Them being able to offer this service, and them proxying 30% of the internet are completely unrelated. Any other company could offer this scrape protection if they wanted, with roughly the same cost of entry.

You can hate cloudflare all you like, but only a certified dumbass would try to pretend this feature is somehow enabled by their market dominance…

“WYGIWYG” - love it

Yes

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

Not sure whether timeshift supports multiple systems per partition, but I’d be very surprised if you couldn’t create separate partitions for each PC

Oh, it wasn’t bought… It was bough

This is legal? BRB just setting up my own “repair service”

Google operates the same way, and unfortunately individual schools don’t have the expertise to go open source. Needs to be a government program to host the open source solutions - could save heaps of money that way too.

They provide .deb files. I didn’t hunt any further than that

You will be fine. I game on mint with an Nvidia card. Steam has a setting to fall back to proton for all games without native Linux, and for everything off steam use Lutris (install it from the website, since the package manager version is too old to be useful)

What I like is that the products are good and that the company doesn’t engage in shitty exploitative business practices

IT Crowd is cringe even for British humour, and has an unusual level of absurdity too

Fair

Assume nothing

The article doesn’t say that you must support all people’s names, only that you should make fewer of the assumptions (not even none)
