These are the same people who'll turn around and talk about Jewish space lasers starting forest fires. They don't give a shit about Israel, they give a shit about maintaining the facade of power and authoritarianism.

I imagine it's possible but it sounds like they're going after low hanging fruit like streaming sites and it also states that they can't prevent people from using VPNs to get around the blocking.

Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be "2-wheel drive").

With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it's impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There's too much idiotic "traditionalism" here in the US that's holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.

Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?

It's not EV credits it's "cap and trade" carbon credits that they're selling.

Don't forget about all the searches for #Democrats and the like mysteriously returning zero results.

Or you're a government with endless funds at your disposal.

How much are you paying for that if you don't mind my asking? I looked into seedboxes very briefly in the past and they typically didn't offer much storage. It was either lots of storage and little bandwidth or lots of bandwidth and little storage when looking at options to configure some sort of remote media server.

I thought that name was already taken by the chasm in between his ears.

Can you get around this by changing your DNS? I thought that's the primary way ISPs can control your traffic (though I only enough about this stuff to be dangerous)

They've made such a hard right turn it's insane. It's not just "super fiscally conservative ideals" but straight up propaganda at this point
