Just used it myself. Still very much working.

Y’know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.

Downvoted for downvoting pineapple 😡

Goddammit Loch Ness Monster!

That’s not just a hot take, that’s straight up nuclear.

It just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they’re doing make braindead decisions sometimes.

I was a little confused since I’m from America and am used to all utilities being privately owned, so I did some research. It does look like Japan’s government owns a majority stake in the company, specifically because of this disaster. The private stakeholders are still there but own minority stakes. So yeah, the government of Japan dropped the ball here. It’s strange that I read the linked article and they never mentioned the government once.

Yeah, sucks to have two in a row. I think the likelihood is a little low that I “won” the lottery twice. But statistics are weird. Either way, replaced it with a Fold 4 and love the new device.

Already seeing high latency for our instance. Guessing everyone realized the impending doom and created accounts on one of the easier instances to join. Welcome, fellow lemmings!

Dude, I’d ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I’m not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.

I’m a sysadmin. No one really knows what people in my profession do, so they just assume it’s all servers and computers. I’m all about the automation tools, though. With the right tools and credentials, you can install apps, create accounts, provision a new VM, parse through your emails, brew a cup of coffee, and let your wife know you’ll be home early so she can get rid of her boy toy before you get home…all with a single click.

This is legitimately one of my fave movies of all time

That looks delicious!

If you think about it from a security perspective, it makes sense. If a random person you don’t know sends you an email, the chances are non-zero that it contains something malicious. The provider has an obligation to filter emails that could be dangerous. They know that if a large email service sends an email, they have that same obligation and are therefore doing some filtering on their side to prevent malicious content. Trust is pretty important.
