The GitLab mirror of @hagezi's repository is no more, due to a variety of technical issues.
The maintainer recommends users switch to other mirrors, specifically "JsDelivr, Github RAW or Codeberg".

Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️Went to read this and it's subscription-walled. Fine. I subscribe to your podcast and like your work, so I go to subscribe. Turns out the subscribe page doesn't work without turning off ad blocking. Neither does the opt-in page. Neither does showing images in the articles even when logged in as a subscriber.
Disappointed.
If anyone should know better it's y'all. You're technically and privacy literate, and so are your audience. Still, you expect us to accept trackers to read an article?
I still love your actual journalism, and was honestly considering becoming paid subscriber. I can only do so in good conscience though when you stop forcing all readers to allow anti-privacy tracking.
If people have to turn off adblockers to read, I'm out.
