Genuinely surprised that Western media painted the CDU a salvation front against the AfD, but their Wahlsprogramm was equally, if not more bigoted and extremist than the AfD (at least on paper)

Mb, I should’ve mentioned “covertly” supporting Hamas.

Secular Palestinian Political Organisations existed, Bibi supported Hamas specifically to weaken the secular flanks, because it’s way easier to justify a genocide against Hamas

Sooo… we only need the AfD to win in Germany to get the old gang back together? /s

Why was he given team orders anyway? If anyone, Gasly should’ve gotten team orders cause Colapinto was on much fresher tyres (not that it matters for a P18 or whatever)

The current Labour government believes it can revive the economy via incantation if it yells Growth 3 times in the mirror at midnight

I think most companies don’t have a three nines SLA with their customers, yet were sold the idea that cloud (… and then serverless) should be the right decision for them.

When the initial cloud migration happened I’ve seen a handful of startups and scale-ups go bankrupt doing lift and shift

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with what you’re saying, my point is more towards the tribal consensus that was built in the tech community around 2016-2018 that the cloud is the future, for everyone, and that managing your own infrastructure is being a brute

I was going to reference this Medium article on how paying extra for “uptime” and reliability isn’t just a 50-100% premium, but many times a 7-8 figure premium. These figures are make or break a business model type figures.

The irony is that Medium, a site hosting mostly static content, is still down due to the AWS outage.

pay a premium for the same amount of CPU & RAM you could've gotten from your classic VPS provider fire your sysadmins and hire DevOps Engineers at 2x the salary raise a ticket with AWS and wait every time you need more than 5 instances of the same compute type oops, our biggest DC got knocked offline, here's some compute time credits

the cloud has been the biggest scam in tech history

For me, this documentary was the missing piece when trying to answer: "why does it seem like, in most liberal democracies, despite the revolving door of governments and parties in power, nothing changes".

Labour: your nan will freeze to death in her house this winter, but aren’t you glad we gave more money to Israel?

Is Keir Starmer a politician or a stenographer for the state of Israel?
