Rather than waiting around for the legal system to nanny me, I’ve gone ahead and committed to only purchase hardware that does not attempt to restrict me.

Odysee is behind clownflare. I’m more partial to peertube.
Get the 1Gb/s package and run a Tor exit node. And get a good lawyer.
The part that actually describes how the ban would work is at least one hyperlink away from the article.
If ByteDance doesn’t sell TikTok, app stores in the US would have to drop the app, and Internet hosting services would be prohibited from providing services that enable distribution of TikTok in the US. Companies that violate the prohibition would have to pay civil penalties.
(5) INTERNET HOSTING SERVICE.—The term “internet hosting service” means a service through which storage and computing resources are provided to an individual or organization for the accommodation and maintenance of 1 or more websites or online services, and which may include file hosting, domain name server hosting, cloud hosting, and virtual private server hosting.
yt-dlp remains unaffected for now.
I remember Hooktube. That was when front ends were still trying to play nice by accessing youtube the “right way”.
They killed that one off pretty hastily.
Invidious was the hero successor, but I think we all knew that it would eventually come to this. Invidious’ most recent fixes for blocking involve passing identity tokens, making a concession that Google is then better able to track users behind Invidious.
I’m not sure how much farther there is left to go on the technical angle of this fight.
Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
Deja vu
Just a few years ago:
Windows 10 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
With time, the normies will acclimate to it, and Windows 11 will become “acceptable”. Just like all the other ones.
Good guy Amazon: Makes employees return in-person to prevent them from using proprietary remote work software.
The genie is already out of the bottle BUT, one solution would be to raise the barrier to entry again.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
In 2008~2010, the flood gates opened for all the normies to stampede in and everything has been downhill since then.
The 🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇪🇺🏳️⚧️🇹🇼🇮🇱🏳️🌈 thought police have gotten to you, brother.
The Tippy Type is a keyboard cover for MacBooks
I could have predicted that even if the article never mentioned it.
I no longer view gatekeeping necessarily as a bad thing. In fact, it can be sometimes be necessary to preserve communities.
I’ve also learned over the years that the only people who succeed in migrating to linux are those who both considerably desire to do so while also having a level of technical competency somewhere north of average. Anyone else is just being strung along by a “helpful” linux evangelist in their family or friends group, and will ultimately drop the solution at the first sign of trouble and frustration.
What’s wrong with /proc/*info and dmidecode?
I really enjoy there being a natural filter through this process. I’d rather people who lack the willpower or cognitive capacity to complete an install be kept within the confines of Windows.
I don’t really see the problem here. So people dumb enough to use Meta or Tiktok etc become anxious, depressed and suicidal. That is actually awesome. All of the right people are getting hit with consequences of their poor decisions.
Not if they get their universal digital ID system in place. It is the wet dream of tyrants of all kinds.
