Is it not disgraceful that you have to use a trick so some third party company doesn’t install software you don’t want on your hardware? I think that’s appalling!

I would say a quiche /ˈkiːʃ/ requires eggs whereas a tart doesn’t (necessarily), and I have no idea what a key-tch-zah is, we don’t have them in the UK. A quiche is a type of tart though, yes.

I’m more of a pizza than that bloody flan! :P

SLA? If that means something like “service level agreement” (I don’t know, you didn’t specify, I’m guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.

And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.

I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.

You can call anything a pizza if you want. It becomes a useful term if it’s commonly understood by your audience.

Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.

No judgement but here in the UK this is more like what we’d call a flan than a pizza or a pie. So instead of arguing about pizzas and pies, why not embrace a third category?

If you’re talking ethics, I think the most important thing is that the user controls what their software does. YouTube videos are hosted on the web, and fundamentally people can choose how to display web sites on their own computer. Of course, if YouTube doesn’t like this it’s their prerogative to not host their content like that.

It’s not an ad-blocker, it’s a wide-spectrum content blocker which is necessary for security.

It was the AMA that was the last straw for me, on top of everything before. It had been going downhill, but that was where I lost all hope it would improve.

If it were a new platform and somebody wanted to try that I’d at least watch what happens, but Musk has burned through too much credability.

You don’t have to reveal your gender on here.

What does “cloudflare so who cares lol” mean exactly?

Cloudflare is so good that you don’t even have to care about your privacy because they’ve got it covered?

or

Nobody who uses Cloudflare would care about privacy, and for some reason that’s worthy of a “lol”?

or what?
