I like it when even Cloudflare starts to de-Google-ify.

imagine if windows was like android, and microsoft released a new windows version but you had to wait several months for dell/hp/acer/whatever to update their weird windows build with shitty custom theming and candy crush permanently installed, but even when dell finally updated their windows build from a 6 month old version to a 3 month old version, you don't get it straight away because your laptop is a t-mobile dell so you have to wait even longer, and after two years one of microsoft or dell or t-mobile say "fuck it" and just stop supplying upgrades and you're stuck on Windows 10 October 2015 Edition for all eternity

@obi Yup, I fear a repeat of 911 where the fear completely gutted basic rights.

Yikes.
Quora is becoming more like Facebook in its mysterious deletion of accounts.

I only caught the one below because of email notifications. This used to be "Christopher Smallwood" who replied to one of my comments. Now, he's just a meaningless string of numbers; I imagine all of his other posts have been deleted as well.

Thank god for these email notifications, or I would never know about this.
