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
That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!
Noooo! My sports streams!
This is a sad day
I have a suspicion that they have a virus that they want to spread and protect themselves from
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
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.
Xis puppet is learning another trick from its master
As a queer person in a place currently under russian control, I find a lot of the comments in favour of the censorship problematic. Being gay in public is illegal here, so a lot of our queer people find communities on the Internet. Being cut off from those would be terrible.
Sorry you’ve been saddled with that, friend. I hope things get better in Russia (or Ukraine, Transnistria, or Georgia, think that covers all the places they occupy) in your lifetime
I hope I’ll escape before it collapses, otherwise life will be unnecessarily difficult for a decade or two
I got your 6.
Oh I bet you do… 😉
Plus, there are things in Russia that I want. Like Starsector

Fuck off
Big lan party But I’m sure there will be outside content somehow
Russian Federation? M-more, more like, like… Russian De-Federation, am I right?
I’m only familiar with the magnificent russian defenestration rate.
It’s as close to 1 as a country can get.
Lol peace suckas
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.
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.
Yeah I’m sure going full north Korea and cutting of everyone below the government is gonna work well
Red Star OS when?
Wouldn’t it collapse their economy? Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world? And doesn’t a shitton of money flow into Russia via ransomware
Shh. Just smile and wave.
Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world?
I think those will move somewhere with Internet connectivity.
