To this day one of the most informative and interesting blogposts/articles I've read. Not sure if it was ever posted here, therefore I submitted it:)

Installation was easy, and it works as expected without interfering with i3 window controls.

However, the sole reason I'm keeping an eye out for raycast-compatible launchers is the ability to integrate the raindrop.io extension - which seems to be broken when used through Vicinae.

Maybe someone else running raindrop got it to work; "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'subscribers')".

what version are you running? I'm currently working on improving extension support but yes, some are still in a broken state.

the newly released 0.9.4 should fix some of your issues.

Indeed it did. Hats off to you sir! Thanks for the update.

On this note, how does this work? Do they terminate TLS now?

Who are "they"? British authorities does not block anything directly.

A few sites are covered by DNS/IP blocks by network providers separate to the Online Safety Act, but no sites are - at least so far - blocked by providers because of the OSA. These are mainly piracy related. E.g. The Pirate Bay.

The blocks/age verification due to OSA are done by the sites themselves under threat of steep fines.

This is all in the finest British tradition of passing the responsibility to someone else so you can point fingers when you get blamed. UK authorities love getting industry to "self regulate" as much possible, under threat of more restrictive laws or court challenges when they don't regulate hard enough.

The upside from a government point of view is that these blocks then are hard to challenge in court.

Thanks for this detailed post. While I think most are aware of the broad situation, it's impressive to read it all laid out like that. And whenever the author tried to make a statement about guys, the gist of it was "we don't know, it doesn't matter, boys will stick around". Made me chuckle.
