If Spotify isn't running for whatever reason, or sometimes even if it is, Apple Music decides that what I actually want is for it to steal focus for 5 seconds while it loads, switch to a full screen window and pester me to subscribe.

So in my case, the button click is intentional but the response isn't.

If you don't use it for things like this you don't really see any disadvantage. Occasionally I get cloudflare or vercel blocked when trying to read a blog but that's all.

So they're at a very strange intersection of using graphene but wanting to do exactly the kind of that is difficult on graphene. And just to be able to chat on PSN.

You're right though, different threat model.

Two weeks later it had spammed 50GB of logs to the disk and was idling at 11GB RAM. With zero repos and zero active users. I don't want a git interface to be full of bloat.

That's why I don't like it. I'm moving a client from gitlab to forgejo at the moment.

First is the corporate push for AI. We are constantly getting told to "use AI for X" and not "explore if it makes sense to use AI for X". It's pretty obvious that quality doesn't matter, only cutting staff costs does, and I dread to think how software and service will look in 5 years.

The second part is how people use it to do their work without shame. You can't get a bug report without someone saying "here's what Claude thinks". Great, is it right? I can ask Claude myself, at least verify. Outage reports will be summarised and pushed by AI without anyone verifying. I have to argue with a bot to get my PRs through, and nobody reads anything anymore.

It's not that AI can't be useful it's that it seems like nobody cares how good the quality is, only that it does the work.

While not free, you can do with with TCP HAProxy streams on a cheap VPS. A lot of people using them to bypass NAT don't realise that Cloudflare decrypt the traffic on the way - that's what I meant about them not knowing better.

Of course, they probably don't, but the fact that they can and that their policies now influence XX% of internet traffic is bad for the open internet.

CF serves something it convinced customers they need.

Static blogs hiding behind bot protection (in some cases blocking legit users from GrapheneOS because it's difficult to fingerprint them) because someone convinced them they'll be DDoSed by bots otherwise is a loss to the Internet.

A lot of self-hosters running CF tunnels because they don't know better also contributes.

> It's more healthy to start the conversation of _why_ CF services are valuable.

Begging the question. It's what TFA is about - telling people they need CF.

Given that they wrote their goodbye post using LLMs and gave up after such a short amount of time, I don't take that at face value the same way I don't believe AI layoffs

Anyway I was reading through the newly published articles on Bear's discover tab and found this article on there with no upvotes. It's the first time I've seen something go from obscure to frontpage HN

Damn, even Meta have joined the dark side?
