I know, I know, capitalism and we all (shit, I know EYE do) have more important things to worry about.

But, still. You'd think SOMEBODY of some means wouldn't want this to happen as much as it has. It's almost a yearly event.

What I'm tripping on is this has happened repeatedly. I remember my first AWS outage (try explaining this to anyone 11+ years ago) like, this won't happen again. And, like, no one has tried to implement something different? Like none of the big players. Idk, fam. Idk.

This AWS outage has revealed to me that more platforms run on Amazon products than I thought, and it should be a cautionary tale of just how fast shit can be taken from you when you allow corporations to be this big with little competition.

Having to parent your parents when much of your childhood was spent being educated (euphemism AF) to not talk to them like you're on level footing is not in the getting older handbook.

You'd think all these repeated AWS outages and their impact would be the impetus to move toward something else. Alas.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

The things, ideas, beliefs, what have you that people choose to cling to as everything crumbles around us is.. something.
