   thinking about how maybe shoveling our entire world through one chokepoint that also MITMs our TLS was a bad idea

     the solution to fascist mitm chokepoints is not to use them because they're cheap and convenient, it's to decrease the barriers to doing what they do: i.e. to upskill more people into being able to understand web architecture, cdns, and caches

     i may or may not have worked at one of them. i appreciate the science. it's really odd how people dog-whistle "inclusion", "openness" and "transparency" but seemingly only when it's convenient and lends to their own distorted and technically-inaccurate narrative.

     imo it demonstrates a lack of understanding and an even higher level of ignorance.

     They blocked me for pointing out knowing how CDNs work doesn't make them any easier to setup and operate.

     The irony of mistaking critique for oppression never gets old.

     @dsm @atax1a yes, and then they assume you're some sort of bigot and use the "nazi" and "fascism" label to oppress you. thus becoming de facto fascist.
     
     really sad. i like discussing technical issues. it's a shame many people can't put their bullshit aside to discuss. especially when the points they made were incorrect.
     
     oh well. i'll take my block notification now.

     your sign is ~3 years old. perhaps you should consider your post-scope if you're not interested in viewpoints other than your own?

     ~20% of our entire world.
     
     > cloudflare
     
     it has it's use-case for business and what not and does a very good job at what it does. i wouldn't recommend it for someone who has a relatively decent skill-set
     
     > fascism
     
     cloudflare is agnostic to this problem. people are the vector.
