  • Tax land in particular. Can't hide land easily from tax office.

  • Definitely proof reading. Especially for people who can barely write intelligibly. They can check themselves if the meaning is still correct and they will learn grammar from the process.

  • They are not banning the Fediverse because there is no central body to fine.

  • If the website owners do it, then ????

    I bet you most of them won't

    I already know a heap of VPN servers I can't access youtube or reddit from.

    IP addresses change. Your VPN server will change them (if it is any good).

  • No they won't be.

    Firstly it is technically impossible. Even China cannot do it.

    Secondly, businesses need them for WFH.

    Thirdly, the government is not implementing a block themselves. They are trying to pass on the unreasonable onus onto website owners.

  • And yet you norny seem to like B-52's who were inspired by Yoko.

    They were not hacks.

  • You don't get it because you probably are not an artist yourself. Maybe humble yourself and accept it from the artists rather than be "sad". Am sure there is plenty which you know about more than they do.

    I don't get Miles Davis' Bitch's Brew or Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask but am not going to disparage them. Musicians more advanced than me say it is awesome so I merely respect that. I don't have to listen to the albums every afternoon until I get it

  • It was only at that point that I realised it was satire.

  • Fun fact: Interlude in B-52's Rock Lobster was inspired by Yoko Ono.

    Which in turn inspired Lennon to resume recording with Yoko.

    Interesting that people on social media with a clichéd taste in music feel the need to punch down on creative artists who nevertheless end up influencing mainstream music decades later.

  • Fuck this. Enough spam as it is. Tie every fucking line on the planet to an id.

    Phreeli won’t, at least, offer a platform for spammers and robocallers, Merrill says. Even without knowing users’ identities, he says the company will block that kind of bad behavior by limiting how many calls and texts users are allowed, and banning users who appear to be gaming the system. “If people think this is going to be a safe haven for abusing the phone network, that’s not going to work,” Merrill says.

  • Yes because if someone installs the Facebook app they have had their phone contacts list slurped. They then build a map of our circles of friends.

  • I got flagged on Facebook for using an obviously fake name. So I changed to a more plausible sounding name and it worked. I had prepared a doctored passport scan but it wasn't necessary.

    For another FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn't bother. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.

    They know that they can't push too hard.

  • I don't know what a software "stack" is but government can packet sniff to see if that kind of software is used but the vendors in this cat and mouse game apparently can sometimes fool the packet sniffers.

    China cannot block all VPN's so it is looking good for us geeks. However we need to educate the masses.

  • I had my Internet crippled in China in 2012 after I used Hamachi to log into my home computer in Australia.

    The crippling got worse if I repeated my action eventually disabling the internet completely for about an hour.

    I played this game a few times to pick up on the pattern.
