As a person living in a heavily sanctioned country, I really feel this.
Oh you want to use docker? Too bad you're from xyz. Oh you want to use gitlab? Too bad (foss my ass) .
You want to learn this skill or read this article? Sorry, information and knowledge isn't allowed for you people.
We live in 403 and 503 errors.

You're not missing anything. Except an endless stream of gitlab spam emails. FOSS & nostr ftw.
Where are you from?
Have you tried Tor? It's supposed to fix this type of problems.

Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship.
Out of interest is that why you don't have zaps setup?

It almost never works where I'm from.
The country I'm from is literally the worst place for cyber activities. The current situation is very similiar to china, but way worse because at least in china they have high speed internet, in here, it usually doesn't get above 30-40 Mbps.
Wouldn't like to say, but middle east.
I often visit family in one m.e. country and would guess that's what it feels like to try to do open source dev there. I am guessed by that the AI doomers, if they get their way, will reduce the U.S. and Europe to that same experience by establishing CompAuth.
I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be restricted like that. Hope we find a way to put an end to restrictions like that soon.
Correction: we used to live there. Network is operating as intended and has rerouted.
And there was much rejoicing :)
I bet you that a Nostr-based versioning system could work really well. It may not be exactly like git, but something similar could possibly work.

I really hope that too.
Never heard of it. What is it?
Dude, where do you live? If there are any specific articles or information you want, ask on here (Nostr), dm or tag me and I'd be happy to look stuff up for you and post/send it to you. Screw censorship.
Well, you are just watcing the begining of the end of freedom in the net. Have been some happy years but now thats changing. Every government will pursue the goal of controling the web as they control almost everything in real life. There is no other possible outcome
Some rebellious country in the middle east :)
Cool, if you need anything posted on here let me know, free the knowledge!
What does "rebellious" mean here, please?
Maybe replace "rebellious" with "refuses to bend over for the US".
Oh, yes. I understand. Thanks. ๐ซ
Yeah that is the case, but most of our problems are with our own government. (which was fixed by the us,uk,france and russia. I think y'all know where I'm talking about)
The government is officially and openly against the people.
I understand. Love and solidarity, my friend. Please keep up the light of hope.
