Is this similar to what happened in Spain?

Is this similar to what happened in Spain?

yes, it's quite similar. They blocked some lawful services too such as google drive (yes, really) and a TON of sites behind cloudflare by blocking some of its IPs (it happened a while ago, it's not directly related to this).

It's in a way related because this is also meant to combat "football streaming piracy", the same as in Spain. Idiot moves.

At that point why not just use the bank's website?

That's what I do. I don't install apps for stuff I can just do on the web.

Because that needs 2FA to login and guess what the only way to get the code is.

Does the government ban getting SMS messages on your rooted phone?

It's not considered secure enough.

Not that I'm aware of but if banks don't offer it, which most dont, good luck.

I remember learning to code with replit, the people from the course recommended replit because there was no setup to do

I used to teach with it - at classroom-scale it was really good. Unfortunately they shut all that down a little while back, and there wasn't really a good replacement. Which was a shame.

Seems to have worked out for them, mind!


Such a shame, it was really good for that

Some criticize that approach, suggesting that you're not learning important skills, but I applaud that approach. Anyone who's ever been in a workshop at a conference, where you have limited time to learn a topic, knows how much time is wasted doing initial setup.

yes this is such a good point, the OG replit could've been the perfect conferencing / classroom tool

Running an IDE in a browser like that is not something I'd ever want to work with long time or experimenting on my "own" computer - maybe it's just me being weird but running the code on the metal I'm holding is much more satisfying.

I'm not sure what features / tools replit had in this regard, but I could easily see it dominating CS education and conferences as the go-to IDE. (then making the real money by monetising the students in the future, i.e. other tools you can sell - even something like replit as a cloud provider), by having features like

  - templates you could share (i.e. one per lesson)
  - live sessions (where the professor could log into many students replit instance and demonstrate)
  - videos built into the editor / streaming / conferencing
  - "homework had-in" features, automated test sharing, etc.

I remember that was like workshop, something like learn to code in 20 minutes, and after learning the concepts and realizing you can control all those devices that power the world, just with code was magical.

I think that it had a big potential for that.


You also forget how panama Germany, Japan, South Korea are better now after removing their authoritarian regimes.

You're conveniently leaving out the other 80% of cases, which were failures.

A failure can simply try again (and again, and again...)

Unfortunately, that was 75+ years ago and all the more recent examples were disasters as of my knowledge.

Panama was on 1989 and Venezuela situation it's closer to that, than the middle East countries, We are united in this, more than 80% are against the current government and we even voted him out. There is not religious divide as it happens in those countries, even by ethnicity most people are just mixed.

Just go there, live there if you think that's true. It isn't it's the same argument that communist believers do about Venezuela, Cuba and North corea they will support those government but they won't move there or even ask the people there how they actually live.

Revanced you can still have the same algo. Also smarttubr

Musk and Zuckerberg, investing it's not their main thing they happen to have shares in companies they're CEO of, and their main activities it's managing them not investing

Promotions/deals?

By definition democracy and authoritarianim/dictatorship are no compatible


I'm not sure I understand what it means to be "compatible". We are talking about different countries with different regimes of course: in what sense two countries are or aren't compatible?


Only with a single nation.

Between nations, if that were so, no trade relationship would be possible between your go-to examples of each.
