A quick rant

This is going to be a quick one. At the moment my mind revolves around the things that are going on in Hong Kong.

It is a war with love as a weapon and I hope it does not turn violent.

I bought a new phone this weekend and yeah, in China it is almost a brick: no google services, no yahoo, no youtube, no facebook and now no dropbox - it has worked before but since my favorite email app and it honestly should be everyone's favorite email app is linked to dropbox - that is only accessible via a VPN here from inside China.

It's crazy, when you try to access websites like yahoo it doesn't show it's blocked or anything, it loads forever just to show you a warning that the server is currently down and that the site might steal your credit card information and whatever. Same with facebook - it times out, so as somebody trying to access it you mistake it for an actual server outtake. This is what they want from you, they want you to think that those websites are unreliable or unstable and to use the Chinese government backed equivalent. Fuck that!

Take the great firewall down Anonymous and not only a few local government sites. I am waiting on the digital revolution here and you gotta do better then a few WuMaos with computers...
