I have different technical questions I want to ask. I went to Stack Overflow and they blocked registration with a VPN. It’s really fucking annoying. I can buy a residential IP to bypass this, but I’d rather just not use these enshitified platforms that are so hostile to VPNs.
Is there any decent alternative to Stack Overflow? I have tried getting AI answers to the technical question but they are not good.
And no, I can’t just create a github ID using VPN to login, they block github logins based on IP also.
Stack Overflow thrives on participation. If you do not want to participate in any way then SO is probably not for you.
I am happy to participate. I do not want my IP and ping data sold to data brokers to serve targeted ads, track me, and go to the police surveillance state. I’m sure you are a good citizen who always keeps location on and feels like life would be easier if everyone just complied.
I like your disdain for mass surveillance, but don’t call me a tech bro
