Technically true and practically irrelevant. Unclear if you’re trolling on purpose.

They should be blocking only “illegal” streams. What they’re actually doing is blocking access to big chunks of the Internet, which contain many sites completely unrelated to the streams but that many people use regularly.

I know the difference between blocking individual sites and every site hosted at Vercel or behind Cloudflare

What? Progress is now stagnating?

> "You can't build a startup training the next cutting-edge LLM model"

Again, what? That's exactly how ChatGPT and Claude were created. And many other startups with targeted models like ElevenLabs.

> once we move beyond our current economic system

If it's one of the other systems tried before, "progress" will not be on the menu.

Twenty years ago, for a brand new web framework written from scratch, and by then they had already fixed it.

Every web framework was trash at the time. And the alternative was custom PHP code probably ridden of SQL injections.

I used TurboGears and restarting your web server with a cron job was a pretty common suggestion to "handle" memory leaks.

If the poster stopped acting like an emo teen from the 90s (“Clownflare”, really?), he would be aware of the why of the late Linux usage spike, but maybe he wouldn’t like it (it is mostly because of “Omarchy”)

This was definitely an acqui-hire. I'm glad Adam could find an exit like this.

My reasons to switch to Linux from Windows were very little about "security" and plenty more about freedom. Sure, it was very nice avoiding running an antivirus, but that was just the cherry on top.

I wanted the freedom to change and "rice" my desktop however I wanted, and the Compiz cube looked awesome. I found Windows condescending and restricting in that regard. Yes, my first reason was the aesthetics, kick me out of the nerds club. (That was also the reason I switched to Mac for 10 years).

My second reason was that I suspected I could learn so much more about computers using Linux full time. And I did.

I was also younger and used to associate Windows with soul-sucking corporate jobs and Linux with new ideas and experimentation. It was us-vs-them. Open Source vs Micro$oft and all that vibe.

Because they like their Arch setup? Because installing Omarchy is three to five minutes at most so three to five times faster? XD

It's definitely not why *I* switched away from Windows

I don't think the worldwide trendings are right. The ones I see (with personalization disabled) are not all in arabic (?)

I don't remember the specifics, it might have been a simplification for the example
