@nixCraft Will it be available to most Americans? Probably not... :(

@yaelwrites I use various DNS-based blockers since those will be more popular in due time.

NextDNS, Adguard DNS, Pi-Hole notable examples.

Earlier, I just received what is likely my final vaccine dose for the foreseeable future if not ever giving the trajectory of the federal government and the current political climate. :(

@mike805 @kkarhan @AAKL I wouldn't be surprised if those cloud stuff won't be easily turned off int the future. The AI stuff espeically becuase they're so desparate.
