Gosh I miss my Zire 72.

> Giving up a little privacy to stop thousands of murders of innocents is a trade-off im willing to make.

That's disgusting.

I wonder how soon someone will leave a comment here saying something like, “Aaactually, this isn’t censorship.”

> I vehemently opposed it at the time, on principle, and got downvoted to heck for it.

Thank you.

The Hacker News community didn’t see any problem at all in 2022 when NameCheap massively revoked the registrations of everyone with Russian passports. Everyone fervently supported this initiative, I remember it clearly. But for some reason, when NameCheap started revoking their own registrations (take this post as an example), they’re unhappy. What a paradox. Who could have imagined that NameCheap could do that to the people who did not deserve it!

Don't you say. You don't even know what was that horrible treatment exactly - didn't even ask, why would you, right? - but you've promptly explained to the guy that it was his fucking fault - he's from the sanctioned country after all, he should know his place and be quiet. You guys are just adorable, aren't you?

There’s always someone willing to explain how sanctions work to those who are subject to them. Thank you for your work, sir. What would we do without you.

Sad. I actually have a storage box from Hetzner, let me open a test ticket to see how fast they react.

Have you ever contacted their support? I'm thinking about switching to Hetzner.

And why exactly is that the case? Why should I prioritize morality and empathy over my own well-being?

And that changes things how exactly? The problem is that American companies have been stealing our data for decades, not their ties to the government.

Such is the reality as we perceive it through our senses. Everyone has to put up with certain corrupt practices in order to preserve their sanity and resources, such as time and money.

Can I run HomeAssistant in Kiosk mode on this thing? The only use case I can think of.

Well, there's really no need to come up with such complicated (and not entirely accurate) analogies here. It's actually very simple. Paying Google is bad. Not paying is good. That's it.

> a*hole

Asshole.

It must be hard to be you. There are so many racists around.

Oh, my, indeed! That's gonna traumatize the poor dude for life.

But this isn't perceived as emphasis at all. If I wanted to emphasize something, I'd be more likely to use something like *bitch* or something along those lines. Replacing a letter with an asterisk comes across as self-censorship, which is pretty silly - just use a different word if you're that uncomfortable with swearing.

You're just mixing up completely different things and thinking you're saying something meaningful. In reality, you're just confusing yourself and those around you.

> Layer-3 only

huh? 1.2.3.0/23 is a valid host address, it doesn't have to be Layer-3 only or whatever. it's just basic subnetting.

Too late for that!

E.g. Netflix doesn't let you to stream 4k video in browser afaik. So no, it's not a good option.

I don't think we can do anything substantial. So I'm going to just use this "suboptimal" solution.

Use Apple TV for that.

Oh you don't say )

Lol even after 6 days you haven't posted any supporting information, so who's misinforming here? :)

That's also a sign of mental laziness.

The purpose of reading is to challenge your mind, literally the cognitive load. If slang from 20 years ago is preventing you from reading a book, that’s a sign of mental laziness.

That's true. And that's exactly why we should blame Google's employees - they are the ones to blame for what's happening.

I don't disagree, but no one forces you to be a jerk. Don't act surprised when you receive a pushback for that.
