Yep, Fastly the CDN company (doing HTTPS mitm-as-a-service for millions of websites) which Apple also uses (along with CloudFlare) for their similar iCloud Private Relay feature.

Unlike Apple though, Firefox’s new “built-in VPN” does not claim (falsely) to use different providers for ingress and egress.

iiuc Firefox uses Mullvad for original paid VPN service but their new freemium one is through Fastly (?)

How much you pay the cell phone over there mr marx lol. Or did you barter it up. What a joke. You are a little capitalist too

twitter (via cloudflare) is serving HTTP 403 {"error_code":2,"error_response":"Dmcaed"}

well, some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all

!memes@lemmy.ml mod here - rather than downvote, i deleted it.

imo “eliminates 99.9% of [demonym]” isn’t funny or ok for any value of [demonym], even when you’re making a germs/germans pun.

a wifi access point that gets online via a cellular network is called a mobile hotspot, regardless of if it’s running on a phone or a dedicated router device

huh? mobile hotspot is double-bad

Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…

It isn’t reversed compared to how this meme format is usually used: the glasses-on image is on the bottom, and associated with the viewpoint OP is saying is correct/better.

If one hasn’t seen (or has forgotten) the film, this is the way that makes sense, since glasses (generally) improve the wearer’s vision.

This meme’s canonical format is however in fact at odds with the actual scene in the 2002 film:

A related meme form which doesn’t have this ambiguity is the much older they live sunglasses - here the position of the two images are used less consistently (though as with peter parker, usually glasses-on is the lower one) but the glasses being on showing the truth actually fits with how it is in the film.

corollaries to Hanlon’s razor include:

Maduro’s VP has expressed a willingness to cooperate with Trump

What makes you think that? Is your news diet limited to Fox/CNN/NPR/etc?

FYI here is a translation of her speech, and here is the video of it.

Her subsequent statement (on Instagram, in English, and which some media is describing as “conciliatory” while selectively quoting from it) can be read here. When you read it in full you can see she is not recanting her earlier statement and is clearly still not distancing herself from Maduro. She is (consistently with him) imploring the US to follow international law and respect Venezuelan sovereignty.

what specifically do you wish democrats would be more willing to compromise about?

lol, ok, i see. TIL

someone reported this comment with the report reason “Anti-AI Trolling in an AI friendly community”

What makes this an AI-friendly community? I just read the sidebar and don’t see anything about AI.

I do see however that this community’s list of rules includes this peculiar pair:

• Only post socialist memes
• Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

🤔

Is this a spam campaign?

Five of the eleven comments so far (including one from OP) are all recommending the same service; all five are from accounts less than 2 months old with a one or two digit number of comments 🤔
