Nothing, but it won't work forever as more and more sites start to use it, eventually (if they keep blocking it for years) their users will keep complaining and/or just leave if they cannot access the sites they want.

I have the feeling that limiting yourself to Gemini would guarantee you basically only ever communicate with the weirdest of the weird.

It has been ruled by SCOTUS that the Constitution specifically does not apply at border entry to non-citizens:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_ex_rel._Knauff_v._Shaughnessy

the Constitution does not grant aliens any protections when trying to enter the United States.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-3/ALDE_00001263/['article',%20'14']

an alien "on the threshold of initial entry stands on a different footing" because he or she is theoretically outside the United States and typically beyond the veil of constitutional protection.

Although a lawfully resident alien may not captiously be deprived of his constitutional rights [to due process], the alien in this case is an entrant alien or "assimilated to that status" for constitutional purposes.

The Attorney General therefore may exclude this alien without a hearing, as authorized by the emergency regulations promulgated pursuant to the Passport Act, and need not disclose the evidence upon which that determination rests.

I think you answered your own question :)

How have I never heard about this one?

There are already many signal proxies available, plus an unlimited number of VPNs to choose from (or self-host yourself on a VPS)

For the purposes of my argument I don't consider blender to be "very popular" in the same way that Chrome or even Firefox is. Blender has less than 2% of the number of users that even Firefox has. I think if Blender were to get Firefox-level popular (for example, over 100 million users), then it too would succumb to greedy corporate interests.

If you know of this funding model working successfully at the scale of 100 million users/customers or more, I would be interested to learn about it though.

wait until they find out where computers and the internet came from. or Tor... GPS, etc etc.

I had no idea what to expect because I don't use it, sorry.

Thanks

It’s really not a big deal

For most casual users, it is a deal-breaker. And it's hard to get everyday people to use your software with roadblocks like that.

every time I open my email client.

You must not get email very often, this is absolutely a non-starter for me.

So you came here with zero technical expertise or knowledge about the situation, and asking for specific steps on how to do this in order to make a product?

no need to be rude
