Idk it kinda feels like the implication is that if you have due process, then this would be okay. I’m firmly in the camp that nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason

This is a really interesting read, but this dude missed a major component of best practices, which is that your architecture needs to be able to respond to a proper disaster, which includes Amazon just dropping out of the sky and nuking your entire account.

Frankly, it’s shocking that he didn’t have local copies or a home server that he kept backups too. I’ve seen some people mention that a multi-cloud architecture is hard to set up, which is true, it’s also expensive, but I don’t think it would be super hard to set up, like, a blob storage in Azure, or a Google Cloud Storage, to just keep backups of whatever you’re working on. We should always keep in mind that our accounts getting locked is always a possibility.

It’s kinda weird, normally when you hear about things like this, it’s the other way around where somebody was running a major production component on personal infrastructure and couldn’t handle the bare metal.

During the entire article I kept thinking how it wasn’t best practice to use the same cloud for everything, that you needed a different cloud because occasionally, your account can just get nuked from orbit. People dont understand that these corporations are really just held together with luck prayers and duct tape. Software enables us to develop in the worst ways possible, and then call it production.

Probably could have left out the words “without due process” because they should not be throwing people into an El Salvadorian gulag.

Good to know. Thanks for the additional info

I mean, that’s fair. I guess you could consider trans to be an attribute you’re born with, but I generally consider trans to be a part of our gender expression, which science has described as being incredibly fluid which is why we not only have trans people, but we also have genderfluid people, and non-binary people, and other varieties along that spectrum as well.

Need an FTC that would support that and we l, uh, don’t in a word.

Oh, I don’t think it’s a stupid rule at all. I completely agree with the fact that they have a rule. If people want a space like that, that’s totally fine by me. Just pointing out to this person that it’s not based on a biological imperative.

They allow trans women. They just want to a space to talk about women things away from men because men tend to say stupid shit when women want ro complain about us.

Don’t watch mainstream media and get some of your news from independent sources, like Ken Klippenstein. I get most of my news from AP News and then from the Politics section in Lemmy.

They’re mad about all of the human shit? What about all of the human bodies?

Bad press?

The internet was never designed to exist in a capitalist hellscape. It was designed for the free sharing of information by people putting random servers on the network.

I stopped using these guys when it became clear they were doing everything they could to prevent the government from developing their own app.

I tried using a wireless Logitech mouse the g305. Dead in a few weeks. I tried using the wireless steelseries Aerox 3 which only lasted a few weeks.

I ended up with SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir which is wired but has none of the issues I was having with the other mice. This would be my recommendation if you can stomach The Wire

Became initially during the API 3rd party bullshit and recently moved completely over after I got banned from Reddit.

US trade association News/Media Alliance announced it had secured the takedown of 12ft.io

Oh thats why that stopped working. Bunch of jerks.

We sent them $17.9 billion since Oct 2023.

That money could easily pay for United States Social Services multiple times

Yeah personally I don’t think Israel should have access to any more American Technology including missiles regardless of their use since they can be used offensively and they’re currently committing a genocide.

Until the Palestinians are free I think it’s pretty apt to just reject all forms of aid to Israel.

Also there’s quite a few people here defending “Zionism” which is disappointing to see.

Zionism has been described by several scholars as a form of settler colonialism in relation to the region of Palestine and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Zionism’s founders and early leaders were aware and unapologetic about their status as colonizers. Many early leading Zionists such as Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, and Ze’ev Jabotinsky described Zionism as colonization.
