I don’t even mean the USA, loads of EU countries, Australia, etc.

You think it’ll be the bad example other countries learn from, but loads of other countries are already following suit.

The government can decree that ISPs have to block the IP addresses of known VPN endpoints. That’s perfectly possible. They did something similar with piracy sites before (e.g. if you go visit piratebay on virgin media you’ll get an error page). It’s a game of cat-and-mouse because if it’s done with DNS then aliases pop up immediately, and if it’s by IP then other proxies pop up, but the fact is they could make is so difficult for average users that people give up.

The stupidest thing about this that I always go on about is that they’re saying the better scale is the one that goes from 0 to 100. i.e. metric. So why not use that for other measurements?

Repurposing words like that is underrated.

I thought Control was excellent, but the original Alan Wake was a bad joke.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 2 weeks ago:
2080S currently, though I’ve had others before, can’t wake up from standby with the power button or USB. On the other hand, once it’s in standby, it’ll turn itself back on after 30 minutes or so. The firmware on nvidia cards has always played badly though. I had an 8800 that I’d have to turn on several times each day before it would POST.

Standby with nvidia gpus is broken still, but everything external I’ve plugged into my system works first time.

- Comment on A sampling of the responses to a tweet about ICE shooting out a 21-year old's eye in Santa Ana. 3 weeks ago:
If I was on whatever that site is, it’d be a handy list of people to block.
- Comment on 2nd page, etc. loading slowly 3 weeks ago:
Just discovered this thread, but yes. It’s been this way for quite a while (weeks at least) and I’ve seen other people mention it from time to time.

oh that’s a great feature
- Comment on we need more users 3 weeks ago:
Pruning is a bad idea imo. Old communities here (like on reddit) can be great resources for solutions to technical problems, for example. And weird one-off communities that have like 2 memes from a decade ago can be really funny when you get linked to them.
Perhaps a notification-type nag, a tab of “communities you used to use but haven’t posted to for a while” but with a snappier title, alongside “local” and “all”.

Gotcha, thanks.

I’ve seen people mention it elsewhere in this thread. But what is MBA? I get nothing relevant when I search for it.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t know Microsoft 365 and Office 365 were different things. From the outside, it’s as opaque as Apple’s version names.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 4 weeks ago:
Free private repos were always available on Bitbucket (for example) before that though. The things added by Microsoft were all catch-up.

Remember how many things got the name Exchange or Outlook back in the day?
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 4 weeks ago:
UKian here to lecture you on how nuts you are: I’m sure there are cases like yours, where you will retreat from a situation because you have a deadly weapon hidden on you. I’ve known people who carried weapons and who would generally try to avoid danger. But I’m 100% positive that’s not the norm, and most people who feel the need to have a gun would react less predictably. I’ve not lived in the US, but the impression I get from media is that there are a lot of gun owners who haven’t trained with them or who are “muh freedoms” idiots.

Yeah, Plex wins there - lifetime subs for Jellyfin never seem to be on sale.
- Comment on Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers 2 months ago:
So they keep enough for the pre-builds, and if there’s no stock over, mark them as “sold out” on the shop. That’s how everyone else does it.

29 months is “as much as possible”? My phone is from 2016 and it works fine!
- Comment on Bossware rises as employers keep closer tabs on remote staff 2 months ago:
Time to create a new anti-bossware product, and call it Worker. Maybe it could be peer-to-peer to help propagate newly identified Bossware signatures. Some kind of worker’s collective as it were.
