I think they meant AWS competitors, not companies that maintain multi-region configurations.

“The gun just did that.”

We really should figure out a way to publicly shame this passive voice bullshit.

Whoops. Sorry. It was still there on my instance.

Ring is owned by Amazon.

Overwatch. 4,600 hours and you’d think I’d be alright by now LOL.

lol that looks like a parody how are people like benny not humiliated posting stuff like this?

I think he’s just lying. He might be dumb on top of it, but I think he’s just seeing what direction the wind is blowing and trying to get ahead of it.

Until Google revokes publishing privileges for side-loading applications. I think we’ll have to go further and get used to making PWAs and regular websites.

I have my tin foil hat on, but I’m wondering if the Sinclair owners are willing to take a loss on their media front in order to have the social influence of the local TV stations. The influence may be more valuable to them than the revenue.

lol no

it’s not really that hard to get one

That’s the rub. It is not convenient at all here to get ID. The joke universally understood here is that the DMV (the place where the vast majority get their ID) is the worst run, least efficient government body, taking hours to days to navigate.

Add to this that getting to and from the DMV is mostly car dependent. If you’re extremely lucky, you live in NYC that has good* public transportation. If you’re regular lucky, you live in a large city with a very unreliable bus system that might come by your stop once an hour. Going to the DMV becomes a day long chore. If you’re not lucky, you live in a rural area where the DMV is miles away from where you live, underfunded, and understaffed. If you don’t have car (elderly? disabled?) or you’re too busy to make it during business hours (can’t take off work? tough shit) you’ll be out of luck.

And none of this is to say that it is easy to acquire the ID once (if) you arrive. You need various forms of paperwork that may or may not be readily available to you. Sometimes you have to get paperwork from other government bodies, which are also cumbersome. Also the backlogs. In my state, the backlog for driver license renewal is months long.

To summarize: nothing is really made for convenience here as it concerns voting. Decades of Republican sabotage has put as many obstacles in place to make voting (and registering to vote) difficult as possible. Even getting ID is cumbersome and relies on being healthy enough and well-off enough to be able to afford the trouble of getting it.

I was speaking generally about the concept of deporting “the criminal illegals”.

And there’s no guarantee of justice once they leave our jurisdiction. Even assuming they got the right guy… what? He murders someone and gets to go home with no punishment? That’s a travesty.

yes

The Snyder Superman movies were good, actually.

Hope they’re gonna devote the development resources to making it actually work.

Agreed. I think we only need to really worry when they make their way up the pile and the dust is brushed off. Are we there yet? I dunno. Maybe? The existence of the plan isn’t the issue, though.

We were the ones that allowed it to happen. We’re all part of society, after all.

I’ve got bad news for you about what that says about the rest of us lol.
