"No way to stop this" says the person actively making this happen.

Ah, cognate to the German „Fach“ and the English “fact”. That makes sense.

And the reactionaries tends to campaign by painting the educated, the scholars, the researchers, and the professors as the enemy. Wonder why, huh?

I just wish they'd realise sooner. Imho nobody is born an arsehole, they have that instilled upon them. If only we could break that cycle…

A kind reminder that the internet, the world wide web, and TCP/IP were all invented by a public-civic partnership, not the private sector.

Genuine question from someone equally amateurish. What use is reverse proxy in this setup? What necessitated it instead of just a direct connection?

Intrusive thoughts happens to the best to us, mate. You still realise it's harmful, so you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. 🫂

Damn it. :<

I know he's a terrible person, but I couldn't help but pity him for how utterly ignorant of the harm he's causing. (。╯︵╰。)

Good. At least now he'd realise the harm he's causing.

My response to "don't mistake incompetence for malice" is usually "that applies to regular people. When it comes to governments, I think both malice and incompetence should be a disqualifying factor."

Quite. I think that's also why we're on the Fediverse, right? While so many of our tech is captured by corporates, we still have room to not accept it all laying down. That's what negotiation means, drawing your own boundaries, and as much as I hate saying it, picking your own battles, while realising not many will be willing or able to fight the same ones you do.
