  • We dislike it because nobody needs it. Nobody here is getting DDoS’d to any extend that needs external protection.

    I’m talking anecdotally but it seems to me that all the people who ride-or-die Cloudflare are also self-hosters who aren’t very knowledgeable about self-hosting concepts and just heard that cloudflare protects against all these imaginary problems because they sure do sound scary!





  • I like what he does and that he can rally people to a cause, but he consistently misses the mark.

    In order to escape the corrupt bureaucracy of New York, he moved to… Texas.

    I think he’s a ‘path of least resistance’ kind of guy, not ideologically driven but rather “I don’t wanna deal with it” driven. He has deemed that it is easier to move to Texas because the corruption there affects him less directly and more abstractly, and he chooses to front Right to Repair because it is easier to lobby and rally people than it is to work in his industry without his political influence.

    He has a front row seat to the horrors of capitalism and, without missing a beat, says “I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist” because it’s easier to be a shitlib than it is to believe in something bigger.






  • I wonder if Denmark ditching Microsoft is directly related to Schleswig-Holstein doing it. Specially given they’re neighbours.

    It’s not, but our direct neighbors announcing it first surely helped the people lobbying to get it considered. It’s also not the entire Government, just a small portion of it. Some municipalities have already been using Linux on user-facing computers like in libraries and I’m sure on the inside, as well.

    The discussion is up because of the current American administration, and would continue to be up regardless of if Schleswig-Holstein or anyone else announcing their intentions to do the same.
