2·3 days agoI don’t see many people talking about it.
Maybe because we have been doing it with DNS66 for 15 years now
3·5 days agothis isn’t a violation unless there are contributers who didn’t consent to a proprietary distribution.
Analyzing the disassembly of the pro and open source binaries shows that the pro version is definitely based on the open source version.
That would include changes made later on in the OSS version, that were backported to Pro without permission from the original authors.
Not on the list. If you search around online there are tons of threads of people having this same problem for many years now.
different ISPs, physical locations
I think this covers the IP question…
this is objectively worse than “thorn guy”.
I don’t understand how people are even able to use discord in the first place.
Every time I try to make an account, something goes wrong.
-
endless captcha loops
-
stuck in preview mode forever, no joins to a server ever succeed
-
immediate inexplicable ban
-
phonewalls right after creating account
-
immediate ban after providing a real phone number, that has never been used for discord
-
“our automated system is working correctly, appeal denied”
I have tried multiple different desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, across different browsers, ISPs, physical locations and operating systems, with nothing in common and no VPN/proxy or anything like that. For years. It just does. not. work.

What similarly draconian laws have actually passed in recent time?
it will never pass in a million years, relax
Tor VPN can be downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store.
Cannot be trusted IMO… all play store apps are signed by google (they actually hold your signing keys now) and contain proprietary blobs.
Android Tablets and Chromebooks are not supported.
Why not tablets?
I disagree… I think that’s like saying “people are ok with having a license to drive, they won’t mind showing it every time they get behind the wheel.”
As far as I can tell from reading the text of the bill, this doesn’t actually require anyone to realistically verify anyone’s age… it just requires “account holders” (adults) at account creation time to provide a (any) birthdate for the purposes of categorizing their access by age bracket. It doesn’t say anything about the information having to be accurate, and gives no penalties for such.
It applies not just to Internet sites but any software application, including operating systems. And strangely it also designates any “person that owns, maintains, or controls an application” as a “Developer”.
We have tried to make Rayhunter as easy as possible to install and use, regardless of your level of technical knowledge
we do not support Windows
I just use FoxyProxy, which lets you use wildcard/regex rules to send different sites to different proxies (or none at all).
On firefox at least, you can also manually set a specific tab to use a different proxy.
Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.
Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.
It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.
It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.
I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.
How does this compare to Chitchatter?
now if we could just get some real mods @ lemmy.world…
Oh really? I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.
