I read from another comment somewhere that the law or whatever said that they should not promote a VPN, not that they could not promote a VPN. Those are two totally different words.

However, your way is probably safer and not reliant on language.

That’s quite frankly impressive. 3D printing is getting really really interesting as time goes on.

I am willing to completely ditch YouTube and not access it, but there are a couple of channels that just aren’t anywhere else that I do enjoy watching.

Currently, I use RSS feeds in order to stay up to date with their videos, and I use new pipe to actually watch the videos, but still, it’s annoying. I would like to stop using them and cannot. I feel as though I’m being held hostage.

As far as Wikipedia specifically goes, I made this comment on a different post that seemed to get some pretty nice engagement. I based this comment off of the SOPA and PIPA stuff from the US when i was in highschool.

Here’s one way to fix this that might even overturn the law. Turn off Wikipedia in the UK. Put a big banner up on the homepage that says, we have turned off Wikipedia in your country because of your government. Here’s how to use a VPN to access our content.

Edit: Make it apologetic and conciliatory. Like, we’re sorry, we’ve had to disable Wikipedia in your region because of your government’s draconian policies. If you would like to visit our content, please use a VPN. If you need help learning to use a VPN and then link to a here’s how page

I said absolutely nothing about government subsidies, and in another comment, further down the thread, I even said that if a company gets government subsidies to do so, and does not do so, they should be made to pay the money back with interest.

Yeah, you do make a good point there. I’ve seen that happen. Where a company takes money and doesnt do it. Those companies should be made to repay the money with interest for not doing what they said they would. But I’ve also seen companies that actually do the job and get high-speed internet out to those who wouldn’t have otherwise had it. So I think it really just depends on the company.

The two companies I’m thinking of right off the top of my head are AT&T and T-Mobile. AT&T took money to roll out broadband and never did so, and T-Mobile merged with Sprint, and said they would roll out high-speed broadband to very rural areas, and actually did do it, and I ended up benefiting from T-Mobile’s home internet rollout.

I lived in a pretty rural area for a while that had 10 MBPS wired internet or satellite and then T-Mobile came around and with their home internet you could get 70 MBPS so that was a no-brainer

Yeah, probably not. If your country is the size of a postage stamp, it doesn’t take a whole lot of capital investment to run fiber through the entire thing. Whereas if your country is the size of the United States, it takes a fuck ton of capital investment to cover even a decent portion of it by laying lines like that.

That is possible. I was basing my comment on some information from an FCC report that said that there was no place in the continental United States that was not able to be covered by Starlink.

There was this program called Bead that was going to prioritize places with no internet access whatsoever or dial up for the first people to get funding, and they say they found that there wasn’t any, so they had to go for the next thing which was slow internet.

Not anymore. Now the cell phone company just puts up a tower and runs one fiber line to it and everybody has high speed internet or a rich billionaire launches some satellites into space on his rockets.

Laying one fiber line to a cell phone tower is much cheaper than laying a bunch of fiber lines to each individual household.

To be honest, I’m surprised it lasted this long.

Because hardcore graphene OS users would not have any data on Google’s clouds because they know the danger of having cloud data and would not accept it.

Hell, I don’t even have a Google account and haven’t for several years.

Discord is bad because it’s centralized. So I would recommend something like simpleX, which protects your privacy. If your friends don’t want to use it, then you need better friends because they should understand that you care about yours and their privacy.

As for real-time calling, that uses UDP, which is why something like Tor can’t do it, since it’s a TCP-only network, so either you need to find something that will let calls work over TCP, or give up on the idea of real-time calls and switch to voice messages, which can do over TCP.

Only the enlightened will move to Tor. The unwashed masses will just suck the dick as normal.

Shocked I tell ya. /s

I’ve not played with it and don’t know much about it, but maybe the pinetime?

Hey, thanks for finding that.

You need to return that phone ASAP and get something that will let you install a custom ROM on it, like a Pixel or a OnePlus.

Edit: shitsung just recently sent out an update that finally kills off bootloader unlocking for all shitsung devices. Us Americans haven’t been able to do it for quite a long time, but Europe and Asia could, and now they no longer can. So shitsung is absolutely not a brand to be using at all.
