#blocking

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

I don't manage a lot of infrastructure on the #Internet, but I manage quite a bit, and I am almost finished with #blocking the entire #UK over #OSA. I have no choice. The way the #law is written anyone who doesn't (and I don't believe in age-verification services as I find them a privacy mine field and nightmare) runs the #risk of an 18 million pound fine.

@troed @dalai @foone The problem will be that one will have to reimplement the "#API" as #api0 from scratch by running inspectors in browsers all the time...

  • Remember: The platforms that run these are hostile to the very idea of said phat client.

It'll necessitate all api 0 calls to come from the same #IPv4 and/or #IPv6 as the end-user and hide itself with a fake #UserAgent to prevent countermeasures like #RateLimiting and #blocking.

digipres.clubFoone🏳️‍⚧️ (@foone@digipres.club)The basic philosophy of adversarial automation is that the software/website is the enemy.

"#Safari is one of Apple’s most financially successful #products and the highest margin product Apple has ever made."

TL;DR: Apple’s rules and technical #restrictions are #blocking other #browser vendors from successfully offering their own #engines to users in the EU.

History has a lot to say on the peasant revolt vs. liberal half-measures

For thousands of years, the demands of the oppressed have remained startlingly consistent: Erase all debts, Burn the records, redistribute the land. These weren’t radical demands. They were and are common sense for those crushed by the weight of extraction, enclosure, and empire.

Compare that to today’s to often #fashionista “leftist” rallying cry of “Tax the rich.” Let’s be honest, this is moderate, half-baked reform in the #KISS sweep of human struggle. “Tax the rich” still […]
