You can replace xcancel.com by nitter.net, it worked for me.

Both are running the same software but I guess the protection of the sites work differently.

This reminds me of the story of the "Feather" project at YouTube where they improved a lot the page weight and the average page latency went higher just because they were actually seeing a lot more traffic from places with slow Internet.

The ISP named Free in France also did this a while ago.
It was fairly well implemented I think: separated from your network, bandwidth was limited (to avoid impacting the host), you could opt-out (which meant opting out of using the guest network), joining the wifi was automatic if you had a cellphone with the same ISP and it was the same "guest" network for all routers so in big cities, you could rely only on this to access Internet.
It was stopped a few years ago when they deemed cellular network was reliable enough to not need the guest network.

It comes from the GitHub repo description. There is a typo though but this is maybe intentional as the name of the repo is librepods

A bit late to the party but there is a famous French internet show called "Faux-raccord" which does exactly what this article does: every episode is focused on mistakes for some movie, told by the duo Michel and Michel with some jokes along the way.
Very pleasant to watch :-)

At which point does a monopoly becomes a monopoly?
There is no need to have a "clear" monopoly like Windows in 1990's to abuse your power and presence in the market.

I don't if the remake will come at some point but in the mean time, you can enjoy this online port by fans: https://game.chronodivide.com/
You can play Red Alert 2 in the browser, with other players online.

Biometric or password is necessary for every access (which may be an inconvenience for some).
Basically, the addon communicates with a native application on the OS (the iCloud application on Windows or the password application on macOS) so there is nothing stored in Firefox.

The application seems to be back in the Play Store. It is a shame that Google can pull these kinds of behaviour without any repercussion...

This is very impressive but I think Short-Stack [1] is a more impressive project because it is a fully fonctionnal Wii (as in, it works on its own as you would expect from a regular Wii) compared to this one where it needs other accessories to be able to play.

The free version does too. The paid version only adds cosmetics, last time I checked.

The implicit line here is that if there is peace, then there is military security. And the EU has been pretty good at providing that within its borders (compared to the history of wars between countries of the EU).
For instance: check if some apps are installed or not, and a lot of small informations about your device that can fingerprint your phone with 100% accuracy (like the exact time where the phone was setup).
