Yeah there's some weirdness too, it's heavily optimised for the Deck, low rez textures, low shadow quality etc.

So if you force it to run on your Linux desktop you don't get an experience commensurate with your hardware.

And now I'm older with a well paying job I find myself having to do the opposite calculation.

Things like, "Actually I will get an uber instead of the bus, so I can spend more time at the party."

Wow, calflegal. That's not just good insight, it's smart thinking.

I think you're correct — there's a lot of LLM generated content here!

Oh this feels very 2600. Makes me wish I hadn't cancelled my print sub a while back.

Do you not pay to reimport the (e.g.) Colombian market cars back into the USA?

Wouldn't import tax make that nonviable?

It's telling that to defend Apple against the charge of stagnation you immediately attacked Windows.

I took a screenshot of the graph in cloudflare when I switched on the bot challenges.

https://i.ibb.co/qHCJyY7/image.png

I wrote the below to explain to our users what was happening, so apologies if the language is too simple for a HN reader.

- 0630, we switched our DNS to proxy through CF, starting the collection of data, and implemented basic bot protections

- Unfortunately whatever anti-bot magic they have isn't quite having the effect, even after two hours.

- 0830, I sign in and take a look at the analytics. It seems like is very popular in Vietnam, Brazil, and Indonesia.

- 0845, I make it so users from those countries have to pass a CF "challenge". This is similar to a CAPTCHA, but CF try to make it so there's no "choosing all the cars in an image" if they can help it.

- So far 0% of our Asian audience have passed a challenge.

I did! It's very cool tech. However for our config it was easier to slap CF in front of it.

I will say one very appealing use of Anubis I'd love to try is using it as a Traefik middleware to protect services running in docker containers.

It actually is.

I run a small video game forum with posts going back to 2008. We got absolutely smashed by bots scraping for training data for LLMs.

So I put it behind Cloudflare and now it's down. Ho hum.

Whilst I appreciate you can do this, and some people have programs they need Windows for, I am sick of fighting my OS.

One thing I realised when I switched to desktop Linux was just how quiet it was.

It just sits there until I want to do something. It doesn't try and trick me into changing my default browser, or put adverts in my program launcher, or harvest my data.

It just runs my programs when I ask it to.

I use KDE Connect and discovered a feature I didn't know about the other day.

I was watching a youtube video on my computer and my phone rang. The video automatically paused whilst I had my call, then when I hung up, the video continued.

Totally seamless. The kind of thing Apple would show off as part of their "continuity" between macos and iOS.

Wow Amarok, that takes me back. I used to use KDE in the late 00s and it was head and shoulders over other music apps.

I'm absolutely loving KDE since I returned to desktop Linux after a long absence.

What really shocks me is how few of the big distros make KDE a default or "first class" DE choice. If I was a novice user coming from Windows, I'd much prefer KDE, which if you stick to the GUI is very navigable and similar in some ways.

We import from France mostly, via the interconnects between our countries' grids. That means it's probably mostly nuclear.

A better question would be:

Is it possible to restrict software installation and keep users free?
