Nope. You’re the USER. A concept that is as old as computing and yet has gone completely by the wayside recently with the corporate monopolization of the internet.

Good to see it making a comeback.

Why the fuck do people equate being vehement with a fucking “bad day.” Maybe I’m just not a wallpaper paste motherfucker and have stronger opinions than your average wankbag.

I’m EXTRA STRENGTH WANKBAG.

Does any of that make you think it’s SUPPOSED to be new user friendly?

They don’t have to be. They also don’t have to be federated.

You are entirely ignorant of how anything works. There’s no “liability” unless they seriously fuck a goat. Downtime is expected and, in fact, built into contracts. X amount of downtime for service, Y amount for unforeseen circumstances, Z amount for shiggles. There may be some prorating built into it, but even that will be after a certain amount of downtime.

No matter how you slice it the only reason anyone uses cloud services is to cut costs. There actual facts simply do not pan out when you’re talking about security.

What you’re saying here is literally a punchline in infosec because of how many breaches are down to incompetent cloud service providers, because said cloud service providers take security about as seriously as the aforementioned c-suite does.

*EDIT No, the c-suite thing doesn’t make sense. Shut up. I recast this post and removed a bit. I don’t need your approval. I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS

Good point. Who the hell hosts their own server anymore?

During the pandemic VC slowed to a crawl and the stock market went to shit. While the market eventually rebounded VC is doing so MUCH more slowly. VC scum doesn’t care about innovation, it cares about making money. If there’s some level of risk it shrinks like balls in a January pool and it takes forever to coax the little guys out.

I want to be mad but FFS Reddit had Conde Nast money for most of its shittery so they had NO excuse except incompetence.

At least Fediverse servers are typically Steve’s old laptop or some shit so it’s understandable.
