If you're annoyed at Microsoft, this might help you feel a little better.

Im the same on the physical books. And hand written notes as wild as physical personal management stuff (like calendars on walls).

I’m also similar in not always having been a computer person. What gets me to this thought is realising I had particular interests and values that got me into computing. I didn’t need to focus on them, or at least it didn’t seem like I had to. But they matter, and if they’re no longer compatible with the industry/world … then what’s the point?

Another point was learning that there are some out there going through the same even to the point of leaving computing, some who I even look up to.

One who I always liked up to and wanted to learn from recently posted that they hadn’t coded for nearly a year and that they didn’t need to go back. They used to run courses and workshops that I wanted to attend. But watching them leave made me think about this.

You should probably familiarize yourself with the concept of plurality…

What if this is all a mass conspiracy to drum up sales for Hudson News? What if it’s Big Airport Food Convenience Store behind it all? If they can charge $14 for a cold ham-and-cheese, they can do anything

@ariadne imagine how low the disaster stats will be once no planes are flying anywhere tho

nearly all communities or instances fail.

Define “fail”?

Yeah. It’s not like there’s a quarterly review for coolness or the sub goes away.

The thing that kills a sub is impatience by the founder.

Can you tell I like making little lidded jars? #pottery #ceramics #ClayArt #Art

@mattblaze @SteveBellovin remember the days when the cruelty was obfuscated and implicit instead of proud and bullying

character action hack-and-slay

AI sure is making flying easier

oh wait

@LeNouvelEssai Où est le problème ?

Ce serait bien plus malhonnête de dire le contraire. Et quand il dit « nous on triche pas », ce serait là idiot de dire le contraire.

Et puis faut définir tricher, aussi (souvent c’est ce que le commanditaire conclue du sondage qui est foireux, plus que le sondage lui-même – même si le fait d’avoir des échantillons si faibles, auprès de personnes rémunérées, pose aussi des problèmes sur le plan statistique).

Qu’on utilise les sondages pour manipuler, c’est un fait, que certains instituts trichent, probablement, qu’on décide de les dégager, pourquoi pas, mais présenter cet extrait comme problématique c’est absurde…

Im just saying Id love this shit not to be related to Microsoft or AI, because im going to need to fly again in the future and I dont need to invent a new anxiety problem for myself.

You could probably get a book published about this.

@realcaseyrollins so, this looks like a cascading failure related to network misconfiguration of some sort. Say you have a cluster of servers handling a bunch of traffic, some servers suddenly disappear, and the traffic then overloads the remaining ones.

This was not "server status API" going down, but an actual outage of actual servers handing production traffic.
