If Russia blocks security updates, that's worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.

I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you'll see you're pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you're missing a lot, if you've blacklisted them).
Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. "Only" 22% is still a lot in my book.
I'm interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?
If you're blocking everything that's proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.
I guess my argument would be that you can choose/configure Linux to use many of the Windows conventions, whereas Mac has its own way of doing things that need learning.
The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it's just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
I'm sitting here trying to replicate what that sounds like from your description and I've only succeeding in sounding like a madman.
You pronounce the t in hot and then pronounce the p of potato?
VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now
Article includes screenshot from The Mummy Returns which is from 2001 and is therefore old enough to watch any of the other films mentioned.
I don't know either - it could be purposely wrong to indicate that the figures aren't included, or to get attention via the mistake/meme. Or just that lots of people are fuzzy on the many Star * IPs.
I'd assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I'm not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don't see how you'd know if each server chose that option so I guess it's more like "servers with green hosting companies".
You're forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It's definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.
