LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.

It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.

I mean, you shouldn’t stay on here if you don’t like it, that goes without saying, but I think all in all the benefits outweight the few very annoying issues that this platform has. For instance, I think that the smaller number of people tend to mean that if you leave a comment somewhere you are likely to find someone to chat with and discuss whatever it is that you brought up in your comment.

Often times on Reddit there are so many comments that you either blow up getting over 20 replies or get forgotten and ignored. No inbetweens.

Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

One can hope…

You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.

Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it’s gonna end way more quickly.

Interesting. Like I said in another comment in Italian it means exactly what I said. From the first line on the topic on Italian wikipedia:

A vasistas (also written wasistas) is a type of window that is also opeaneable on the inside […]. The system allows the door to rotate down and the opening is delimited by special stops, called opening delimiters.

But apparently, after reading the French wikipedia page they use that word for something else. So it appears that we did steal the word from them, but used it to describe something different.

Oh really? My bad then. We call those windows from the pic “vasistas” in Italian, and I was always told we copied that word from the French. I just checked whether such a word existed in French, saw that it did, and didn’t ask any further questions.

In Italian and French they are caled “Vasistas”, from the German “Was ist das?” (What’s that?), it’s said they called it that way because the first German tourists who saw those windows in France were confused and kept asking for clarifications on how they worked.

Private torrent tracker. Invite only, to my knowledge.

I think that’s the first Italian plan I’ve ever seen in years without unlimited SMS lol. Not that it makes any difference, no one uses it anyway.

What provider is that? The yellow makes me think of Fastweb. Weird. I’m using ho. and I’ve had unlimited SMS for years now.

Anyway, SMS is a trash and outdated technology and that’s the only reason why it’s not used. Have you ever reached your monthly cap for SMS any time after 2010?

Woah really? ISPs coming out and bothering you cause you pirate stuff? Never heard of it. I’d jump ship immediately if I got one such letter.
