I feel like nobody really uses #vimeo itself anymore, but I’m worried about sites like Dropout.TV which use Vimeo OTT *extensively* behind the scenes. Any word on whether they’re seeing any impact by the private equity acquisition? Hopefully all these companies that are basically built entirely on the back of Vimeo’s platform have some ironclad contracts 👀

Many #UK Users Soon Won't Be Able to Access #Pornhub https://www.404media.co/uk-pornhub-blocked-age-verification-vpn/ #nsfw #porn #privacy #Onlin...

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN” A VPN ban isn’t really stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime. Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK. And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw #UKpol #VPNban #PornHub #ChatControl #Privacy #FreeSpeech #SocialMedia View quoted note →

This shit just made me switch to @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net https://stateof.mozilla.org

Mozilla says they have $1.4 billion “in reserves (no debt)” and that still isn’t enough for them to focus on making Firefox good? Mozilla being an epic failure of an organization was never about a lack of money. View quoted note →

I only found out today that American TikTok was taken over by the USA like half a week ago. A few years ago there might’ve been more outrage from the CCP, but it’s fascinating how completely silent China has been on American affairs overall for the past year…

Often I try talking about things with people, and not a single person is remotely interested, so I've made a blog instead lol ✍️ https://www.jonaharagon.com/posts/im-getting-into-mesh-networks-meshtastic-meshcore-and-reticulum/

Nothing annoys me more than finding an old phone of mine, and it has some PIN/pattern lock now completely unknown to me 😆
