I didn't ask whether it was better or worse than declaring a war; it's clearly less bad than starting a war.

But that doesn't mean it's right. Maybe doing neither a war nor sanctions, but something else, or nothing, is the right thing to do.

It works on some devices; they do sign the builds as far as I can tell. But the bootloader itself needs to be convinceable to trust the LOS signatures, and needs to understand the secure boot implementation used in the Android that the current LOS is built from (since Android has re-done it all a few times). Nobody knows anything about bootloaders to figure out which of them can do this or how they would be induced to do it.

You don't need an Invidious instance to back FreeTube. You can set it to local mode to just talk to YouTube from your IP, or to operate through a proxy.

You can print out QR codes to Rick Astley videos.

Thank you, I love to see these memes of production.

I wouldn't recommend linking to it because IIRC it's one of those web sites that can't actually be relied on to serve the thing you linked to to the person who clicks the link. Instead it likes to serve complaints that they don't have an account, kind of like Instagram.

That's not allowed on Wikipedia, you have to use verifiable information from reliable secondary sources instead.

So you would have to pair this with a switch that not only does VLANs but also somehow does your NAT for you.

You're I guess looking at a feed of everything there is with no anchor to the correct side of politics? Try that with ActivityPub and just ingest the entire ecosystem with no home instance or blocklist and you'll get lots of this.

But I think you are right that the Bluesky PDS will not refuse to host you for saying things along the lines of "The US should continue to sell all kinds of weapons to Israel", whereas a lot of Mastodon instances might be expected to kick you off for expressing this stubbornly common opinion.

But I'm not sure it's quite fair to expect a public service to share exactly the correct Overton window that one has oneself. That sort of enforcement on Bluesky is meant to be at the level of the custom moderation service/labeler, not at the data storage layer, since users more or less are meant to control that themselves.

And if you pick a good labeler it will enforce that only the correct people are allowed in your view.
