Honestly, using the cloud to "right provision" can save a company money or at least give them great flexibility.
The problem? Companies over provision in the cloud and most of that goes unused.
When it's cheap and easy to spin a new instance under load but later no one cares about doing capacity analysis, you end up paying for way more than you need. That's where the money goes.

Your signature is your mark. Uniquely identifying. It doesn't need to be your name.
I originally signed with name and last name plus a squiggle. I got tired of that and many years ago I changed it to my 4 letter first name barely legible. Way better more consistent than the variance writing my full name.
Butnintinknwe aware saying the same. Cursive is illegible, so. A bunch of squiggles is good enough. Some people call it cursive.
Note: other than nostalgia, I don't understand why cursive. Barely legible even by the original writer.
Oh my friend. You haven't figured out that the Democrats are just really "right light" without a backbone?
Would've they been better than Trump? 100% yes. But anything can be better than Trump's Republicans.
There is no real social left movement in the US. Maybe Bernie and AOC get close to it but still quite centrist.
So, the Democrats are the right throwing some social crumbs around but supporting regressive policies. Once people realize that, a real social movement can start.
Well, I know a senior person, retired epidemiologist who is anti covid vaccine because "no vaccine developed so fast can be safe".
It hard containing my self from telling her that from her time as an epidemiologist to now, technology has changed and that they've studied mRNA vaccines for a long time so fighting a particular strain of virus is easier as the whole process has already been successfully tested. However, her family trusts her, she has the credentials and I don't, so it should be up to another epidemiologist with proper credentials to explain that. Not me.
It's like an old engineer saying that current structural calculations in buildings can't be trusted because it used to take months/years of hard work and now they can be done in a fraction of the time with computers.

I think for me the wave has more peaks and valleys.
I get to the last stage of good knowledge and decent confidence but then something new comes and I feel I'm ready for punishment again.
My first Valley of despair was Gentoo. 6 months of constantly compiling stuff and rarely using the computer for anything else. But a bit before that it was Fedora. In those early days, updates would continuously break my system.
In that first round I finally settled for Mint for years. After years of stable Linux Mint, I found my self with time and curious for Arch. And yes, that became the new l valley of despair. But eventually my stable instance.
But new things come and Wayland and new sound systems replaced what I had in my installation. Arch was again the valley of despair. And moved to Fedora, which is as stable as stable can be. I was traveling for the last two years so, no time to mess around.
Now back to arch trying to figure out the Wayland/Niri ecosystem. Let's see where I land.
However, in my dual boots I always have a working installation I'm happy with and another which I mess up with.
Let's start a conspiracy theory. Although these days everything can be true:
It was heroine but someone in the police department syphoned the heroine, replaced with water and agreed with the defendant that they'll get a slap on the wrist if they followed along.
So, now, someone has some heroine on sale!
There may be technical things we may not like about Ubuntu, but Ubuntu has been the flagship distribution which has brought countless people into Linux. After that introduction, many have gone to other distros.
There are successful distributions based on Ubuntu, so Ubuntu doesn't limits choice or freedom.
I don't understand shitting on financial success of FLOSS. Remember, free as in freedom, not necessarily as in beer.
Ubuntu doesn't prevent you, technically or legally from disabling snaps.
I rather not use Ubuntu, though but I think the impact has been a net positive.
Why not?
The word "can" Is doing some heavy lifting here. I mean, there is a difference between theoretically possible and actually being done.
Beat me to it. That was my first thought.
I don't have a soul, so probably I remain the same.
