Am I missing something?

No and, in fact, this was (and still is) a selling point of Git over the alternatives (e.g. Subversion) available at the time that required you to “check out” some code and no one else could check out/modify that code while you had it checked out.

Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.

I’d argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

That’s because that’s exactly what they are.

No, no, the real problem is video games… and Dungeons & Dragons… and the mall of course… and comic books… and…

Pointless, no. Many (but yes, not all) extensions are still available to use in VSCodium.

ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).

Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.

I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

The internet IS decentralized.

Think of the up vote button more as a “this information is worth spreading” button than “I like or agree with this content”.

I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

If we always assumed the worst no one would buy/accomplish anything. This is not a realistic way to live. The best we can expect to do is making the best decision with the information we have at hand at the time. Of course a healthy dose of scepticism isn’t a bad thing either as long as it doesn’t get in the way of living a relatively normal life.

Thank you. This needs to be further up in the comments

My bill hasn’t changed but maybe I was grandfathered in.

Yes, I’m aware. Still as good at it’s always been

So this value should only be used as a horizontal comparison metric (i.e. one car to another) and a rough estimate of overall range, just like listed MPG has always been.

I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.

If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.
