By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?

Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Might be a bit wrong on the piracy instance, but I never regretted paying for the Square Home Launcher (one-time purchase). I just absolutely love the Windows Phone style layout so much more than what other launchers offer.

Similar to what @azerial@lemmy.dbzer0.com described for the Total Launcher, adding or editing stuff requires you to enter a special “Edit mode” and it might seem unnecessary at first to ever leave this mode. It’s just so nicely customizable and thanks to cube-“folders” and regular folders nested into the cube sides, I have about everything I regularly use on one page.

Even though I agree that the piracy-route is easier and more comfortable, it’s good that account deletion isn’t as straightforward as a single button on the account page, without further verification. I certainly wouldn’t like to lose my Steam library just because my Steam account details were leaked once. A second and maybe even third separate step being necessary is smart for anything that involves a substantial amount of money.
