    I bet it’s sisu, the (supposedly positive…) pigheaded determination and stoicism that we’re famous for.

    “It’s fine, I don’t need to rest. Give me a cold compress and I’ll be OK; I’ll have someone reattach the other leg after work.”

    Funnily enough the Finnish version of that mnemonic definitely sounds super racist:

    Kylmä (cold)
    Koho (form of “raise/rise”)
    Kompressio (probably obvious, I hope)

    KKK (aka. the 3 K treatment)









  • Well, it’s definitely not optimal, but I doubt they have any say in the project’s direction, so I’m OK with this as long as there’s no proof of shady shit going on.

    I’d rather they take the money (as long as Cloudflare isn’t using the threat of pulling funding as leverage to affect development) than refuse it on the grounds of Cloudflare being a shit company; having alternative browser & JS engines is more important than ideological purity, imo.

    Like I said, not optimal, but not a lot is nowadays…
