Other open source software gets similar treatment, with Colorado going as far as explicitly excluding code repositories and container platforms.

It’s not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.
The fun part of open source is that someone smarter than me will inevitably just update the existing spoofing tools to include whatever checks those platforms are using.
Digital signatures might be required to prove your age. Then spoofing won’t do the trick.
I hope I’m wrong though.
If the pirates have taught me anything, it’s that there’s a way around everything, and someone somewhere is smart enough and bored enough to find it.
@IrateAnteater @hanke if privacy is only for criminals, only criminals will get privacy
That ship sailed years ago. We are all criminals now.
A number of VPNs have tools to let you spoof browser IDs. It’s useful if you want to access YouTube and pretend you’re on Chrome to get better performance.
You don’t need a VPN to spoof the user agent of a web-browser. Quite literally type User Agent Switcher in the Mozilla plugin page and you’ll have a plethora to choose from.
The problem with this is Chromium based browsers work outside the standards for web-development, they implement features/protocols that Firefox or non-chromium based browsers do not comply with as it does not meet the specifications laid out, this is where you get people saying “Use Chrome if Firefox doesn’t work” but ultimately that’s a load of bull shit.
Follow the standards and specifications and your website will work on literally every browser out there, well, except those that are heavily outdated.
Hopefully it is as easy as saying the user is an adult without storing anything. It won’t be, but that would be nice.

Fuck the platforms. We’ll make our own.
Except banking-apps. Which are not onlyandatory nowadays but also unavoidable 🤢
You know what? I have a branch of my credit union within biking distance. I’m fine with needing to physically go there occasionally.
That surely is not a valid solution for everyone 😁 i have accounts e.g. at a swiss and france bank. Can’t just go there 😁 And from the other banks, only one would be reachable by foot.
Modern banks don’t even have offices you can visit.
A reasonable solution if it comes to it would be to get a cheap android phone only for banking and whatever else doesn’t work on non digital ID platforms.
As said in the other reply, that’s what I did. A phone with just the banking apps on a highly firewalled phone and with a fake google account. Now I use three phones (one for android auto) which should be one. This is no help anymore but additional Chores. Thanks enshittification!
Well, fuck ‘modern’ banks, then. My bank does have offices you can visit, and I’ll resist as long as possible moving to anything else.
Guess that’s the bank I’d be using if I were you.
Not so simple, I need more than one bank. Also I’m a cheapskate. These with offices usually cost 10-30 bucks a month. Just for that. If only using those that’d be around 50-200 moneyz a month for…nothing but being able to walk there, stand in line, then use a damn nasty machine made for dwarfs or talk to a stupid human. For every silly transaction?
Yes. Fuck them. But also…I need them. My solution was to just cave in and use one dedicated bank-phone. With fake google-acc, and firewalled to the roof.
Better than this walking solution? Like it was before. Web banking. On the web. With tan-generators or SMS. That was secure enough.
We’re literally on one “we” made on our own right now. So yeah, exactly, we’ll make our own. With blackjack… and hookers. In fact forget the platforms.
