Cloudflare bietet verschiedene Dinge an. Für die basics gibt’s dutzende Service Anbieter oder FOSS on-prem Lösungen. CDNs sind zB ein vollkommen valides Geschäftsmodell, das muss nicht jeder selbst haben. WAFs sind schon etwas schwieriger, aber auch dort gibt es andere Anbieter.

Cloudflare ist nicht schlecht, weil deren Produkte nicht FOSS oder überteuert wären. Cloudflare ist schlecht, weil es eine eigentlich dezentrale Infrastruktur mit einem monopolistischem Layer überzogen hat. Ich unterstelle da erstmal nicht einmal böse Absicht. Was die machen ist technisch sogar ziemlich gut. Aber eben alles zentral. Das will man eigentlich nie.

Weil CF sich in derart viele Bereiche des Internets geschlichen hat, dass sie nicht nur einen erheblichen Teil des Internettraffics mitlesen können, sondern auch eine Art Single Point of Failure geworden sind.

Wenn Cloudflare kaputt geht, kann man das Internet zumachen.

Und cloudflare gefährdet das Internet.

I’m kind of pissed that such obvious and preventable idiocy leads to an almost immediate liver transplant.

Yes, that’s just a lucky coincidence for him, but still…

As shown above, they don’t read the label. Ironically, you didn’t even read the screenshot that’s the cause of all of this - which disproves your point entirely.

What if, that might overwhelm you, this doesn’t answer the question at all?

You’re simply pushing the question half a millimeter to the side. Nothing more.

That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.

Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.

Man sollte die Sorgen der Echsen ernst nehmen! Sonst spielt man nur der AfD in die Hände!!!

Because it’s not using hot steam, but vapor, it’s more like sweating.

The heat exchangers are sprayed with misted water, which evaporates and takes away heat. But the resulting vapor is still only slightly above ambient temperature and can’t be reasonably condensated.

I really wonder what’s going on in the editors minds here.

The entire premise of the article is “All experts say no, but I think yes” - why would anyone about any topic publish this? If it would be an actual debate, maybe some contrarian but actual experts arguing in favor of sentience, you could get into an argument here. But this article is blatant science denial. Climate change deniers and antivaxxers use the exact same approach “facts say X, but my feelings say Y”.

It’s the woo girl type of feminism. Simulacra of accomplishments are used as simulacra of performative progress. The real issues are glossed over and everyone can cheer for rich women.

I mean, obviously. They had no other choice after the woke mob and their “slavery is bad, mkay” destroyed the entire workforce market!!!

(/s, just in case)

Wie soll man denn sowas auf Papier bringen???

Wo bekommt man den?

Ich hätte ein paar Denkmäler zu schützen.

And you really think “the elites” are the ones buying and selling here?

Yes, they have a lot of wealth in stocks, but usually they simply own a large chunk of their (or their parents) company and the rest is managed by a fund manager. And if you have millions or billions, you don’t need to think quarter to quarter.

What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.

One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.

The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.

I mean, “safest” is a superlative, not a positive. It’s perfectly possible that all other pipelines ruptured three times or more.

Not to sound confrontational, but you’re way too focused on your - likely rather advanced - usage.

90% of people search for very simple stuff. They want to know the weather or want to know about that new movie they don’t quite remember the name of. And for that use case, Google is perfectly serviceable. And since people are used to it, for example by it being the default on most platforms, they use it.

A lot of market leaders are objectively a bad choice, but they’re a known brand. Coca cola, McDonald’s, Oracle, etc.

Das ist aber trotzdem eine eher unorthodoxe Vorstellung von Demokratie.

Du kannst nicht einfach die Grundgesamtheit nach Gutdünken bestimmen. Und vor allem kannst du nicht die Wahlergebnisse von einer Gruppe auf eine demografisch vollkommen andere Gruppe übertragen.
