My networking knowledge may be out of date, but can't you get around region locked sites with VPNs or Tor?

I was in Turkey in July 2019. Wikipedia was blocked. I had to use Tor to access it. On installation I think I had to tick a special box that said something like "use flux capacitor bridge for blablabla countries like China and Turkey"

Though In that case, Wikipedia didn't give a fuck if you were accessing it from Tor. The government did.

I know some sites block tor/VPN access for various reasons

there's gotta be at least one fun game like that

The US importing guns from Brazil has the same vibe as Saudi Arabia importing sand from Australia

A "junior" project manager at my company vibe coded an entire full stack web app with one of those LLM IDEs. His background is industrial engineering and claims to have basically no programming experience.

It "works", as in, it does what it's meant to, but as you can guess, it relies on calls to LLM APIs where it really doesn't have to, and has several critical security flaws, inconsistencies in project structure and convention, and uses deprecated library features.

He already pitched it to one of our largest clients, and they're on board. They want to start testing at the end of the month.

He's had one junior dev who's been managing to keep things somewhat stable, but the poor dude really had his work cut out for him. I only recently joined the project because "it sounded cool", so I've been trying to fix some flaws while adding new requested features.

I've never worked with the frameworks and libraries before, so it's a good opportunity to upskill, but god damn I don't know if I want my name on this project.

A similar thing is happening with my brother at a different company. An executive vibe coded a web application, but this thing absolutely did not work.

My brother basically had one night to get it into a working state. He somehow (ritalin) managed to do it. The next day they presented it to one of their major clients. They really want it.

These AI dev tools absolutely have a direct negative impact on developer productivity, but they also have an indirect impact where non-devs use them and pass their Eldritch abominations to the actual devs to fix, extend and maintain.

Two years ago, I was worried about AI taking dev jobs, but now it feels like, to me, we'll need more human devs than ever in the long run.

Like, weren't these things supposed to exponentially get better? Like, cool, gh copilot can fuck up my project files now.

It'll only be an issue if they host mature content or federate with other instances that do, no?

I don't doubt the claim, but I would imagine others do because there's a relatively minor technical skill hurdle on replacing a phone's operating system which would turn most people away.

I never used a Pixel or Graphene OS, but when I installed Lineage OS on a Redmi, Xiaomi made me wait a week to unlock the bootloader. Huge pain in the ass.

Or there might be a better "drug-dealer-friendly" OS. I only know of Lineage and Graphene as open source alternatives, so I could just be speculating.

Also, all my former drug dealers used WhatsApp on the stock vendor OS. But then again... I live in South Africa, so the police are more focused on violent crimes (both enforcement and perpetration)
