Calling Tor a VPN is a bit scuffed. Yeah you can kinda use it as one but ultimately it's really a TCP proxy and has a lot of limitations because of that which traditional VPNs don't. There are some ways to make a VPN out of Tor but it doesn't change the fact that it ultimately isn't one.

Also I might add that in 2025 whether or not a VPN has IPv6 support should be relevant.

We have software marketed as a web browser, written in typescript running on a web browser...we've gone too far.

Adaway also has a no root mode that does this as well.

I'll be honest, I don't get the point of this feature. It's nice for beginners or for writing small, quick, programs...but for the overwhelming majority of all java code I don't see it being useful

What's the thing to the left of Nina? Or rather where is it from?

Webp has both a lossy and lossless mode so the first part of this meme is lost on me

I'd love to think you're right but there are bills in blue states for age verification too. It's nice to think that partisan politics will kill it in Michigan...and maybe it will but this is so much more than a one party problem IMO. Both parties seem complicit.

My fear is that even Tor won't help, if every exit node is censored then where do you go? Also it's not like you can't fairly easily detect exits. Sure hidden services are exempt but the amount of services there are tiny compared to the internet. I really feel like we as the citizens have to convince the governments to not do this. Otherwise things will only get worse.

Huh, good to know...either way the UK seems to have restarted it...at least I hadn't heard much about any of this until they did it and now half the states and a bunch of EU countries are doing it

Is there any country or jurisdiction that has come out against these laws?

The UK started it and now the rest of the western world is falling like dominos and the worst part is it's both sides of the politicial isle doing it which means it's even more difficult to shoot down
