  I try to pay attention to my surroundings because I like being alive. When I do wear headphones I put them in pass through mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you friends with any AI bots?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No and such a concept is ridiculous because it assigns "AI" with traits it simply does not possess and is completely incapable of ever having.

  It does not and cannot think, there is nothing to.befriend.

  You really don't see the risk of having no data centers you actually control as an organization? Maybe I misunderstood your initial statement? At first it sounded like we kind of agreed with each other but didn't understand that was the case at first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, Netflix had their own infrastucture in addition to other multiple redundant cloud services for their CDNs: You're kind of proving my point?

  Sounds like wild overpromising

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are still self hosted places today, not everything is cloud based.

  Also, there isn't more competition largely because of Amazon so, while I agree with the sentiment that it could improve things, in practice it's a moot point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is far more pervasive than any single incident, allowing a single megacorporation to control most of the Internet is a bad idea for many reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we want a truly robust system, yeah, we kinda do. This sort of event is only one of the issues with allowing a single entity to control pretty much everything.

  There are plenty of potential issues from a corrupt rogue corporation hijacking everything to attacks to internal fuck-ups like we just experienced. Sure, they can design a better cloud, but at the end of the day, it's still their cloud. The Internet needs to be less centralized, not more (and I don't just mean that purely in terms of infrastructure, though that is included of course).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to ditch cloud entirety and go in house again.

  Can't speak to the why but in practice, nobody ever gets punished for abusing DMCA takedowns and it's a widespread practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How OnlyFans Piracy Is Ruining the Internet for Everyone | Innocent sites are being delisted from Google because of copyright takedown requests against rampant OnlyFans piracy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  False DMCA takedowns need to be criminalized, companies have abused them for decades now.
