That's a months old article, though I'm not sure why it was locked?

The r/Canada subreddit unfortunately does not allow articles that the mods deem to be "blog posts" or from organizations they don't consider to be news organizations.

Though the r/Canada community is still overwhelmingly against encryption backdoors, data retention, and mandatory age verification.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure feeling chastened right now. You got me.

Parmigianino-Reggiano is aged milk, so I'm not sure what people have against aged milk. Aged milk can be great

My poor fellow. You wrote about how something is a bad tool for a long list of serious reasons. Then it failed spectacularly because everybody decided to depend on it anyway - exactly what you were cautioning against. But somehow you have to respond to people who think you are the one who got it wrong! As a third party the whole affair gave me a good chuckle at least ;)

Germany appears to depend on it. Virtually none of North America does. I'm pretty satisfied with how this whole thing shook out!

Virtually no zones under .com/.net are signed, which was the only point I was making. It has no adoption here.

Even if example.com is unsigned, the delegation from .com to example.com will still be signed (including an attestation that example.com is unsigned). So lack of DNSSEC adoption by users of the TLD wouldn't save them here.

Sure. But that was not the issue with .de, it has about the same level of DNSSEC adoption as .com

DENIC screwed up the TLD itself, and .com/.net are just as susceptible.

Sssshh, don't give Verisign any bad ideas!

Not sure if that sarcasm or you are serious. But yes, people have issues with access to banking in EU all the time.

I heard stories about banks (mostly the app ones) closing accounts for "no reason" (there is always a reason and it's mostly quite simple), but I haven't heard stories about accounts being refused to be opened or clsoed for not having a digital id. And double so for this happening because the government put them on a list.

The government of course can put you on the list, but they don't need digital id for that. They pass a law, the regulator sends the list to all the banks and boom, you are blocked. I guess we should not have banks or not have the government too.

Because of the de-industrialization of the West.

More because we switched away from coal, and what coal we still use we pre-process to remove the sulfur.

The Russian leaked ones have proven to be legit many times over by investigative journalists cross-referencing those with other databases (e.g. flight tracking or leaked food delivery databases).

In Russia case no, they are not fake. Navalny tracked his killers by analyzing flight and train travel data identifying people who always travel with him. They used data sold in the black market.

Most people browse Facebook/Youtube over IPv6 as a matter of fact and that work perfectly.

Nobody is demanding IPv4 either. Or Ethernet. People buy "Wi-Fi", literally "Wi-Fi", not Internet access.

Exactly. To this point I went to a Comcast store to cancel my internet and the person asked me if I meant I wanted to cancel my “Wi-Fi”. I was very confused for a couple seconds.

It has been interesting to me to see how the usage of "my wifi bill" instead of "my internet bill" has shifted.

That's why one company should not be allowed being an ISPs and a media company.

> There are a lot of people who retire and die not long after because

Because they are old. Retirement age is close to the death, especially for men. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/life-expectancy.htm

Because the West no longer competes with USSR.

It competes with China. But it's not like we can easily switch countries because of stupid laws, so what remains is to challrnge them. It only gives the wrong ideas to other wannabe autocrats.

I can get you residency in a number of countries in about 30 to 60 days. It’s remarkably easy to change countries an American friend of mine has over 15 residencies leading to over 10 passports. No citizenship by investment non sense either.

> 15 residencies leading to over 10 passports

Unlikely, considering most places require you to fulfill the granted residency by actually physically being there.

And are these even places you'd want to live?

only in the global north who want to you to spend half your time slaving for them. in the countries with privacy rights, and where slavery remains outlawed, the residency requirements are pretty minimal.

would i want to live there? yes. most definitely.

Can you name some specific countries?

Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Kenya, Costa Rica, UAE, Palau, Turkey, etc.

Paraguay requires for example 1 day for tax residency, 1 day every year for temp and 1 day every 3 years for permanent.

Will this really do any good when this kind of legislation magically appears through lobbyists simultaneously across the West? Let's not forget that blocks like the EU also have significant bullying power via trade policy.
