There has to be some side effects to you physical and mental health for being a compulsive liar for a living. I mean is that why the whole Trump administration either looks drugged or held together with botox?

Well what did we expect? Why else I'd Trump hold his inauguration on MLK day? Black people don't matter to white supremacists

One thing the AWS outage should show is that these companies are far more embedded at the institutional level than people think and that’s precisely why students were asking their universities to disinvest rather than pushing individual boycotts.

I’m sure this morning’s AWS outage will wake us up to the hazards of being overly reliant on a handful of corporations to provide infrastructure. I look forward to the nation uniting and demanding changes to — nevermind Wordle is back up, everything’s fine.

Looking at the list of what games, apps, and companies rely on AWS should expose how terrible it is that Amazon has so much control over these things. This company is too big and we need to call them out on it

This AWS outage has revealed to me that more platforms run on Amazon products than I thought, and it should be a cautionary tale of just how fast shit can be taken from you when you allow corporations to be this big with little competition.

AWS incident is why decentralization is more important than ever.

Too much power. Too much concentration risk for humanity.

Decentralize everything.

Everything everything.

Everything.
