You might wanna try out Pale Moon. It’s optimized for single-thread performance and takes up a bit less memory.

It sets an absolutely obscene precedent that a government can globally restrict information

Again, the information is still everywhere.

Even global terrible actors like Russia and China haven’t succeeded at that.

Actually, the Chinese Wikipedia used to have a systemic bias in favor of the CPC before China blocked it, after which the bias was changed.

because the entirety of Wikipedia is open source and would be mirrored in the country instantly

It’s a bit elitist to restrict information—weapons of revolution—to those who know how to find a mirror website. Why don’t you survey the Chinese nationals in-person to see if they know how to get on Wikipedia? Plus, to avoid block evasion, no mirrors would be able to edit Wikipedia.

Dude, what bad does this do? To the Indian people, to you? The information has already been plastered all over the internet, including archives of said article, which anyone may access at their will and command. You want billions of Indian peoples to suffer and be deprived of intellectual revolution for what, grinding a utopic axe? Ceasing operations in India would do way more damage to Wikipedia’s goal.

But the information is already available archived elsewhere? Don’t you think the people of India deserve to be educated?

Could you at least give me some keywords to search?

Firstly, Wikimedia does have many usergroup organizations (i.e. subchapters) in India. And even without that, my point is that Wikipedia can’t shut down in India.

could you link to examples of the past?

Information is the power behind revolutions and popular democracy. I’d be surprised if the WMF didn’t check a web archive before taking down the article. The court case was already all over worldwide news before that anyways. If they took the article down from archives, that’d be a different story.

India isn’t capable of enforcing fines against an organization that doesn’t operate in their country

You serve a website in that country, you operate in that country. What say you about the GDPR?

They already have the capability to block content locally.

If by “They” you mean Wikipedia, they don’t. Contempt of court risks excluding all Indian editors and readers from using Wikipedia along with hefty fines.

not sure it’d be better if they wrote censorship software to protect articles based on geolocated IP for this

there’s still https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_News_International#Litigation_against_other_organisations

Indians still deserve their information

yeah it was their own anticheat. you can play it perfectly fine (except scrollbars are a bit fast) with Sober though.

I guess you could play Roblox instead and deal with child labor 🫠

Duh, they want the money

by “he” i meant louis lol

akshually that’s the sorta-nonstandard text fragment that tells the browser to automatically scroll to the text, not the headline at all

and I’m saying that Simple was talking about hardware performance

There’s hardware performance and then there’s hardware repairability. He’s talking about the latter.

Dude, the article just said to hit the brakes “if you can’t avoid hitting a deer”, the exact scenario you described… Did you even open it?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/11/07/tips-keep-from-hitting-deer-with-car/71476020007/#:~:text=Braking is the safest way,less damage than the alternative.

Let’s pause — I would like to reflect on this incredible phrase, about an asset class that democratizes access to events as they unfold. See, I thought we all had access to the events of the election because we all exist in reality and can find out about them. But apparently, if we can’t gamble on an event, it isn’t happening. This is a fascinating vision of metaphysics, and I would like to hear more about it. No one bet on my birth, for instance, and thus there is no asset class relating to my existence. So am I real?
