You can try to help fund ladybird maybe? But it is still in development.
Or they could potentially ban Cloudflare from having servers/property in Japan. Which considering the economic importance of Japan in the Asian sector, might actually be something Cloudflare would want to avoid.
It's like the false positive/negative game. If you are an actual person, then waiting a week or two for your account to mature in age is but a mere inconvenience to you. In comparison, keeping all the fresh spam/bot accounts off the platform is much more difficult. So the general consensus is to slightly inconvenience new users in the beginning in favor of having a better community in the longterm.
I thought that stance was mostly to prevent people from unintentionally running extremely insecure servers on the web, if they didn't even have a basic idea of what is going on. (Servers, which could then become parts of botnets etc.)
That being said I am a bog fan of the pikapods service. I think what they provide is similar to what you are talking about.
Because it is an authoritarian regime now, and not a state of law and order anymore.
Slightly off topic, but is there still no viable Minecraft fork?
Maybe I missed something in the original article, but where are you getting the info that these extra requirements would expire if the PSF held the money for two years?
I am glad that PSF is not bowing to these requirements in order to get the grant.

Arguably sometimes drivers for older devices are more likely to have been ported to Linux at some point then conpletely new devices.

That's not always great either though because if the AI miss-localizes things, end users in that language wont even know that their documentation is incorrect. Better to have incomplete than wrong documentation. At least then the end user will know they have to try to read a different language. It might be good to use AI to create an unpublished first draft that is then polished by a person before publishing, though it seems the AI is not good enough to be useful in that manner.
