Earlier quoted context omitted.

When you see a group of people being critical, you can either see it as a “bummer”, or you can see it as people critically thinking about a thing. Is it really more useful to have everyone expressing how much they like something instead of identifying problems? Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why?

I think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies. > Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I think HN should be a place where I am excited to see what others have to add. When I see a post I am excited to see what takes and spins others have on it. I do want real criticism and a lively debate about import…

> Is seeing people talking about the things they don’t like something that makes you unhappy? Why? Probably (I'm just assuming) because that person observes negative/cautious/"I don't like this because X and Y and also Z"/etc sentiment too much and feels like people are only quick to notice issues while forgetting about good sides. It's only an assumption, though.

Wow the people in this thread are a huge bummer. This is much cooler and I doubt this is a real safety issue. You can already sign up for a free cloudflare account and deploy it for free, on your own, on a free workers.dev domain. The friction removal here isn't going to meaningfully change the security / amount of malicious content.

Corporations acting as if naive is a bit of problem in reality. For one thing, CF is probably the largest entity serving pirated content internationally while hiding the identities of actual perpetrators for privacy . Same here: CF is basically giving malicious actors an ability to ship contents/data publicly while laundering the legal responsibility of those actors. Now tell me what is cool

That's awesome, glad to hear it

There needs to be another rule against being a techno-sycophant.

Piracy is cool. Information wants to be free.

I hate the corporate bootlicking that is so prevalent here.

To the curmudgeon, its techno-sycophancy to say the wheel is a pretty good thing.

It’s just another take on shill / sheeple / etc. it gets old.

And to the sycophant, pointing out real and obvious drawbacks is being a curmudgeon.

Well according to the people in this thread it was previously impossible for bad actors to host a website, and CloudFlare has now given them this unique ability.

Why would Cloudflare do that? They shouldn't help bad actors.

Tried uploading a ZIP and got: "Something went wrong An unexpected error occurred. Please try again or contact support."

When contacting support: "Please upload a screenshot of the error by dragging a zip of the png file."

Please zip the contact by dragging a support of the screenshot.
