There’s nothing evil in Steam monopoly. Their evil thing is gambling.

Efficiency is not what AI is known for.

Don’t they both use ffmpeg so their codecs support is exactly the same?

You don’t even need to pay them, this service is free.

Why the heck is everything stripped to them

You need some CDN to hide your server IP from DDOS. Cloudflare is the only free one. AWS and Azure are the big ones with many additional services and seemed pretty reliable. So here’s 95% of the Internet probably.

It does work for people who value their wellbeing more than they value the information they remember. For remembering stuff there may be some medical injestions before torture.

Well in reality they will use waterboarding or some other technique that ensures suffering while not being life threatening. There’s actually a great movie called Unthinkable about this.

It says “until” so you’ll be having plenty of time to remember it.

Well they are pretty open on that you should not use it.

MS still depends on sales of licenses

It’s not 2014, their business was selling cloud Linux and opensource since 2018 if I remember correctly.

With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it’s almost impossible for you to be killed by them.

You are not their customer, you are their product.

Why blame Cloudflare though? Make your own service or push other companies to offer their services for free like Cloudflare. If Cloudflare is “fucked” like you want to, do you think the web will become more free? No, those 20% of the web will either be gone(because it’s not free anymore), or will move to those really big corps that own the other 80% of the web.

Can’t you just use vpn?

Wasn’t Microsoft in a bad state during Balmer and it took Nadella to change focus from Microsoft developed products to cloud and selling Linux that saved it?

they’d prefer to stay out of content moderation completely rather than try to find and boot all the Nazis

With how loose this word(and others) is used nowadays by people from Israel, USA, Russia, Africa and maybe other countries I prefer Cloudflare to stay that way.

I can explain. Cloudflare does not block VPNs, some website owners choose to block VPNs using Cloudflare services.

Cloudflare itself is very open to VPNs, like you can use their free services to proxy your VPN over their network bypassing country providers blocking. You’ll have to pay a lot for such service in Amazon or Azure.

So their business model is that poor people can receive cool services for free providing marketing for their business clients to pay for even better services. And they do provide cool services for free and even better services for reasonable payments.

Closed web means Google, Amazon and Azure own their business and the web. They don’t want that neither in business sense nor in moral sense.

Edit. I’d like to emphasise that Cloudflare is the only CDN that provides their basic services for free to common people, making the web available to common people, making the web more free.

I’ve seen a couple of threads here where people shit on Cloudflare(including this one). They are stupid, don’t know how the web works and are out of their minds.

It won’t, don’t know who this whedon dude is(and don’t care) but their irl actions can’t do anything to the show.

So some of the gentry is not so landed anymore?

It’s KDE 4.2 though.
