What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.

It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

If things keep going like this, she’ll only have customers among the 0.1%

If I as a customer pay, idk, 10€ per gb of RAM and an AI data center pays 20, do you really think they are going to consider how they are feeding a bubble that in the not-so-long term will burst and fuck them up too?

Nah, mate, they are capitalists, they only care about the money they can make in the extremely short term.

As I said in my first comment, I am not happy with it, but the other option is worse.

I am aware this is the lesser evil, hence “Go China”.

The fact that they already have a de-facto monopoly on consumer goods doesn’t mean I want them to have another one for other products.

I’m not happy with China getting this tech and potentially becoming a monopoly in consumer DRAM. But the other option right now is becoming a cloud slave for burgerlander billionaires that are actively fucking everyone in the world so what can I say?

This guy’s a hero! Go China!

China has a couple of years to figure out how to make RAM at decent prices.

They will manage somehow and will become leaders of the consumer market.

The bubble will burst and will fuck everyone involved.

China will by then have their RAM on every consumer device and these shitheads will all go: “omigosh! How this could happen? Nobody could have predicted this!”

Can confirm, friends there are extremely happy with how they are handling it. Seems everyone loves having half of the internet down whenever there’s a play beacuse they block cloudflare as a whole.

Let me explain you what are those fines for:

In Italy, soccer is so powerful that commands the government. They can legally block batches of IP adresses just because one of them could be streaming a soccer game.

It means if your IP is in the batch (even if you are innocent but just happens to share server with that pirate) you are cut from internet. No appeal, the IP is dead and your only choice is get a new one.

It’s so dumb that they even blocked google once because of it. Cloudshare is fighting that, and I can assure you everyone in Italy, except the usual assholes licking the politician boots are beyond pissed with the so called “piracy shield”.

Any valid alternative for android phones to firefox with same add-on support? These idiots look like they are speedrunning it to become a shitty company.

Next pandemic is gonna be a lot of fun to watch from the other side of the planet 🤦

My math teachers always told me that “math is not an opinion”.

I’d like to see them now defending that!

There is something fundamentally fucked up in a country that arrests and puts in jail a 13 years old kid over a bad joke.

Going against the parents is impopular and would make the parents vote against you in the next elections.

Age verification is a great success I see. I feel so much safer now with this shit in place so kids can’t watch porn…

What if the VPS’ start offering no-logs policies so it’s impossible to know anything about the traffic and encryption so they don’t even know whose that traffic?

This is gonna be an arms race and I don’t doubt of the stupidity of the politicians. The brexit showed us how dumb they can be.

Sure, but how do you confirm that I’m using it as a vpn and not as a real server to run my own apps (for example a cloud storage or a media server)?

Oh right, you just ban VPS as a whole too, because why not, right?

And next thing, since we are at it, we should ban encrypted traffic because who knows what are you doing with your encrypted communications! Fuck HTTPS! Think of the children!!!

And the worst thing is that I can completely see them doing it.

Absolutely not, of course. I’m just hoping they try to enforce this so a shitstorm of proportions only seen in the brexit will ensue.

One thing we must acknowledge to these idiots is how much effort they put on showing the world the consequences of extremely stupid acts so the rest don’t have to do it.

I work from office and i regularly use a vpn at work to connect remotely to devices that are not physically with me. Not to talk about companies that provide remote assistance and use them to connect to their customers devices.

Remote work is just a byproduct of vpns, but not the real reason why you use them at work.
