They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    Not related to the article itself, but I’m curious why use of archive.is has become so popular around here considering that they refuse to provide DNS replies without edns personal information attached? I’m not familiar with the politics involved, but a lot of DNS providers are getting blocked by archive.is for not providing that info, including my own home DNS server and cloud flare 1.1.1.1 and many others, so I’m surprised to see it gaining popularity on Lemmy.

      I use the .is link for everything because it’s the only way to reliably get into most of the paywalled articles form sites like WSJ. The other archive sites have already been blacklisted and get served a paywalled copy or blank “please enable javascript” page.

      I knew nothing of it’s DNS funkiness.

      Do you have an alternative that it would be reasonable for people to know about?
