The world is going to shit... also, I am asking out of pure curiosity - how does DPI interact with encryption where you live? Is encryption just plain illegal or what?
Yeah, I didn't know about that, that sounds terrifying. At least I was still right in saying that they cannot block VPNs completely - you can still send traffic through HTTPS or DNS requests, but it is just too slow for most applications, however definitely enough to be able to communicate with other people in times of censorship. Based on my research Russia is also experimenting with CIDR whitelisting, which is even worse but does have the huge drawback of basically breaking the internet except for a few large sites.
You also can avoid all of these disruptions by camouflaging your packets as some generic protocol, which is already quite easy e.g. in Mullvad by using shadowsocks and ai disruption (randomising, among others, packet size and intervals). In fact, it will always be impossible to detect VPNs without deep packet inspection - and that would require banning ALL internet traffic encryption, which seems unrealistic because of the astronomical downsides, even in today's political situation.
Thankfully, AI is bad at maths for exactly this reason. You don't have to be an expert on a very specific topic to be able to verify a proof and - spoiler alert - most of the proofs ChatGPT 5 has given me are plain incorrect, despite OpenSlop's claims that it is vastly superior to previous models.
Can confirm, in fact there is a reasonable probability that you won't be able to setup the shitty official NVIDIA drivers and the new card will run slower than the old one :(
I mean, that's how I have been using it for the past 3 years, in fact I feel more sleepy after taking melatonin than after taking benzos - but that's just probably me.
Cookies are just files stored on your computer. You just need to forbid the site from saving anything - done (all major browsers support this in some form).
Yeah, but then you can just share them with anyone. In this case, privacy always contradicts effectiveness, and that is why we need to fight the whole idea of age verification altogether.
Meh, you are probably right, but I personally have been banned 3 times from Facebook and by using a VPN and private tabs I still have an active account.
USB killer would be a fun thing to bring to the US and have it searched despite your claims that it is not a flash drive
