I can confirm I have already some experience with the fact of VPN usage being flagged as a high change of automated traffic (except it was TOR, which is pretty much identical in this context).
Discord put me a wealth of captcha, Wikipedia refused edition of pages (even with my account. Which IMO looks like an oversight). And many pages just had captchas even when not trying to log-in.
I’ll have to thanks Lumen contributors (Google first). I’m not worried about Google de-indexing them, but I’m,more worried about others (I have experienced lacking result on DuckDuckGo (and Bing, that they use) over what I can only assume is wrongfull (and non-transparent) DMCA (first with ListenBrainz).
I’ve switched to Brave. Work better.
Well… That seems uselessly risky and complex when you can just ask them to not do that. The issue tracker said the Youtube folks have been informed. Let’s just see if they fix that rather quickly. (but they are certainly not the only one with that kind of stuff. I’m not a big fan UA discrimination. I mean, this kind of stuff is what webcompat is all about.) (except for some purpose where you truly care about the architecture, like selecting a download link for an installer) (on the other side, I’m totally fine with feature-flags based discrimination, but that need to be done client-side).
Well, I’m not that pessimist, at least not on those 2 points. I hardly see how CSP would prevent addon to do their stuff, as CSP is protection against cross site attacks, and extension aren’t sites (thought I actually remember having an issue like that once making an extension, but correcting the extensio’s permissions solved it).
And DRMs only apply on the video stream. It won’t protect the webpage or the javascript. Plus there are content on youtube that they are contractually required to not put behind DRMs.
What I’m worried youtube will do is simply that their server will refuse to send the video until a certain time after the user load the page, thid time corresponding to a bit less than the time the user would wait by playing ads.
It won’t force the user to watch ads. But it’ll deincensitive it by a certain amount.
This article clearly is just about the public DNS resolver. Using cloudflare to register a domain is well different, in particular cause it’ll play a “significant” role to make it accessible. (as 1. it is not neutral (you need to be a customer) and 2. Removing a registration will block it for everyone).
Next year (1st january 2024), it’ll be in the US (but just the first version from Steamboat Willie and The Gallopin’ Gaucho)
Meanwhile, Android not even wanting to accept accent is painfull.
FYI, arm can already handle most Open Source Software with no problem as far compiling them is concerned. In particular, Qt and GTK does work, and cross compiling too is very easy. Not that it’s necessary anyway (aside of probably faster compilation unless you have really good ARM CPU). In particular, QEMU have qemu-user (if you didn’t know), which basically Rosetta for Linux, but with a good performance hit when testing cross-compiled code.
Edit: In my opinion, what will switch the faster to a non-x86 on a large scale (for computers, not counting phones, tablet and microcontroller, not using them anyway) are servers. A lot of them use standard open source software, so switching might be pretty easy if the package manager abstract it (like… All of those I know).
I mean, certain cloud provider are starting to offer renting such servers (and not speaking of all those hacker who host server on raspi (and then those who use standard linux on mobile phone too))
