Of sites to be hit by the cloudflare outage, I did not expect git-scm.com to be one of them

@rysiek @sijmen Yeah, they definitely knew what they were doing.

Of course they had been sitting on this decision for the longest time - it was only a matter of time - and probably kept a close eye on what people were doing while they were doing a phased rollout

Just... it's such a shame that people are tolerating their bs

@rysiek it's amazing how the Chrome market share seems to have grown after they have started being hostile to adblockers

@jeder meanwhile on macos you still can't adjust individual applications' volumes (unless you buy a $45 application (there's an open-source alternative but it's broken af))

I'm starting to love checking fedi around this hour and just seeing @catsalad boosting tonnes of cat images

It's starting to feel like an evening ritual
