I assume this is because, in addition to the missing ciphers as referenced in the linked article, OpenVPN, even though it uses TLS, it initially uses a very identifiable handshake before initiating TLS, which is not hard to block. I have personally had problems specifically with OpenVPN being targeted/blocked in this way.
did you read the article?
I have the feeling that limiting yourself to Gemini would guarantee you basically only ever communicate with the weirdest of the weird.
I don’t understand how/why this got so popular out of nowhere… the same solution has already existed for years in the form of haproxy-protection and a couple others… but nobody seems to care about those.
Who was denied entry for not having social media?
4chan. they call each other anon all the time
will be denied entry

And SMTP/IMAP do not support end-to-end encryption, so a malicious server can still spy on you even if it uses TLS.
But I dislike that it requires even going that info
I never understood this stance… do people really think a corporation is going to risk their entire company over your anonymity when their country’s government does not allow this? Nobody is going to jail for you.
Plus, if everyone could easily sign up anonymously, then like they said, it would be overrun with bots and the reputation of their IPs would quickly deteriorate to where most other email providers would just block them, making the service almost worthless.
By satellite do you mean like a dish physically plugged in with a cable? I wasn’t aware of any “app” used for that on any TV… I just switch the input with the remote to like HDMI/component/RF/etc. and the normal android tv interface goes away completely.
What “TV app” is this exactly? I’ve never seen or heard of that before, and none of my google/android TVs or dongles have anything like that.
Also what make and model TV is this?
By “default app” I assume you mean the launcher. Just google for “android tv launcher”.
If by “plain satellite TV” mean using one of the input sources on the TV (like HDMI, component, RF etc.)… this is unrelated to the launcher and would still work regardless of which one you used.
How would you know?
You probably wouldn’t have heard about it simply because it’s illegal to publicize a secret subpoena/warrant. Such orders are given as National Security Letters with a permanent gag order, going so far as to preventing the recipient from even seeking counsel; it’s a massive abuse of power and due process in the US to get companies to lie and do whatever they want.
I don’t consider those to be useful anymore because a court can compel them to keep the canary up in secret, and I’m pretty sure that’s already happened more than once before.
I think real intelligence by definition requires empathy and humility, which is typically the opposite of such dogmatism in my opinion.

Yes but I think you still need a unique fingerprint in order to tie that data to a single person… and there are much less people who use ad-blockers than those who don’t, so to me it’s an extra bit of identifying information; obviously this puts the privacy-conscious user in a difficult position and I don’t know that there’s a perfect answer.
Yea every network may do things differently… in my case tcp/443 openvpn is blocked at several places that I frequent.
