The amount of resources required to federate with Bluesky (i.e. ingest the entire firehose) is untenable.

The "decentralization" of Bluesky is a joke.

Despite its faults ActivityPub is superior.

Never forget Rands was in Jerkcity (now Bonequest) and had them retroactively replace his character with atandt:

Licking the boot now won't keep it off your neck in the future.

Legally, it's not

Big tech is making everyone's life miserable: social media, advertising, surveillance.

By working for them you are enabling this.

For real. This should be an article about circumvention, not compliance.

Wish this was open sourced. Proxying requests to a third-party server is weird and inefficient.

If VPN usage becomes the norm, sites will have to give in eventually.

While exits matter to avoid countries with a nation-wide firewall, the geoip industry is a scourge.

If an ISP wants to help their users avoid geoblocking via https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8805.html more power to them.

Shoulda knocked it over to make room. Can't wait for the ADA lawsuits.

You can disable it per-site buried under two levels of menus in Safari but it's annoying.

What about in-flight wifi? Can't use a hotspot up in the air

If you're your own ISP you can be wherever you want to be

I really wish Kagi would focus on search and not waste time and money on slop.

Any relationship to https://protein.monster ?

They're not blocking them, they're actively seeking fines, even after the site takes it upon themselves to block the UK.

Yeah, nah, the internet is pull not push. If a citizen of country A seeks material from country B that's legal in B but illegal in A that's on them.

Amyl nitrate aka poppers

This really should be a live-USB image instead of something you have to install
