True but I also think there are good use cases for such locks and would probably buy one if there were an open source lock available, or even one with easily replaceable firmware that was affordable.
Important thing to remember is that all locks are at best an inconvenience for any dedicated intruder and also to yourself if it fails.
I can excuse attempting to compromise millions of computer systems worldwide for nefarious purposes but I draw the line at violating the contributor guidelines of an opensource project.
The top cat uses ports to sort messages based on application.
Think pigeon holes, applications usually use protocols which are assigned a number by convention. The application gets it’s message out of it’s assigned ports instead of having to sort through all the messages.
Threads exists for the sole purpose of capturing some of the people showing interest in the fediverse as twitter dies and keeping them in the facebook ecosystem. Once it believes it has exhausted this window of opportunity it will defederate just as it de-federated it’s xmmp based messenger service once it thought it had the upperhand.
Every server that defederates from meta preemptively is working to build a resilient community that will survive this inevitable scenario. Every server that federates with meta will become dependent on it then collapse as their users leave to join threads once that becomes their only option to continue interacting with the threads users that their social experience was built on.
Your post only concerns threats to an individual user re scraping or malicious interactions. The threat meta poses to the fediverse is systemic. In the long run the meta-blocking servers are the fediverse. The meta-federating servers might see some short term attention but in the long run will have the same fate as those that hitched their wagons to the metaverse.

best guess is the vpn endpoint is blacklisted by google.com with the requests being ignored instead of serving you with a 403 as some sites might. The other geographic google tlds I assume are operating separate blacklists.
here I am feeling guilty sometimes making a comment halfway through a 200 comment thread before scrolling on to find someone else already made the same joke while this mf making smug comments when they’ve not even read half the headline.
They don’t want pirates removing the slot machine monetization from their game for children.
Linus Torvalds. He’s making a list.
Here is a really interesting video on lightbulbs which goes into how the light bulb cartel standard was more of a min-maxing of lifespan vs energy cost vs brightness than it was planned obsolescence.
I mean you could look at the architecture but all you really needed is a level
I unfortunately can’t speak to this directly as I don’t have direct knowledge of ad blockers.
Yeah me too 
I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.
Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.
I just tossed a coin out the window at the nearest child and told them to fetch me the plumpest turkey in the butcher’s window.
You could use Insular to quarantine your untrusted apps into their own profile (different permissions, file directory etc) and then transfer the individual photos to the “work” profile to access them with whatsapp.
Not all unencrypted apps are equivalent. Not wanting to use something owned by meta under any circumstances is completely reasonable.
I did the same thing starting probably around the same time as you except that did it start working for me 5 years ago and I haven’t gone back to windows.
It’s just what cars look like when they are designed for functionality rather than as a statement about the owner’s masculinity.
So they basically said “doesn’t count if there is jobs growth”. As long as you can keep creating 10 precarious gig worker jobs for every 9 full time jobs that are eliminated then the economy is doing great!
