As if I werent depressed and furious enough already…
They only have to win once… We have to win every single time 😔
The sadest part of it, yeah…
Cant there be like a 5-10 year cooldown at least?
why the fuck not let us enjoy our victory?
Just like opt-in checkboxes that are automatically checked. It’s near the top of my hate list.
This is super awesome and all.
But I value computers and that doesnt fix anything related to computer, sadly
They are exercising their authority
Those fuckers are trying to censor the internet. Looks like they havent learned anything from pirate bay
Brother…
You know very well that internet will never be the same if they will restrict it and ruin it
I would like to see them try. If they try to force chat control onto European linux computers we can just get our OS updates from african or asian servers VPN traffic can be disguised. Even the Chinese have problem detecting and blocking it. SSH tunnels can replace VPN’s. SSH has plenty of legitimate uses.
Even if they somehow manage to seize total control of the internet (which is VERY unlikely) we could just switch to a completely different protocol like meshtastic
I know
But
We wouls be just ignoring their moves, and well… you know very well that countries like to follow each other and apply same or similar laws, right?
This is very sad as it restricts freedoms of potential moving, but the number of countries which we can SSH/VPN to and do whatever would be growing smaller and smaller
Yes. The fact that we have to go out of our way to prevent government espionage is infuriating
Being good is becoming illegal… increasingly more
Why not use software, that cannot be controlled by design? A zero trust, peer to peer network.
I think for short range communication there is Briar, which works with wifi, bluetooth, and I think optionally the tor network
You still can, but it will take over a decade to get it to the daily-drive usability level…
i2p, yggdrqsil, torrenting, ipfs
