  • I really hope providers tell the governments/companies to fuck off… Here in Spain, they started IP blocking Cloudflare IPs because of legal demands by a football association (LaLiga), to prevent people from watching matches via IPTV… And blocking a lot of legal sites in the process.

    I didn’t even notice until I tried to use Heroic Games Launcher last weekend and I couldn’t authenticate into EGS… turns out they block legendary.gl, so fuck me for trying to play Satisfactory. I couldn’t make it work offline with Heroic, and by the time I added it to Steam with its custom proton profile, moved the save files and started playing, I already had to go. Way to waste my evening.

    But hey! My server running a stack of arrs keeps working fine, and you can just use a VPN if you want to watch your football, so pirates are the least inconvenienced users :)))












  • Have you ever talked to kids? Do you think just explaining it will make them voluntarily not use their phones during class? I’m not opposed to talking to them about it, in fact I do think it’s good and necessary. But you can’t assume they are just going to stop using them.

    Why do we ban smoking indoors, if people already know it’s bad and it negatively affects the people around them? Well, because most people don’t care and do it anyways. And that’s adults.

    What parents and teachers should do is give kids alternatives on their free time, like toys, books, and making them socialize, so that they learn there is more to life than screens. But in class they should be learning, and I’m sure any teacher nowadays can tell you how bad phones are for kids’ attention.
