Why would anyone use a browser that requires you to login, especially after that: https://kibty.town/blog/arc/

For system wide DNS blocking you only have two options: use a DNS server with blocking (either your own with something like a piHole our a public one) or use the hosts file.

Depends on the country you're in.

I can't, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:

But it's also true that sometimes it's not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.

You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.

That being said I've seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.

My next phone is definitely going to be a Pixel for this reason. But my current one is not even 6 years old so I'll wait a bit.

It has some deal breaking limitations:

• No filter list that can be updated, you have to update the whole extension to update filters. This adds delay as it has to go through Google verification process, they could even refuse some updates.
• Not every type of rules are available on MV3, so it has to drop some filters.
• No CNAME-uncloacking.

You are right that there are underlying causes that needs to be addressed. That's why it spread so much and so fast. But that doesn't make racially motivated fake news OK.

But this seems easy to automatically block, no? If a client is querying an unknown domain check for some Matrix related data in /.well-known/ and add it to the block list if there is. And since the servers are publicly advertising the port used you just need to periodically check the list of known matrix domains you are creating in the first step.

Russia is already doing DPI and blocking ESNI so that seems easy. A more widespread usage of ECH would help everyone, as is Signal advocating, but that's not the case yet.

But no one is saying that a single tweet started all this.

But what's the link with the arrested woman?

I did not know about Rotherham, what's the link between the two?
