Who cares if nobody can work, the important is that those illegal streams are blocked

When is it supposed to kick in? Because it sure hasn’t been done yet.

Edit: Blatant misinformation

While the underlying court order was reversed many months ago, some Indians continue to have trouble accessing parts of the website.

the main problems of those blocking orders, worldwide, not only in india, is that while blocks are immediate and done with no supervision directly in the hands of the copyright trolls, unblocks are slow and need 100+ approvals

It’s exactly how reporting shithead users online is like.

You report a stupid asshole, takes a long ass time to be dealt with.

They report you - record time.

You can get someone banned on reddit easily if they say certain phrases. I banned a lot of conservative shitheels before they banned me, so I made another account.

Reddit’s admins are super touchy on violence. If someone says a thing on Reddit that sounds like they want to do violence to a person, even if it’s not a real person or they’re obviously joking, just report threatening violence for a free ban.

If only there existed a button to make that person completly disapear from you life entirly. Maybe we can call this button a block button. Hmm in reality i realy like that because it means that other people get to decide if they see an opinion i dont like. Best if we give me ultimate control to make anyone online i disagree with disapear that way ill never have to be offended ever again.

Its still blocked including newgrounds.com. I have to use VPN to play Geometry Dash because sound of custom level are hosted on newground.

Here a List of site which I can’t access without VPN

  • VLC Website
  • Raw Github URL
  • Newground
  • t.me : Telegram Links (but I can access telegram.dog and telegram.me)
  • ApkPure

The ONE thing I might have in common with the hexbear people is thinking China has the right ideas when it comes to copyright. Copyright and trademarks only serve to hinder innovation.

Git really should be married with bittorrent for large files. At the moment it’s GFS which requires large central storage, which doesn’t really fit with git. Should be maglinks.

Or IPFS. The issue in this context is that bittorrent would treat each version as a unique collection of files and you can’t combine seeding of redundant files. IPFS has much better means to handle updates.

Git LFS exists, not sure how it works technically, but it’s what the AI people use for AI model VCS.

So does using maglinks, it exists in git-annex. It’s just the torrent client is super crap. Great idea, poorly implemented.

Oh fun fact, Govt also issued an order stating that VPN providers who won’t log information of users, can’t function in India.

They understand exactly how it works. If you’re a VPN provider in india, you either keep logs, or you go to jail.

Bet they love Tor then…

Though maybe faster to have a VPS somewhere else. Maybe do a VPN from there.

They aren’t going to block ssh.
