I'd be interested to see your evidence for such a statement and better understand what exactly makes you think Cloudflare's mission is to build a proprietary network?

Pretty much most if not all of Cloudflare's services and work suggest the complete opposite to me.

Like other commenters, Cloudflare for me is probably one of the only companies I truly trust. I'm not saying that because I'm a big user of there services in fact 1.1.1.1 is the only service I actively use.

aranw··on Spotify to Apple: Time to Play Fair
This reminds of the whole browser war situation with Microsoft many years ago which Microsoft was forced to allow other browsers. It, however, feels different from Apple who seem to be able to just get away with this behaviour unchallenged.

Awesome hopefully stop seeing random "liked" tweets in my feed. Now if only they fix tweets resurfacing when replied or retweeted then I might actually enjoy standard Twitter apps
aranw··on New Evidence of Hacked Supermicro Hardware Found in U.S. Telecom
I've been wondering if Google and Google Cloud is affected by this? Does anyone know who Google uses to build the custom motherboards that they use? Also how does something like the Titan Chip [0] help protect against such attack?

I'm curious to understand if theres anything that can protect against this?

I'm guessing the costs around NVIDIA cards is why Google are pushing there own TPU's and building custom chips and hardware?

aranw··on Uber says it gave U.S. agencies data on more than 12M users
This only mention's the data within the U.S. and U.S. Riders but would be interesting to see what countries try request regarding Riders from outside of there country. For example has the U.S. government agencies been requesting data for Riders in other cities/countries from around the world and have they given said data or not?

aranw··on London’s Great Exodus
> A great way to fund it: allow those foreigners seeking investments to fund them and rent them out.

Your missing the point of this post, and the point of a lot of these comments. People don't want the foreigner investors funding these things as they then own the property stopping people who actually want to live there owning them. That's why people are moving out of London, that's why property is so expensive. Rich foreigners are buying the property for investments, making other properties more expensive.

Easier when setting up via a website/frontend yes, but if I'm programming a script, I can just copy/paste the app token and user key and am done... Send a curl request and I have notifications straight away.

aranw··on Kim Dotcom Releases New Raid Footage Captured By In-House CCTV
Wow you really have no idea do you?

Seriously just cause you live in the US and everything is over the top including police force, that doesn't mean its the norm. I can ensure you police force in the US and the use of guns is over the top and unjustified, so was this in the case for Dotcom.
