Who cares if nobody can work, the important is that those illegal streams are blocked
Remember when India blocked the official website for VLC?
Its still blocked including newgrounds.com. I have to use VPN to play Geometry Dash because sound of custom level are hosted on newground.
Here a List of site which I can’t access without VPN
- VLC Website
- Raw Github URL
- Newground
- t.me : Telegram Links (but I can access telegram.dog and telegram.me)
- ApkPure
Which ISP are you on? Most of them are working for me
I use Mobile Data. DNS over https can unblock some website.
If you are on firefox i suggest turning on DNSoverHTTPS, it works after a few reloads{newgrounds will still not work though :( }
Good news. Hopefully this will help to finally break the de facto monopoly of Microsoft’s GitHub and bring the distributed aspect of Git - away from gatekeeper platforms - back into the foreground.
Based
…but this will realistically just spawn some new mirrors and proxies because the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won’t ever move away.
Anyway, I am doing my part! (With my irrelevant profile)
the vast amount of projects hosted there definitely won’t ever move away.
That’s what they said about Sourceforge though.
Sourceforge 🤮
Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad! At least it granted (and still grants) the freedom of choosing which VCS shall make your day harder than necessary.
I wonder why people favor codeberg so much over things like gitlab. It has an ugly UI from ancient GitHub…
Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that’s why.
Makes sense, though GitLab very much doesn’t require self-hosting
I know, but most people are lazy these days (and self-hosting stuff in the EU has become a legal battle against every week’s new rules).
I don’t think you understand what I mean. It has its “main instance” which most people use. It’s just open source so you have the option of self hosting.
I know, but most people won’t. :-)
When is it supposed to kick in? Because it sure hasn’t been done yet.
Edit: Blatant misinformation
While the underlying court order was reversed many months ago, some Indians continue to have trouble accessing parts of the website.
Its been like this for a long time. I still find it difficult to access raw.github. the reversal is not proper as far as I can say.
Edit: checked now, still can’t.
Based on the other comments, they blocked the raw url.
But the headline 'India blocks github" is incorrect at all levels
the main problems of those blocking orders, worldwide, not only in india, is that while blocks are immediate and done with no supervision directly in the hands of the copyright trolls, unblocks are slow and need 100+ approvals
It’s exactly how reporting shithead users online is like.
You report a stupid asshole, takes a long ass time to be dealt with.
They report you - record time.
😆 you report mean people on the Internet.
Uh, that’s what the report button is for. Let me tell you something, you sound like the kind of person who go around calling people “soft” or “snowflake”. You believe there should not be any cyber bullying laws. You believe everyone should just shut up and take it. But I bet you, you’re the biggest snowflake of them all because as soon as someone dishes out what you give to others online, you’ll be squealing to the moderators before you know it.
Don’t lie to yourself, I see trashy people like you pull this kind of act all of the time. You’re nothing special.
I’m lying to myself. Yes that’s it. I’m so trashy. Mhm. I’m a huge snowflake, you got it bud. 😂
