Cloudflare works with the UK government to facilitate blocks within their infra, I assume in exchange for being allowed to access UK network infrastructure.
In the case that a blocked site resolved to a Cloudflare IP, it would likely be kicked off of Cloudflare, or geo-blocked for UK users (by Cloudflare).

The ISP's blackhole the IP for some blocked domains. So changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8 will resolve the domain, but the IP won't work. A VPN avoids this, since the traffic goes via the VPN IP.

Bear Blog meets every one of your requirements.
You can see examples on the discover page.
It has a small collection of simple pre-built themes, while also supporting custom CSS.

I have been using Dark Reader for years and years. Sometimes I forget that some websites don't natively support dark mode until I accidentally turn it off for some reason.
I recommend setting it to disabled by default, and manually enable it for websites which need it using the "Invert listed only" button.

We patch our dependencies.
This adds a diff to your repo, not an entire fork of the dependency.
A package manager like pnpm will install the package as usual, then apply your patch over the top.

39% all goods exported from Australia in 2019-20 were to China. Of that 39%, over half of that was iron ore. Australian iron ore production is valued at $136 billion a year to the economy.
Unfortunately, Australia really doesn't have much leverage in this space, and forcibly re-nationalizing an asset like that, would cause major diplomatic problems, like the harsh trade sanctions imposed by China over the last few years due to Australia backing a COVID inquiry.

Parent means IP as in Internet Protocol, not Intellectual property. The DNS for gnome.org resolves to 8.43.85.5, which lists Red Hat Inc. as the ISP. Indicating it's unlikely to be hosted by Fosshost.

ING only requires a customer number, and a four digit PIN for online banking access. The customer number is printed on the back of the cards and at the top of letters. There is no MFA. I wish I was joking.

If they were to make the copy available for everyone through their own syndicator then sure, but they don't. The "copy" is only available for the original reader, who had legitimate access to the original anyway.
Under copyright, you're allowed to make full copies of works which you have legitimate access to, as long as you don't distribute them to others.

To me, what Pocket is offering is like a warehouse where you can take books which you already own, and they're charging you for the warehouse space.
Doesn't sound like anything to do with copyright to me.

Ah, on further reading it looks like there are a couple parts to it.
I have only used the "Sign in with Apple" feature directly in apps, which only ever lets you create one for that app.
However, apparently with an iCloud+ subscription, you can generate arbitrary email addresses from within iCloud itself, and then use those wherever you like.

You can only create a small number of gmail accounts, since ever account needs to be linked to a valid phone number. Google actively work to prevent using their platform in this way.

You need a valid phone number to create a gmail account, and you can only have a few accounts attached to the same number. Google is "trusted" because they actively try to prevent spammers from joining their platform. Disposable email platforms don't, they let you create as many as you like.
After your name is checked off, you then proceed to a booth where you mark a piece of paper before folding and placing that paper into a plastic collection box on the way out.
It's very analog and the electoral commission have no way to know if you actually voted or who you voted for. They only know that you turned up to the polling station and gave them your name.
I assume the number of people who turn up at the polling station, only to walk away without voting is so small that it's not seen as a problem to solve.
