- Comment on If I can only find an artist on streaming platforms and no other search hits, does that most likely mean it's an AI generated artist? 1 day ago:
Funny you ask that. They almost sound procedural, however that could also be indicative of an average artist. Since I tend to list to house/lounge/downtempo, it can start to feel like that.

If you move FMA to the front it can kind of make sense. The FMA movie: Conqueror of Shambala showed the link to our world from theirs. Then FMP shows a post-future world of war that takes place after FMJ.

Bingo. Which goes to my point the ire should be at the companies more than AWS. And a lot of the big companies have more than enough money to handle it, but they’re greedy. But instead everyone is focusing on AWS, saying it’s a “monopoly” and needs to be “democratized”. It’s completely misplaced outrage IMO.

Yeah she’s thicc, but she shows it off with how powerful her legs are, so it actually fits her in more than just a sexual manner. The fact she could crush a watermelon with her thighs is just a perk.

My main point, which may have been buried in my quickness to type things, is that it is on the individual companies to choose how they design and architect their systems. This was only a problem in us-east-1. They could have used other AWS regions, they could have used Azure or GCP. They could have used a multi-cloud or hybrid solution, and none of this would be an impact.
AWS is offering infrastructure, but it’s still on the companies to decide how they’ll use it. The ire should be placed on them, just as much, if not more, for taking the easy way out.
Even if you were to have a co-op owned style cloud solution (democratized as it were). If companies choose to only host in one Datacenter/region it’s squarely on them.
A lot of these big names that went down have very poor infrastructure practices if a single region of a single provider took them out. It’s definitely not for lack of money on their part.

For starters: thank you for a thought out response. It feels like most people are missing the core point and just blaming the provider.
Even if there were a “public” public cloud, the underlying issue I’m getting at is with the companies that are using it. AWS has multiple regions. There are multiple cloud providers such as GCP and Azure too. Yet the companies are the ones defaulting to a single region, single provider configuration, which as we all know is still a SPOF, no matter what redundancy is built in.
To that point nowhere im saying that you can’t democratize things.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 1 week ago:
Fair enough there. But how do you “democratize” individual business decisions? Or are you suggesting socializing all entities?
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 1 week ago:
With your personal attack your handle suits you.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 1 week ago:
So that goes to my point that it’s on the companies that use the cloud providers. Not the cloud providers themselves.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 1 week ago:
“There’s a monopoly” — proceeds to list 3 separate providers. Don’t forget there’s also Akami, now we’re up to 4.
The issue is more so with companies that choose to use cloud providers. They’re the ones attempting to cheap out because they don’t want to pay infrastructure costs. You also have a lack of knowledge by engineers on how to create redundant/reliable systems.
Not everything on the internet went down. There’s plenty that was just fine. So I don’t really don’t know what “democratizing” it would gain, or how.

“Heating and water stuff” — that’s basically every form of power in the world safe solar and hydro. they all generally rely on creating steam to move a turbine, even nuclear.

And the air bladders have a leak that was usually dealt with by it being plugged in so it deflates and you’re left with a very flat and hard bed.

Seagate just broke up a massive counterfeiting ring where drives were being passed off as new and having their SMART values tweaked. That’s a good part of the reason they’re controlling the refurbs so that they can check them. It’s also why you saw Seagate getting hammered in the BB charts.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 2 weeks ago:
Dragon’s Age Origins. Had a friend tell me how it was their favorite franchise and that specifically was the best game, such amazing lore, gameplay, etc.
Couldn’t even make it past the first quest before I hung it out.
- Comment on The fact that users are encouraged to include text descriptions with media content makes it perfect training data for AI. 2 weeks ago:
Something I mention every time this comes up. AI doesn’t need to scrape Lemmy. All someone has to do is set up their own federated instance and AcitivityPub will wrap it up in a nice JSON format for them to parse however they want. And there’s fundamentally nothing a person can do about it.
It’s just best to realize anything and everything on Lemmy is publicly available for any use, good or bad.
- Comment on No One Wants A $100 GTA 6, Analysts Say 2 weeks ago:
If they had actually come out with the single player DLC for GTA5, I’d be more inclined to get 6 near launch. But the only way I’ll get it is if reviews show that the single player story and world are legit as-is, because i don’t trust them to add anything later.

And this is why i stick with Z-Wave/Insteon/etc. I have a local hardware controller that doesn’t have to be connected to the internet to work. It can be cloud controlled remotely, but if their service shut down tomorrow, it’d still be fully functional locally or if I exposed the server endpoint myself.
