Huh? I don’t use a VPN unless I want to watch geoblocked content, and adblocking works just fine without.

Free access to “radical” ideas doesn’t bode well with conservative governments.

if anyone got that notification, there could be chances that they’d run
That right there. People who forgot to update their address and got unpaid traffic fines and stuff will settle them when they are eventually found, but the flight risk for serious criminals weighs much more.

You think? That generation will have kids who buy the same crap and won’t listen to their parents, just like the kids now don’t listen.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 2 months ago:
It’s a nice concept for interpersonal relationships regardless of the setting, but it’s got limited applicability in a results driven setting.
- Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? 2 months ago:
You’re only seeing the colds that made it through the defenses, without having any means of measuring the ones your immune system successfully blocked or kicked out before they could take hold.
So your statistics are flawed.

Cloudflare works perfectly fine with VPN.
But browser plugins to fuck with the fingerprint don’t.

Nothing new. My wife was a teacher in China, and when they came for her passport just after covid, we left the country instead.

Not sure if this applies before birth.
Please demonstrate the prenatal eye contact, I dare you.

They have been contacted and responded with aggression, so they are obviously aware that they are not alone, but want to be left alone. Free will is free will.

I hope you did report the matter to the police regardless?

Nah that was Windows XP, where the hard drive was not encrypted by default, and the password was stored in a hashed file on the computer itself, freely accessible via any boot stick. Actually cracking it still took some time (below 7 characters a few minutes, 7 about 1h, 8 chars up to 24h, longer… LONG). But if it was a common word, then a dictionary attack with a long enough word list (most word lists have like 400k words or so) would get it in seconds either.
The funny thing with Windows XP was that since none of the data was encrypted, you could simply delete the password hash and set a flag in the registry and you would boot right into Windows with no password at all, and were then prompted to set a new password. That didn’t work since Windows 7 anymore.
