  1. I'm not feeling very tech-savvy today...

    Could anyone help me get around Imgur's block of users in the UK?

    [Thanks everyone, I've got it now!]

    I'm seeking access to a GIF of a book spine being cut off:

    imgur.com/gallery/book-spine-c

    If you're outside of the UK you can just click on the link and Imgur will serve it to you. But not for me.

    I tried some Chrome extensions but they all seemed to use a DuckDuckGo cache trick which no longer works.

  3. @thisislieven We could call it... ARTE. If only we financed it from the 🇪🇺 budget like the previous German government promised to do only to then never do it.

    As for #geoblocking *sigh* unfortunately artists I respect like Agnieskza Holland continue to lobby for it. But so do ones I don't respect, so at least I get to take it out on Östlund:

  7. FYI: Anne Frank Fund loses EU court fight over geo-blocked website: State-of-the-art geo-blocking shields sites from EU copyright liability even when VPNs bypass it, the Court of Justice ruled July 9, giving ad tech clarity. ppc.land/anne-frank-fund-loses #AnneFrankFund #EUCourt #GeoBlocking #CopyrightLaw #AdTech

  10. The Anne Frank Fund and The Anne Frank Foundation are in disagreement because her Diary is out of copyright in many parts of the EU but not in The Netherlands, and bad people could use a VPN to get round the restriction.

  12. Ich hätte da noch einen Tipp für die ToDo-Liste "Onlinezugangsgesetz"

  13. Da muss man ein VPN nach Deutschland anmachen, um sich über Youtube das Finale einer britischen Spielshow auf deren legalen Account in Dänemark angucken zu können … #GeoBlocking #Absurd #Taskmaster

  14. Travel focused apps that have regional geo-blocking for even logging into the app are fucking stupid.

    I confirmed it works if I connect to a VPN within the service area.

    I guess I won't plan my future rides or get payment history for past trips when I'm not yet on the trip. Or setting up a payment method!

    You would think taxis would try to catch up with rideshare services.

  16. Раньше-раньше когда я видел, что какой-то сайт не открывается, во мне поселялась уверенность, что и у других сайт тоже не работает. В нынешнем web3.0 я вообще ничего не понимаю, сайт может не открываться в «Торе», но открываться под германским ви-пи-эном, может не открываться или выглядеть поломанным в одном браузере, но работать в другом. #web2 #web3 #web2dot0 #web3dot0 #geoblocking #webbarriers

  18. Avis de tempête sur le serveur !
    Quand le géoblocage IPv6 passe à la vitesse supérieure, ça donne ça : un joli mur d'IP qui n'iront pas plus loin ❌
    Sécurité max en place, mes conteneurs respirent ! 🛡️

  20. My university uses #Geoblocking of known evil countries.

    #Geoblocking is a very sensible and appropriate security measure, as it ensures that

    only those with evil and hostile intentions get to your sites -
    because for those, geoblocking is easy to circumvent -

    while all normal naive believers in global connectivity - such as scientists, academics, students - are left out.

    I commend the use of #geoblock

  22. @rafa_font @ilumium @edri Because industry nepobabies like Miu Miu's daughter and Scandi bro hacks like Östlund keep lobbying national politicians and MEPs for #geoblocking ?

    "without geoblocking, there would be fewer European films and big English-language movies could dominate the market."

    They already do, Ms. Pochon. because nobody can produce anything for the 450 million spectators in the EU because of your stupid corporatist gatekeeping bullshit geoblocking.

  24. RE: mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116190234

    Fairphone is also geoblocking access to their support forums. Have fun travelling and trying to set up a new SIM!

    (I'm not buying their stuff again...)

  26. @ignacyy @arte Best thing about the ARTE platform is this:

    arte.tv/pl/videos/RC-026488/cz

    They just added Romanian as a 7th language, which is great. But all of this costs money and since we're in the middle of negotiating the EU budget, I really wish @voltdeutschland et al weren't such bougie dweebs [lovingly] who can't seem to articulate for normies the link between the 🇪🇺 budget and 🇪🇺 NOT having a pan-European broadcaster in all 24 languages (there's also #geoblocking, but one step at a time...)

  27. Und der nächste kleine Erfolg.

    Eine Recycling App, die uns sagen soll wie wir ein bestimmtes Teil am Besten und wo entsorgen hatte Geoblocking. Mir wurde vorgeschlagen, doch einfach mein Telefon auf ein anderes Land einzustellen. Ich hab dann zurück geschrieben, dass das nicht mal eben so einfach geht.

    Ein paar Mails gingen hin und her…

    Jetzt haben sie die App für 175 Länder freigegeben. 🤩

    Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen…

  28. Du bist die schnellste Maus von México und kannst ein Geo-Blocking nicht umgehen?
    Probiers mal mit einem Addon für Deinen Browser (hoffentlich Firefox): Proxy, Geoblocking, VPN.
