I like the pixie better than CloudFlares. I forget the site but I hit one 
yesterday where you had to press the button for seconds as well as one 
where you had to select all the bicycles. I haven't seen one with the 
distorted text in a while. I always had a problem with those damn things.

Praise be, Fedora hasn't added it yet. Maybe I'll get more than 2 days 
uptime. Thankfully Fedora 45 isn't planning to include Plasma 6.8 
initially. iirc it was 40 where the paint wasn't quite dry on KDE, Qt, and 
Plasma.
