  • Ran into this. Was constantly denied time to properly load test and configure things. So it all went in with default values and high resources. Then they got the bill, throttled everything down, and then normal compute processing was missing SLAs measured in half-days.

    But look on the bright side. Every minute of the day programmers were typing, creating value, instead of wasting company money reading or thinking.

  • Skill, but mostly due to the company not investing in the time to train to do it right. The company just wants to start next week by saying "flip the cloud switch" and immediately see their costs go down, without any outages and without putting in due diligence.

    And sometimes the CEO/CIO/manger is too busy to coordinate training because the decision maker is busy on their "cloud provider training" for only them, in a Swiss Alps super swanky spa and resort.

  • Here on principle for the 3rd party apps.

    I realize the hardware and software cost money for a site. I'm ok with paying either by a friendly use of ads, or a decent subscription.

    I was on the verge of starting to pay for Reddit to stop the ads when I used the website. I happily paid for my 3rd party app. But that was right when Reddit nerfed the subscriptions and went to their current version. And then stopped the API.

    I happily paid for the Lemmy 3rd party app. I need to look into donating for the server.

  • The 5G mind control COVID shot let "them" beam false memories to everyone.

    It's very interesting how all of this mind control stuff was only done once and then disappeared. Just like the millions of migrant caravans with guns and drugs just before elections.

  • Wait, isn't this exactly what was done to the BLM Black Lives Matter supporter groups by anti-black people?

    Remember how BLM rallies across the country kept finding pallets of bricks randomly on the streets?

    For a movement that has no other organization, "somehow someone" organized to gather thousands of dollars per city to get pallets of bricks delivered to the middle of roads, and somehow police doing patrols the day before didn't question a random pallet of bricks in the street.

  • No.

    Things were very different "back then." Linux was less friendly at the time. And non-Microsoft products still had noticeable gaps. Web browser office suites didn't exist.

    The parts I remember reading were just that it took a long time for workers to get used to the system. Back then, home computers were uncommon for the average person. And what computer experience the average person did have was noticeably different from Linux.

    I did not see articles about tech issues such as viruses or data leaks or configuration issues. Please show any if you have them.

  • So, no, I didn't read it. But from that quick blurb, that's what happened in Florida. Voters voted to return voting rights to felons after their sentence was complete. The Republican run Florida government overruled what the people voted for and kept ex-felons from voting.

    (Based on my last understanding of about 2 or 3 years ago when this happened.)
