  1. Re:Suggestion to Iran: flip IPv4 on As Elections Approach, Iran Uses "Far More Advanced" Internet Censorship (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Even with such a system in place, there has to be a way to tunnel out. But the worst blockage is at the ISP. Without them, there is no internet. The internet needs to route around them.

  2. New and better circumvention tools are on the way, but even they can't through an ISP that cuts you off entirely. I hope wireless mesh can get around that problem eventually.

    These aren't "privacy laws". They are simple censorship. The information on Google is not private.

    Doesn't matter, it's still bogus, and it's censorship that must be circumvented. Without resistance, it can only get worse, and the disease will spread.

    Now's the time... Stuff like this make it pretty damn worthless. We need a simple indexer, not a censor emitting propaganda.

    oppose due to political risk.

    Yes, the risk is having an internet that can't be turn off, or censored. Control of content would be lost.

    "Centralised"

    If it's centralized, it's not mesh. Though it is good to see more development in this area. Once we can make it decentralized, we'll have an internet that nobody can turn off. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would be a great thing.

    Industries seeking cheap/free labor, indefinite copyright, and special protections from the state. They are the ones who wrote the bill.

    "The wicked and lazy master was the one who buried his talent in the ground and didn’t do anything to multiply it... That’s essentially what those who say we need to stop using oil, coal and natural gas are telling us to do. Just leave those resources buried in the ground, rather than pulling them out and multiplying their value for human benefit."

    I do, but as I become a tiny minority, long term stability in the programs I use will cease to exist for lack of demand. Eh, whatever, the throwaway society is dominating all facets. Indeed, you are more than welcome to it.

    I have seen the change logs, and in my opinion they reflect no improvement over the decades old all inclusive program that preceded it. And for those who remember, when it first came out Firefox was supposed to be lean and fast and *stripped of cruft*. It's not any of those things now. I don't know of any single browser right now that is not a 30+ megabyte download, and they all run about the same speed. I see no disadvantage of sticking with something a bit more familiar that I can run for years without having to think about "upgrades". And when I do upgrade, at least it still has the same familiar face from last century, hasn't aged a bit.
