That’s honestly just a tin-foil hat sort of take, that entirely relies on planning for an unprecedented AWS outage specifically to screw over customers.

It’s honestly just a mistake for everyone: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

Thank you, I really appreciate this take.

Yeah I mean, we’ve been heavily influenced by the US and UK historically, so we have a deeply racist disposition. Our treatment of Indigenous Australians is as much of a blight on our history as it is for other English-speaking nations like the US, Canada and South Africa. I do still strongly believe we’re doing better in a lot of ways, for example we’ve started using indigenous place names, acknowledging traditional land ownership and other steps. But we’re far from perfect, and if you come here with that conceptualisation then you’ll definitely be disappointed.

I would say that’s a pretty minor issue that isn’t related to the functioning of the service itself.

Matrix is way more dark side in my opinion (this is a joke about how often it fluffs up, leaving you in the dark).

I would be surprised if Signal didn’t have a contract with another cloud provider as well, incase of this sort of thing.

Government’s also shouldn’t be incentivised to always go with the cheapest option during procurements and tenders. Price is not the only factor in a value calculation and it is insane that we just ignore that fact.

This is literally just a US skill issue, and just so you’re aware, folks in the rest of the world do exist on the internet.

I wouldn’t want my city traffic lights managed by a private company, because they’d try to cut costs and avoid building in redundant systems.

While they aren’t run by private companies, the traffic lights at the entrances to most housing estates are procured and installed by the developer, at least in Australia. Without fail, about 12-24 months later, the red and green LED lights will have half a dozen or more dead pixels on them. Meanwhile, newer LED lights installed by the roads department are still going strong years later.

Alright Belter, that’s enough jokes out of you, time for the hooks.

Wait, are you trying to make the argument that capitalists sell things for below cost???

No, they are cheaper at a grid-level power source level.

Okay, but I was pointing out how alternate energy choices are already cheaper than fossil fuels? Which is a fact…

You didn’t mention mining, you mentioned making alternate energy sources cheaper than fossil fuels. Considering the topic of the thread, I also didn’t connect that you might of meant the environmental costs.

The thing is, alternative energy sources already are cheaper than fossil fuels :(

The thing about hyperinflation is that it’s not a “real” force that occurs simply because there is more money in the system. It entirely comes from sociological reactions to there being more money in the system, mainly wage growth and capitalists reacting to that with price growth. So without tipping your hand, you could abuse the economic system quite a lot without sparking an inflationary crisis. Certain state actors, like North Korea and China, have counterfeited US dollars without causing any inflationary issues.

Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to say it was exclusively. It’s just really powerful for all women ☺️

Victorious is a trans woman anthem honestly. Listened to it a lot early in my transition.

fun fact: they don’t have private numbers anymore, so you can gather a bunch of random payphone’s numbers for shenanigans.
