A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I feel sorry for whoever is still living in Russia.
Don't be, as Torrentfreak is not reliable source. Screenshot of the law on their site is about measures, similar to GPDR in Europe.
Law about external auth services is talking only about all these login buttons like login with Google, with Apple, or Facebook.
It is not required to use service (it's Russian e-government service, pretty useful). There are still several options (yes, there is VK com, Russian "Facebook"). And it does not explicitly forbids plain old account creation with an email.
Russian-language independent media says otherwise. Websites like VK and RuTube will now require Russian Email addresses like yandex and mail-dot-ru.
