They expected to get a marginal number of additional users from vendor lock-in of existing Signal users

Wonder what will happen to Firefox if this ruling means Google can't pay them to default to their search engine.
Yahoo was Firefox's default search engine between 2014 and 2017. It would have lasted longer, but Verizon's acquisition of Yahoo prompted Mozilla to terminate it. They can sign a deal with another search engine if the deal with Google falls through. In China, Baidu is the default search engine, and in Russia, Yandex is.
Certainly Google will be more careful after this ruling, but nothing will actually go into effect at least for several years, if it ever does, because Google is appealing.
That's a large chunk of their funding.
That's true. When Mozilla resumed their search deal with Google in 2017, Google provided 91% of their revenue. But the percent of Mozilla's revenue derived from Google has decreased every year since then, most recently at 81% as of 2022.
Maybe it's because I'm on a VPN, but I never get ads
They're paying for their own lawyer. ~~Support them at https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam]~~
Edit: They're not fighting it, don't donate
They offer legal aid to high-profile open source cases. So if you want them to notice, raising awareness of Nintendo's current actions against Yuzu is a good step

If you wish to support us a different way, please join our Discord and talk to bunnei. You may also contact: [email protected].
Or you could wait until the EFF commits to representing Yuzu (like they did for youtube-dl) and donate to the EFF at that point
There's a request on r/yuzu for a GoFundMe, but it has no response from the devs so far.
New arch installs usually work fine for awhile. Breakage can happen when new /etc/ configs get installed as .pacnew and the user doesn't notice, or when mkinitcpio returns an error building the initramfs and the user doesn't notice, etc.
Edit: Nvm, figured it out
For more tech-savvy users, sure. But I thought you were looking for a way for less technical users to share scrubbed URLs. You're not going to get the less technical users out there who share URLs to add a URL tracking filter list to uBlock Origin, but getting them to install ClearURLs is within the realm of possibility.

If your school blocks VPN connections, that usually means that they're specifically blocking OpenVPN traffic and/or WireGuard traffic. So if you use a VPN provider that supports OpenConnect (which looks like regular HTTPS traffic over port 443 to your school, there's a good chance that it will not be blocked.
That's what I do when I'm on open Wi-Fi networks that block everything but HTTP or HTTPS traffic. It's not as fast as UDP OpenVPN, let alone WireGuard, but it frees me from the restrictions of whatever Wi-Fi network I'm on.
