Yes, the internet is much bigger than it was in 2003, and it needs more complex protective tools. The fact that you haven’t noticed cloudflare when it is working is a sign that it is, well, working.
And the fact that your favorite sites aren’t down more often is yet another sign. Downtime due to DDOS attacks alone would be so much greater without cloudflare than downtime due to cloudflare currently is. Your perspective is a pure lack of knowledge and an excess of confirmation bias.
Even as a homophone, I don’t want the word phlegm associated with my salty snacks.
Don’t call me homophonobic though, I support phonemes of all stars, stripes, and identities.
I use a chamois cloth, seems to pick up oil/smudges even better that microfiber and need less washing. Also super easy to wash when it does need it. I basically just cut a dollar bill sized section off a natural off-brand sham-wow and it works better than anything else I’ve used

Yeah that seems bad lol. I feel like there has to be an option in between $200(creami) and $7000(pacojet) that can avoid chunks of plastic though
Why? Not challenging, just wondering what the pacojet does that other machines can’t
Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn’t get the joke in the image. It’s funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster’s caption.
That’s super open minded and uncommonly positive, and makes me think I didn’t necessarily come to this thread with the most constructive tone myself. I’ll think more about how I voice feedback as well online for this.
You gotta read the room and understand the context. Someone brings up a thought/question casually on lemmy, it’s gonna make you sound super self-impressed and generally naive to respond as though you’re the one who (or anyone at all) is going to get that thread to a global solution for an incredibly difficult issue that people are already working on. Everyone is just spitballing for fun and curious if any novel thoughts will get tossed around in a thread, so when you reapond to someone highlighting an issue by saying “okay, so what’s the solution” as though people aren’t already thinking of that or wouldn’t have included it in the comment if there was one, it isn’t productive, it ignores the intention of the comment, and it makes you sound like the crappy boss in a bad movie. What is expected? Someone to say, “The solution? I hadn’t thought about that! The whole thing is cracked! Invaluable contribution!” In the end, there’s just a huge difference between saying something like “That’s interesting, I wonder what the biggest obstacles are” and “Okay, I approve of your thoughts, and I know thats important to everyone, but they are incomplete, which you likely didn’t notice. Let me help you with the next step by asking, what’s the next step, which, beside offering great insight, is surely the type of conversation you were looking for in this thread.”
Okay, so your potential contribution is to phrase your questions and responses in the most patronizing possible way, as though we’re in a boardroom with you at the head of the mahogany table, and pretend that much smarter people aren’t already working on this and coming to more complex, detailed obstacles and solutions. I don’t like the idea. As for logistics, I am trying to think about if there is a way to solve a complex issue that has vexed generations and touches nearly every global industry, in a lemmy thread based on a showerthought.
No way, never. That’s just not who I am.
A “little bit” doesn’t begin to cover it…
I think he probably meant laserdiscs
It’s evolving, just backwards
Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.
