- ChuckNorris89 4y agoThat's why I have this phone in my pocket that can access the internet via the airwaves. Checkmate corporate network! Oh, wait, now Google will update the ad analytics for me based on this visit. Abort! Abort!
- Waterluvian 4y agoThis is why I had to fork nipple.js years ago. A harmless joystick library with a “ha ha okay…” name. Oh and another: I had an uncomfortable talk with IT when I tried to navigate to the TypeScript playground by visiting “tsplayground” which… was definitely not typescript. Finally: I will type “pythong” maybe once a month into bash. I’m not sure what that says about me. Sorry this is off topic now. Naming is hard… sometimes fun.
- martin_a 4y agoTales from the corporate firewall: Yesterday I couldn't access a website where "rechtsextremismus" (Right-wing extremism) was part of the URL. Obviously that URL contains sex and should therefore be blocked. -_-

- hairofadog 4y agoI hadn't heard of this; thanks! Also made me think of Jimmy Kimmel's Unnecessary Censorship bit.
