Meta now training on EU user data:
"to understand the “diverse nuances and complexities that make up European communities,” referring to dialects and “hyper-local knowledge.”

@EUCommission My proposal for unlocking the potential of one particular 
creative industry (one we invented in Europe) is to smack Ruben Östlund and all politicians he's lobbied for #geoblocking over the head with the Consolidated version of The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union open at Article 101 until they stop blocking Europeans from learning about each other and entertaining each other with popculture.

@euractiv@masto.ai My villain origin story. This is how I breakdown and start churning out scripts for "the tastes of average Europeans" and the lowest common denominator just so industry nepobabies like Miu Miu's daughter and mediocre Scandi bros like Östlund can die mad about it.
That euro Love Actually except with way more gay couples you've always wanted for Saturnalia? It's coming.
Jean&Bob Monnet/Schuman Hangover-style biopic? Consider it done.
AppleTV: “Do you want to use your account on this (vacation home) AppleTV? Sign in!”
Me: Sure, and install my previously installed Discovery+ app so I can watch Snooker!
AppleTV: “I’ll switch to the German App Store and install that app for you!“
Me: “Cool! Open it.”
Discovery+ App: “You’re in Denmark, Discovery+ is Max here. Please install the Max app.”
App Store Germany: “There is no Max app here.”

@landley @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea yeah, the exhaustion problem would've been shoved back with a #64bit or sufficiently delayed by a 40bit number.
Unless we also hate #NAT and expect every device to have a unique static #IP (which is a #privacy nightmare at best that "#PrivacyExtensions" barely fixed.)
- I mean they could've also gone the #DECnet approach and use the #EUI48 / #MAC-Address (or #EUI64) as static addressing system, but that would've made #vendors and not #ISPs the powerful forces of allocation. (Similar to how technically the #ICCID dictates #GSM / #4G / #5G access and not the #IMEI unless places like Australia ban imported devices.
I guess using a #128bit address space was inspired by #ZFS doing the same before, as the folks who designed both wanted to design a solution that clearly will outlive them (way harder than COBOL has outlived Grace Hopper)...
- Personally I've only had headaches with #IPv6 because not only do I only have #IPv4only #Internet but my #ISP refuses to allocate even a singe /64 to me (but has no problem throwing in a free /29 of #IPv4's in with my contract!)and stuff like #HurricaneElectric / #HEnet's #Tunnelbroker fail face first due to #Geoblocking and the fact that #ASNs get geolocated, not their #PoPs...
If I was @BNetzA I would've mandated #DualStack and banned #CGNAT (or at least the use of CGNAT in #RFC1918 address spaces) as well as #DualStackLite!
The regional government of Carinthia is blocking connections from anywhere except a few western-european countries on their main website.

Don't be like Carinthia.

@shoppingtonz @alternativeto @torproject also every #Tunneling - regardless if #SSH or #VPN or whatever - will inevitably introduce #latency (unless you happen to be customer of a shitty #ISP with horrible #peering and thus can cut down on hops needed, which is AFAIK only a theoretical scenario)...
- Outside of circumventing #Geoblocking and bypassing #IP-based #Banning (i.e. for #Cheating) I've not seen any use-cases.
In fact I stopped using #HEnet #Tunnelbroker and #IPv6-#GIF-Tunneling because it created more issued than it solved on my #IPv4only #Internet connection…
Apple devices from China: Tough blockade by Apple Intelligence
Anyone who buys a Mac, iPhone & iPad in China cannot start Apple Intelligence on it, even with a suitable account. Apple apparently uses hard geoblocking.

Wer Mac, iPhone & iPad in China kauft, kann darauf Apple Intelligence nicht starten, auch nicht mit passendem Account. Apple nutzt offenbar hartes Geoblocking.

@seyon @bossito Especialmente para a ficção, sim. Há um lobby intenso da indústria em todas as instituições da UE para bloquear qualquer tentativa de eliminar o #geoblocking.

@fennix TBH, I think those bs claims should be illegal.
The only valid claims I've seen is that it enables people to circumvent #geoblocking and potentially #InternetCensorship as well as #TrafficDiscrimination due to lack of #NetNeutrality, but those are always to be taken with a truckload of salt!
Most certsinly, there are no "#loglessVPN|s" and no #VPN provider will risk jailtime for any.client…

⁂ (Fediverse) Wenn die ARD Dinge sieht die es nicht gibt
Eben wollte ich schnell mal online auf den Stream des Ersten rein switchen, Betonung liegt auf wollte. Den ich bekam folgendes präsentiert:
Dumm nur das ich weder im Ausland sitze, noch gerade eine VPN-Verbindung über einen Server im Ausland nutze. Auch die Sprache kann es nicht sein, die steht auf deutsch.
Wo ist also das Problem?
#Frage #ARD #ARDMediathek #Geoblocking #kaputt #2025-03-05 @askfedi_de
Ich schaue als #Auslandsdeutsche gerade die Wahlsendung der @tagesschau, aber ich muss mich via VPN ins Netz der Universität Mainz einloggen, um die Sendung online zu sehen. Zum Glück habe ich da noch Zugang! Ansonsten greift leider das #Geoblocking. Liebe #ARD, ich verstehe ja, dass Champions League nicht global frei ausgestrahlt wird, aber eine politische Sendung, die auch im Ausland lebende Deutsche betrifft, die sollte auf jeden Fall für alle zugänglich sein! Das sehe ich als Grundauftrag.

I'm pretty sure there weren't #geoblocking in 1985.
Hoffe mal, dass das bis zum Start des #TVDuell anders aus.
