I know but the problem is that if you pay for a VPN, that’s traceable which has its own sorts of issues (not to even mention KYC-like laws).
If there was a VPN service that was a, like, one-time payment only or that accepted giftcards that could be easier.

Set the VPN location to a country
Isn’t that a paid feature on most if not all VPNs that gluetun supports?

Lemmy.world mods. They are kinda like feddit.org mods. Whiny cocksuckers who are just so happy to vent their frustrations (or pretend ones) on their userbase.

Unneeded. We already have a tool for that it’s called blueprints, they haven’t failed in over 3000 years.

You don’t need to actively punch everyone you see. Just punch the Nazis. For the privacy part, what one could reasonably do once the tech becomes affordable is to eg.: wear passive EMP devices or something similar that disable cameras near you (at some point, the tech has to fit in a space too small for EMP shielding).

If you want to bend and spread, you do you. You don’t have to tell us to “get over” it and share your fetish. That’s a not-nice thing to do.

Fair point. Very few if any news sites provide unique articles.

It could be the citizens but done indirectly, for example via taxes. Even better, not all citizens: just tax the rich and put the money into a journalism pool, so the rich can’t choose to benefit any particular newspaper or editorial line.

Oh well, archive.today it is in the meantime I guess.

I haven’t said that journalists have to work for free. Just that we don’t have to be the ones who are trickled out to feed them. I doesn’t have to be “poors vs workers” unlike what the media is telling you, ya know? A better system is possible.

Okay so, what is the currently going-for alternative that bypasses paywalls?
- Comment on Until further notice: archive.today/archive.is/archive.ph/... is banned from this community for apparently being a Russian DDOS tool - Lemmy.World 3 days ago:
Paying for journalism simply promotes that those who don’t pay it don’t get it ie.: more paywalls, not less.

Gnome shell uses JS
I knew there was a reason why it sucked so much!
- Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 3 days ago:
Oh now that’s interesting. I’ve always wondered (not knowing much about how they’re made) if it would be possible to make a desktop compositor for Linux that simply uses HTML and CSS. One could even natively embed local pages in it.
- Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 4 days ago:
Every minute that passes, Gemini (not the Google one!) looks more viable, which is already a shame because as I described in lemm.ee before it went down, that itself feels like “Gopher but in the format of a brutalist buttplug”.
What we need is some sort of return to HTML + CSS 1.0, or a web engine that simply ditches JS, so that development can be tackled by Individuals again.

How are you reclaiming more of your day? The wage slavers want you on the office 9 to 7 regardless of how much job you “save” in the meantime. Don’t you want the office to look living and used? Think of the shareholders’s investment on the office space!

- Comment on How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia? 2 months ago:
if you make your service available in Australia you must comply with Australian laws,
How does this even work? This is among the stupidest arguments I’ve ever heard on the internet, at about the same level of flat-earthism.
Are you saying if I am in Italy, selling Italian good on an Italian shop set in an Italian street, and an Australian tourist sends an agent to walk the Italian street and buy a thing for them from my Italian stand, I am somehow beholden to Australian law? This but “oN tHE iNtErNeT”?
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 2 months ago:
Still doesn’t make sense. One company is turning to AI so that drives you to other companies that already have AI and are precedentally worse?
I’m not saying Mozilla is a saint. The sooner we can replace the executive branch, the better. But the even better comparative is if somehow we don’t even need to get to that point in the first place, and not supporting Mozilla at the past edge of where they’re at is defo not gonna lead to that.

Looking at the situation and deciding that prefering Chrome would be better is exactly the bot position to take.

Haven’t tested piefed myself (laaaaazy here) but it doesn’t hit me much as more-centralized-than-not compared to, say, kbin (mbin now?) offering a sorta similar perspective. Am I missing out on something?
