"RobloxPianoAutoplayer" "Anime-Clicker-Simulator-GUI"
what??
also their "Guardian V2" repo
Q: What is Guardian V2?
A: Guardian V2 is a side project of mine. Its purpose is to protect users from game/user-made malicious functions/scripts. It is highly customizeable
jeepers weepers man isn't it so cool to have their anti-cheat so customizeable??
the discussion is happening here: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73
Someone working at Proton has commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.
If you want my personal take:
It's very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form, which I see as an attack on freedom, journalism and activism.
I'm not a fan of Protonmail of any sort and in fact I consider that their privacy is lacking... but I really hope they can talk some sense into this guy. This block list seems to be used by a lot of webs that will start blocking virtually every private email provider.
(Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don't seem to have a "contributor" or "owner" badge, so idk. Maybe they are just very angry at privacy and anonymity on the internet)
These lists are used by platforms to try and cut down on spam/bot account signups. This isn't a thing done for signups by the vast majority of platforms out there, but the API verification steps IS becoming more prevalent I suppose. I just got rejected for using a Protonmail domain to buy something outright on a very popular pet supplies platform the other day, but...eh.
Theyβll just lose my business and get a stern customer support email then. I donβt do business with companies that exclude Proton/Tutanota/Skiff emails.
Bro... You're on Lemmy. What business?
Yes, Lemmy users literally never spend any money, not once ever.
You guys have money?
