This is the third post talking about this ban and it got me thinking.
Would it be possible to hide the VPN traffic in HTTPS traffic? Something like HTTPS bridges for Tor, but instead of Tor traffic going through the bridge, it would be VPN traffic?
I think the narrative these people are trying to push is that these companies get dollars flowing into Russia, they buy roubles, and Russia uses the dollars on the international weaponry market. I don't get why this would be a problem, since Microsoft still does the same shit I assume (most Russians definitely use Windows)
This is true. However, if I owned BK, I'd see this as an amazing business strategy, although a quite unethical one (but as we can see, multi million+ dollar companies aren't the most ethical either way). I mean, now the literal government has an interest for it to stay in business, they may even start to promote the brand.
I simply don't get this mentality. I'm sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you'll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.
While I do agree that most things in life are somehow connected to politics and that it needs to be discussed, when I come somewhere, in real life or online, and I want to chill out, I really don't want to hear about it. Political communities exist, even here on Lemmy. Let's keep politics out of cooking, meme, and other not politically oriented communities please :)
I fucking hate Meta and any other privacy violating companies just as much the next sane person, but public data is public. Period. If people are stupid enough to post stuff they don't want to be misused, then they shouldn't even complain.
Let's shit on Facebook for the privacy shithole it is, not for them training their brand new Sucky Zucky Lizard AI on public data.
Ok. So do you think EV makers make it easy to repair them? Because they sure as hell don't. On paper you can, I agree with that. But they lock the software and hardware in bizzare ways, so that you have to go to a certified mechanic.
Have you ever fixed an older combustion engine vehicle? You watch a youtube video and a few hours later, you can, in most cases, at least get the car to a state so you can drive it to a mechanic. On modern combustion engine vehicles this is still possible, although a bit more difficult.
Uhhh, EVs? No way you're fixing anything in there.
Ahh, I guessed this was the case. I just couldn't find anything about it. Thank you :)
