What a predictable typical, mealy mouthed half acquiescence nothing statement from CDT, the “consumer protection” organization with an annual fundraising event called “Tech Prom” with all their tech funding. Glorified agitprop, compromised ass DC swamp huffers.

All age verification is bullshit and doesn’t work.

The freakanomics effect on a generation of academics

Correction: you messed up your internet connection

As another said on the thread — it’s not really Linux that is the issue here as much as the internet. Browsers are just memory hogs now and you’re not going to get an enjoyable experience on 2gb of ram imo, if the goal is to have a functional laptop. OTOH, it would be a great little project server to play around with things like pihole or your Arrs🏴‍☠️ or other self hosting goodness.

Nah they’re fine. A blog post needs a header image. They would never have commissioned some artist for that they would have just thrown the same generic Linux distribution logo or penguins that Linux blogs used ad nauseam before genai. People have been complaining about lame header images forever.

Appreciate it! Yes, for every other poor Italian coming to this thread, the secret was to enable Secure Core and the antitracking features.

Guarantee the original team would support this comment.

Yes, it absolutely is a result of the piracy shield thingy. Secure Core does seem to work!

Can confirm that the IP address/location appears to change, but the block and AGCOM interception remains.

Nope. Swapped to every other server ProtonVPN has. I’m thinking it might be a DNS configuration issue though, because yeah, I don’t understand why a different server wouldn’t end run around this.

I’m thinking it must be a DNS configuration issue… Every server with ProtonVPN is showing the same, from the US to Netherlands to Switzerland. All of them.

Voice of reason

Alpine may not be able to make a power unit that doesn’t explode five laps in but their graphic designers have been top three for years now.

“Childrens advocates “ have been backing the most egregiously unconstitutional, paternalistic, data broker friendly, moral panic, privacy dystopia bullshit bills around the country. “Childs advocates” are why we have anti pornography pearl clutching panopticon laws that require you to scan a government ID to jerk off. Fuck off with that.

The Markup has done some of the best reporting outside 404Media on data brokers, and that work was instrumental in getting the California Delete Act passed last year that will let you one click delete your information from every registered data broker in a few years when it gets implemented. CalMatters is a good org but I hope The Markup gets to keep doing what they’re doing.

Appreciate it! I’ll have to give it a check!
