the word "WiFi" instead of the Internet or just network.
It's only WiFi if you connect the wireless router at the end.
Edit: just noticed mention of the "antenna at the roof" on the page, but I still don't think it's WiFi, "WiFi" is a name of the technology that allows wireless access by multiple devices. I think it's rather radio communication between the router and the access point. They basically use radio waves instead of the cable, it was often used in rural areas in my country, where putting cables would be too expensive.

TIL that Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic The Gathering, is the great great grandson of President James Garfield.
Fun fact: none of them is related to Garfield the cat.
