Using robots for dreary drudge work could be a good thing with something like UBI to go along with it. But instead of fully automated luxury gay space communism, they will implement “Gilded Age 2.0: The Worser Dystopia”, instead.

Well, some of us have niche kinks, like dumping poo from a fighter jet. You won’t find that any ol’ porn hub site.

This is definitely a trap. It’s happening at the same time as the anti-porn crusade.

Dave explains the “long tail” of recovery:

Touring the country with a drum and bugle corps. One of the best years of my life. I would recommend the experience to all band geeks, though it’s hella expensive now.

Years ago I worked for a surgeon who was advocating that all surgical procedures in the hospital be video recorded, because it’s good for patients and providers. The pushback was strong. I don’t know if things have changed, but yeah, some doctors only see the liability, not the educational or self protection angles.

Shut up and take my money!

It is. I’ve never been one to stand in line for a new phone or whatever. But I definitely get a dopamine hit when I purchase “the perfect tool” for my hobbies and the like.

One trick I do is force myself to put the item on a shopping list or wishlist, and then sleep on it before buying. It’s interesting and useful to look back at all the crap on those lists that I did not purchase, and now no longer want.

Same with us. Had to reboot/restart a number of things, and resynch clocks.

There are some downstream / knock on effects going on which can be explained…but I can’t help but wonder if today’s story is bigger than just AWS. AWS saying it was an outage of a “few hours” for DynamoDB and DNS…and that doesn’t line up all that great with what people are reporting in the wild . I’m not trying to start a conspiracy theory, just wondering what the post mortems will tell us, if anything. Obviously the suits want to keep embarrassing fuckups downplayed as much as possible.

Yup, and some things which can be moved cannot be done automatically, quickly or easily…even if you are prepared. AWS is a huge suite of products and services, and there’s a lot of old legacy shit running on it. I wouldn’t punch down on the ops for this one. Cybersecurity and disaster recovery are not directly profitable, so they are almost always neglected in your average shop.

Hey now, he puts a lot of effort into that hair style! It’s not easy bending over and farting in your own face constantly while you apply hair product.

It’s always a race between evil and stupid with these guys.

Same. I never post anything on there. I have replied a few times to a few former coworkers who have messaged me on there, that’s it. If the convo goes anywhere we move it elsewhere.

I think it varies per platform. LinkedIn fosters a disgusting ass-kissing “work comes first” culture. Facebook turned people into one-upping d-bags with highly curated feeds to showcase their constant “winning at life” bullshit. X/Twitter was a left bubble then a right bubble. Reddit is enshittified beyond recognition. It all sucks, just in different ways.

But perhaps the common factors are a sense of isolation and a disconnection from reality.

Sounds like a mental illness that a professional should help with.

Free housing, healthcare, and education for everyone!

Just kidding. I’d dress up like a bat and beat up clowns.

Reddit in comic.

Akshually…lemmy, too.

Yup, some of those factions love playing with their food.

I’m detecting a theme here, and I like it.
