Finally, I’ll have decent teammates in Countrstrike 2.
It will be a dark day for piracy…
Luckily, libgen and sci hub are not based there
tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:
- propaganda
- scientific information
- funny cat videos
So I guess it’s not really a surprise that this is happening.
I was gonna say you forgot porno but then
scientific information
funny “cat” videos
cat as in pussy

You mean the clearnet and you put advertising under propaganda, which is fair, but advertising I feel is a distinctly heinous thing we could hate all on its own!
Tell me you use an ad blocker without telling me.

The worst (to me, anyway) part is that a LOT of pirate stuff will disappear if the russian internet gets gated
Usenet still exists.
Any good starting point or worthwhile server that can be recommended? I don’t mind paying, I’m paying more for the arr than for any of the subscriptions, I just dont want to have to deal with the media company bullshit anymore
I have been using Frugal and nzbGeek for years and have no complaints.
Gotta pay for access to any worthwhile server
True, but it’s super cheap. I pay less for a year of Usenet and indexer than I’d pay for 2 months of basic cable or just about any streaming service.
Meh, loads of other places
This sucks, I’ve met so many very cool and interesting Russian people. The internet is meant to connect people not box them in an echo chamber.
yeah, you met two cool russian people. Millions of older family members are being bombarded with propaganda from the rest of the russians that are less cool.
And disconnecting these people from the internet will help them how… exactly? Oh right you don’t care about them because they have different beliefs.
Oh right you don’t care about them because they have different beliefs.
Who are the “they” here?
EDIT : What are “their” beliefs?
That’s the Russian government. The Russian government will not cease cyber attacks. This is only to stop citizens being able to find information.
The amount Russians working in troll farms is nothing compared with the amount of good hearted decent Russian people and I’m saying this as a massive Ukraine war simp.
That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!
Noooo! My sports streams!
This is a sad day
So turning it into an intranet.
Yeah - and I’m Dolly Parton. Everything that Russian press puts out is lies. There are only two reasons why Russia isn’t an abandoned strip mall: Oil and the Internet.
Lol peace suckas
Xis puppet is learning another trick from its master
Big lan party But I’m sure there will be outside content somehow
Someone will be smuggling microfiche behind the iron curtain…wait wrong century.
I have a suspicion that they have a virus that they want to spread and protect themselves from
To the people thinking this means Russia will no longer be able to interfere with other countries over the internet: you are probably mistaken. Disinformation teams will still be connected to the internet. All this will mean is Russians having even less exposure to the world outside of what little Vladolf wants them to see.
It will probably make the European CS2 servers less toxic though.
Less hackers in games?
🤔

Half of the people in Jita 4-4 disappear overnight.
Is this an EVE reference? It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve last played… ah the memories.

Yessuh. o7
I haven’t played in a while either, hah.
there’s never been a bigger hive of scum and villainy
How are we going to get more treasures like “Blending in with the Russians”?
It’s not about what Russians can get from the outside, it’s more about what they can get to the outside.
I think the idea is to have some capacity to temporarily preserve some connectivity, while mowing down protesters or something like that.
They are doing such exercises for like 10 years btw.
But when the war in Ukraine stops with some “mission accomplished” ceasefire, there will likely be more violent signs of popular disagreement with Putin. Because, well, people with combat experience will come back. Some of them to ask for money on the streets, some of them to abuse their relatives and neighbors, and some of them to do crime, and some of them probably to stir shit up.
