Yeah I'm sure going full north Korea and cutting of everyone below the government is gonna work well
Depends upon how you measure "well".
The Kim dynasty is still going strong, three generations in. Odds are that the Kims and probably a number of people at the top would be worse-off if things changed. From their perspective, things probably are going pretty well in North Korea.
Of course, the standard of living of the North Korean public is pretty horrendous, the economy is undeveloped, and North Korea doesn't have a lot of international clout. If your metric is whether the typical person in society is living well or whether the country is powerful, wealthy, or secure, then things aren't going very well.
NK never had Internet. The people never lost anything. Everyone in Russia is online. They might not have toilets, but they have mobile data.

Good
Edit: actually not good. Disinformation agencies will still have access, so hexbear and .lm will remain. Only citizens will be punished and will be cut from non-prpaganda sources.
Yup, it's the opposite of good. Russian citizens are getting screwed here.

Russia tests cutting ~~itself~~ their citizens off from the rest of the internet
The state would certainly continue to interfere with the rest.
In the long term is will fuck over their ability to hack stuff. You're essentially ruining people's ability to develop talent at tech. Even if u want to train them in it as military, it would be new to them.

They should grow a pair and actually do it like China has.
*northkorea
- Again.
They do this every few years.
It is like those "drills" with fighter jets flying close by. Everyone does it occasionally to test reaction time. And every time it is a breaking world news.
Nah, it doesn't always make the news. I know of one time where they flew right over my house and there was no mention of it anywhere, so I tell this story every time anyone mentions those "routine" fly overs.
It was New Year 2019-2020 about noon.
The MIG came in from the Kattegat coast and roared through a fjord well below reasonable eardeafening altitude, which made me go outside to see what the fuck was going on. It got intercepted by one of our own F-16s and they did a few rounds of dog chasing right above my head before it flew like hell back towards Russia. The fucker must've dodged the Swedes on the way here.
Way out of line. It's completely reckless to put some kid into a machine like that and have them fly this close to residential areas. Who knows what would've happened and how many people would've been hurt if the idiot had hit a tall antenna or lost control from the g-force or whatever. They were flying low, fast and swirling like moth being chased by a flyswatter.
The Russians are reckless assholes even in peace.

Fuck. Please don't take down Sci hub... I know there are mirrors elsewhere, should I be worried?
I'm not even going to make the usual joke, by saying sarcastically that I don't use it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's the biggest contributor to scientific progress in the last decade and I'm tired of pretending it's not
I see a lot of comparisons to China's great wall but i'd wager North Korea is way ahead on that...
BTW, I've seen an article that China is considering the relaxation of their great firewall.
Something about Chinese citizens being ideologically solid enough. I guess that's one way to say that now with Palestine and everything else nobody really thinks that the Western world and the free world are synonyms.
Riiiight...we can trust our people to choose Maoism over hot singles in their area.
I don't think Chinese propaganda has anything against hot singles in their area. They have a shrinking population problem now.
ideologically solid enough
They have been manipulated into being some of the biggest racists on the planet.
Wouldn’t it collapse their economy? Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world? And doesn’t a shitton of money flow into Russia via ransomware
Like how many Russians are digital sex workers selling content to the rest of the world?
I think those will move somewhere with Internet connectivity.
Shh. Just smile and wave.

cs.rin.ru and rutracker ;_;
Also many people from the cracking scene y general.
On the one hand, oh no, not the fitgirl repacks!
On the other, I spent an hour last night failing to get my controller to work with her repack of Yakuza kiwami, so maybe it's for the best...
Fitgirl currently lives in Latvia according to her website.
Oh, I just saw she links to cs.rin.ru last night while looking for solutions.
Also, wasn't being serious anyway
