  • I wonder how they will enforce this. If you can just open a private window to bypass it, it won’t be very effective. Sure, they could do some fingerprinting, but I imagine avoiding false-positives would be very important, so I doubt they’d get very far with that.

    Honestly, the only way I see is implementing a login wall, which I wouldn’t put past them. And that’s kinda scary. It would render so many links inaccessible to people without a Google account.

    Or who knows, maybe they just want to make it more cumbersome and not completely prevent it, to get more people onto YouTube Premium, while the more determined people can continue adblocking because it’s not worth fighting a small minority.









  • Yes, but the special thing here is that OpenAI, which has a lot of shared stakeholders with Reddit, has already trained their models on its data, so they might have an interest in turning it off for the other companies. Also, they might be in a better position to negotiate with Reddit for special access to the data than smaller companies.

    It’s a pretty wild theory, but interesting nontheless.



  • Ugh, internet providers are annoying. Why is stuff like that even legal.

    For situations like this I’ve had success with Shadowsocks, which you can combine with Wireguard, and run over Port 443, here’s a guide.

    You could also try if it’s sufficient to just run vanilla Wireguard over port 443.

    Edit: One issue you might run into with Shadowsocks is that combining it with Wireguard is not possible on mobile AFAIK.










  • Not possible yet. The devs said it may be coming in the far future. kbin supports this, but it’s a bit buggy still and is not yet compatible with Lemmy. I’m considering switching once they turn on federation (so that you can join Lemmy communities from there and vice versa).

    This is all still a bit early still, unfortunately. Though I’m sure now that so many people are here development will accelerate significantly.

    Edit: People on Mastodon can reply to Lemmy conversations, though. And we can see their comments here.
