They are the stereotypical paper clip AI that will drain our blood to extract its iron content for more paperclips. Except it wants money.

Scala is quite well designed.
No, an alias will only give you pseudo-anonymity. Even trivial analysis like counting which words occur together frequently in your writings can reveal with very good accuracy any other alt of you, so the available information of you is basically everything you have shared online with enough accompanying self-written text.
The problem is that it uses WebSockets in a completely braindead way. There is absolutely zero reason to waste server resources on that for every single user. Of course it fails to scale..
It’s about GraalVM’s enterprise edition. The free version was.. free since forever.
HttpClient. You don’t necessarily need a third-party tool for rest calls or the like, and it really is quite handy!
Wait — it uses websockets for each and every user??! That’s just completely insane and of course it will fail to scale! There is zero reason for that, have specific live threads with websockets where it makes sense (though that is only mostly a one-way communication so even there it is an overkill), but for mostly static content it is just insanely inefficient.. surely I’m more than fine with that upvote appearing a minute later and not in “real time”!
Though to add: many things in your file system are listed as “files” in a directory, but are completely virtual with varying ways on what they do when written to/read from. (Also, linux has streams and files, not only files) E.g. /dev/null will read zeros, and discard data written to. But it has no physical backing.
