tech review; cloudflare 

cloudflare is really pushing remote browsing, where a cloudflare server renders a website for you and sends you vector graphics of the website. good idea? no?

like first things first, this shit is inaccessible. no kind of accessiblity tree is passed through. fuck that

second, what about uh, end to end encryption? i get that cloudflare already mitms you by proxying servers, but now they want to proxy clients too?

:boost_ok: indigenous land destruction, current, action links in reply 

"Breaking: Judge Steven Logan has denied an Apache injunction to halt destruction of Oak Flat by mining giant Rio Tinto.

He quoted a case saying, "The exclusive right of the U.S. to extinguish Indian title has never been doubted. And whether it be done by treaty, by sword, ... by purchase, by the exercise of complete dominion adverse to the right of occupancy, or otherwise, its justness is not open to inquiry in the courts."

Oak Flat is set to be transferred to Rio Tinto as private property for mining on March 11th."

current slavery, Ivory Coast, cocoa, legal action 

"Eight children who claim they were used as slave labour on cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast have launched legal action against the world’s biggest chocolate companies. They accuse the corporations of aiding and abetting the illegal enslavement of “thousands” of children on cocoa farms in their supply chains.

Nestlé, Cargill, Barry Callebaut, Mars, Olam, Hershey and Mondelēz have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Washington DC by the human rights firm International Rights Advocates (IRA), on behalf of eight former child slaves who say they were forced to work without pay on cocoa plantations in the west African country."

@thufie Does it get warm before it freezes? It could be overheating. If so, you could try reapplying the thermal paste and blowing out dust.

@thufie That could be bad ram. You could try running each stick alone for a while and see if it happens. Does it lock up like that frequently?
