By that logic shouldn't they just shut down the instance? There's nothing to stop anyone posting direct links to piracy in any comm

Were there any links to torrents though?

While that's fairly typical and good practice in dev circles, we're talking about a company that's single handedly elevated an entire OS to prevent a big company taking too much power. I think the key here is they don't really compete with Google.

Start during a national lockdown and don't leave the house/go on video calls for several months/years.

No doubt you're right about some middle management and I see this said a lot. Anecdotally I don't believe I've met any middle management that want to be back in the office. If I'm honest I don't think I've ever met middle management that enjoys middle management, it's a ton of fucking stress keeping senior management happy with heir batshit detached requests and interpreting it into something moderately sensible so individual contributors can be productive and actually achieve the shit that needs done.

Meanwhile Steve can't seem to wrap his head round the fact that just because he likes formatting his code a particular way isn't a good reason to ignore the team coding standards, Cheryl and Sushant have decided to book expensive holidays for the same week without clearing the leave first - so I'll be spending Christmas supporting the app on top of everything else even though I booked it off in the system in January and ultimately I hate this fucking job because I can't do the thing I'm actually fucking good at.

They were all basically at it, it's the only way the emissions and performance numbers could be hit.

Is there anything that would prevent some kind of proxy stripper? I'm thinking something that loads the page with a clean agent, strips out the shit and serves a nice clean page?

Definitely beyond pihole as it stands, but doable.

GIMP + Inkscape UI refresh and I'd fund the shit out of that.
