If a restaurant served you a perfectly-cooked steal with a cockroach on it, would your feedback be "It was perfectly cooked, but there was a cockroach on it"?

2025 is coming to end and some people who claim not to be fascists are still associating themselves with fascist outlets like X.
I claim, perhaps charitably, that it's because they don't understand how the internet works. Either way, this needs to change.

DNS over QUIC sounds good:
