Russia tests cutting
itselftheir citizens off from the rest of the internetThe state would certainly continue to interfere with the rest.
If everybody but the state is blocked, then any connections from Russia would be pretty fucking obviously the state. Honestly, that’s the best thing that could happen, since it would make figuring out what they are doing easy as fuck. But I have no doubt they are smart enough to just send their teams to China or something like North Korea does.
Belarus is a puppet state of Russia. Route outbound traffic through there to fuck with Western elections, or run a VPN.
In the long term is will fuck over their ability to hack stuff. You’re essentially ruining people’s ability to develop talent at tech. Even if u want to train them in it as military, it would be new to them.
Nah, they’d just do what NK does and pull out the “brightest” and train them in cyber
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”?
Less hackers in games?

Half of the people in Jita 4-4 disappear overnight.
there’s never been a bigger hive of scum and villainy
Is this an EVE reference? It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve last played… ah the memories.

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.
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.
They should grow a pair and actually do it like China has.
Nah. The internet should not be segmented like this.
They’re the ones choosing to make it that way so fine let them segregate themselves. It’s not like we’re entitled to their participation nor do most of us care either way.

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
Be good practice for when the rest of the world cuts them off for real.
Could they just stay that way?
Gladly, no more fucking Putin Bots.
Are you really that naive?
Unfortunately the bots are state sponsored so they will be allowed to bypass this.
Their bots will access the net

You know ips can be filtered to still have access right?
I’m sure they will still be around.
Noooo! My sports streams!
This is a sad day
That’s where all the best illegal movies come from!
Wait, so just like that, we’re gonna lose access to lemmy.ml and hexbear? Oh no! Woe, woe unto us! How will we survive this?
tbf the internet is going to consist mostly of 3 things in the future:
- propaganda
- scientific information
- funny cat videos
So I guess it’s not really a surprise that this is happening.
Tell me you use an ad blocker without telling me.
I was gonna say you forgot porno but then
scientific information
funny “cat” videos
cat as in pussy
You mean the clearnet and you put advertising under propaganda, which is fair, but advertising I feel is a distinctly heinous thing we could hate all on its own!
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.
then move somewhere else or fix your fucking government
Fuck off
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
Plus, there are things in Russia that I want. Like Starsector
I got your 6.
Oh I bet you do… 😉
