Let's all note just how much market share cloudflare got before throwing this switch. While they took over a huge part of the web this sort of thing never happened. Now it seems very much harder to even attempt to browse with slightly

If you're a journalist you can't ask a swedish person if you've messed up any details? That's the point. It's so flipping easy to get the detail right.

No idea about whatever the hell this distinction you're touting is. As a user the infinite catchas are branded "cloudflare" So yes. I mean cloudflare. But don't pick a fight on the internet about it, set do not track in

Google itself no longer does search and does recommendation in its place. I hate it so much. They must have such an incredible moat if they aren't getting smashed by the competition by just doing actual search, with all the words in th

yeah maybe kinda? Lack of control of the dream there that makes a difference for mine. YMMV. Dunno when lucid dreaming was discovered. Was there something written down about it by one of the ancient greeks or similar vintage?

In trying to normalise search with no warrant nor oversight in the UK one would definitely expect its use against someone who is "us" but not really. One can't imagine this being done on a member of the house of commons, hous
