daft enough to use a free one

C'mon, it's 4chan we're talking about here. The gambit runs from "yes, that daft" to "good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies".

they will be blocked in the UK

This is the only real solution, and it's a inconvenient one at best to surfers thanks to solutions like VPN.

Can't stop the signal

Apple also sells a physical product in the UK. Microsoft and Apple both sell a virtual service/product in the UK. 4chan only gets revenue from you looking at posters and clicking those posters on their website.

UK can get fucking bent. Come and take it.

Does the UK think they have jurisdiction over my server just because some twat from the UK visits my site? If so, there's a reason why we fought a war nearly 250 years ago that said that a stupid fucking idea. Colonialism is a dead ideology

Yeah, I don't think you really understand how the internet works. Their presence is in the country where their servers are. People from the UK essentially go to another country to visit 4chan. If the UK doesn't like that the onus should be on them to block that access, but that is also a stupid idea thanks to VPNs.

'Member when YouTube TV was $35/mo and everyone would be grandfathered with that price? Now it is $83/mo.

This sounds like the income tax in the USA. They won't tell you how much you owe in tax, but if you're wrong then they'll bring the hammer down.

There was a time when you could have a platform that ran with components from all 3. Intel CPU, AMD GPU, and nvidia's nForce chipset on the mobo.

There wasn't even a slap on the wrist in that ruling.

So is it YouTube family or YouTube household?

Either way, probably need to setup site to site VPN and route YouTube traffic through a central location, if you can block geolocation.

Yeah, long term goal is a self reliant total internet experience. I figure at best, I'll still have to rely on a handful of more trustworthy companies to do some things like search.

 

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.
