Well yes that’s obvious

It’s supposed to be publicly funded, not traded

Someone a long time ago must have misheard

“Tim onion” got an irl lol out of me

Isn’t state controlled re-education another one of these big bad things that only evil commies do according to these knuckle-draggers?

Imagine the cinemas we’d have if this lot were running the show after a life of everything they do being projection

Once again, Orban says exactly what Putin wants him to say

At some point it becomes malicious to even print what he says

If a country is actively invading another we usually don’t permit them in international sporting events.

The fans should never have been there, they should never have been welcome until the war is over.

For everyone not aware, given everything else that’s going on—yes, that’s world war

I doubt this comment is for anyone reading but:

If you support this, you are a bad person, a literal caricature villain.

Basically in my experience, when it comes to smart lights it’s generally just worth springing the extra for Philips Hue (and using the hub, not just in Bluetooth mode) unless you want to waste your time and money with other brands. Nothing else seems to be remotely as reliable and easy to work with—and I have zero patience for having to perform tech support on my house lighting.

I’m glad to hear you got your bulbs working though

You’d have thought they’d have learned from losing the browser monopoly they had 15 years ago due to complacency

99% of their “innovation” comes from pubic sector academia or stuff NASA already figured out anyway.

IMO SpaceX shouldn’t have exclusive rights to any of it, really

The only thing they’re really bringing to the table is money. NASA could be doing exactly the same stuff if the government actually treated it as a priority.

Putting everything else aside:

Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?

Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?

I think that would categorically be world war at that point. I was more going on about seriously denouncing this kind of thing as being on the road to world war, before we get to that point

So when do we start seriously saying this is looking like we’re escalating into world war here?

And people will be going to prison for this, right? Ballot boxes will have definitely been put in view of CCTV, right?

I have a voice in my role, but I’m not going to pretend I’m the only person at the company.

I’m more making the point that your single voice will not be sufficient to affect direction regarding cloud provider choice in a big enough company, that dice was probably already rolled a decade ago. I’m not saying it’s impossible or anything, but you’re gonna need to come up with an incredible business case for throwing away years of hundreds of engineers’ work building on top of platform A for a costly switch to platform B all for no customer benefit.

Now vice had its problems, but how the fuck was this goon one of the co-founders?

History tells me that if the US is disenfranchising a group of people, it’s usually racism

That mentality only works in the “adopting cloud” stage. Vendor lock-in is real, and AWS was doing what it does long before there even were competitors, let alone ones with feature parity.

If you start a job somewhere of any reasonable size with incumbent AWS infrastructure, switching to another provider will be an uphill struggle in the best possible circumstance and in most cases it will be a Sisyphean exercise that’ll probably end up with you out of a job before the AWS bill goes down
