Although it’s sad to see they put political messages in it now

[tfsh]

I think it's sad we live in a world where an unobtrusive acknowledgment of modern day slavery is adversely received.

[sammy2255]

I’m against slavery. I’m also against putting political messages into software

[mcluck]

Why?

[RadiozRadioz]

Same reason most people don't like banner ads. It's extra fluff the user didn't ask for, unrelated to the stuff they actually want to see. It's not the case here, but oftentimes the political messages can be large and distracting, think Notepad++. That's reason enough to dislike them, without getting into any of the "purity" arguments.

[nextaccountic]

You're against slavery, but not against doing the slightest gesture against it, even if it barely inconveniences you?

I would take those numbers with a grain of salt. That site claims I have a 3ms ping to a digital ocean droplet in Singapore. Either I have proven faster-than-light information transfer or that measurement is off by several orders of magnitude.

They could be using anycast, but the pings for Digitalocean seemed correct to me
