I mean yeah, I would answer your statement as “yes”. But I would prefer to challenge a fundamental assumption within your question, “suffering is good”. Suffering is neither bad nor good, it simply is. Without the experience of suffering, experiences of non-suffering would lose some or all of their meaning. Without winter we cannot appreciate summer, and vice versa.
Agreed, MS and Google are pretty much on the same plane with regards to company ethics.
Makes sense that it becomes a serious trade-off with usability the more a company tries to DIY. The risk aspect is certainly hard to get around. Seems that a solution to this problem would have to be long-term. Any company that has competed with AWS in the past, afaik, has been purchased and absorbed. It would likely require the creation of a nonprofit with a guiding directive to prioritize keeping the organization independent and never being sold. But I’ve seen that sort of thing fall apart and go off-mission in other industries too.
Considering the above, the only other thing I can think of is a regulating body declaring AWS as a monopoly and forcing them to split. The chances of that happening in the current administration are probably near zero.
Shit sucks, though I appreciate your response.
I know. I’m not a web dev nor do I know anyone who is to convince otherwise, to use other services. AWS dominance is undeniably huge. If you know a way to combat that (alternative infrastructure) I would be happy to hear it, and I will share that alongside what I already tell people. Again I’m not well-versed in that space, but my understanding is that AWS is essentially the only full-stack solution that’s also highly scalable. Open to correction if I’m wrong here.
I haven’t given a god damn dime to amazon since 2020, ever since I learned about the piss bottles. I’ve asked (and assisted) others to do the same. What else do you expect someone to do? Speak for yourself asshole.
Alright you make fair points. Easier than multiple menus but yeah, why the hell do they keep rearranging? It feels like an engagement mechanism to make you spend just a second longer on the page or accidentally click something else due to muscle memory.
This is the opposite of infuriating. Do you know what is? Having to poke around all four corners and then scroll down to figure out where the latest update moved the shit I’m looking for. This isn’t very clean I’ll give you that. But it’s still 1000% better than buttons all over the place.
Yum, a nicely mixed word salad! Lmfao
I assumed this was a given. Anything offered to tech overlords will be monetized and packaged for profit at every possible angle. Nice to know it’s official now, I guess.
The most masculine thing possible is to give zero fucks about anyone else’s definition of masculinity. You speak the truth. I’ve been watching some older cartoons from the 50s, and it’s been a bit strange honestly. Because a lot of that material has a much healthier depiction of ‘being a man’. There was a lot of emphasis on treating others with respect and carrying yourself with dignity. Obviously, a significant amount of behavior at the time didn’t actually line up with most of those ideals. But somewhere along the path, empathy was divorced from manliness, and that’s the root cause of the problem imo.
Classism applied to tops/bottoms has been around since the greeks, it seems hard for society to escape that as a whole.
I’m with you there, the modern (currently most popular when counting by volume) take on manliness is very weird and gross overall. Whenever I see guys glom on to that idea of manliness it’s always been a bit bizarre to me. I primarily smell good for myself before anyone else, who wants to smell shit all day? Besides that, I was always told that “being a man” includes looking clean, sharp, and fresh. It has it’s own form of toxicity to be sure (it’s okay to have bad days/off days) but ultimately taking care of yourself with proper grooming breeds healthy confidence and self-image so long as you don’t obsess over it.
But your friends don’t post and if they don’t post well, they’re no friends of mine.
No, it’s luck despite the system.
No, also luck despite the system.
No, still luck despite the system.
That’s what i get for bandwagoning, oops
PirateSoftware on YouTube
Hells yeah thank you for sharing :D
That is tight as hell and I love it
Seeing as how pirate poses himself as a very knowledgeable guy who’s valued info should help get you into the industry, yes. That makes it hilarious, in fact.
Yes, you are wrong.

I’ve heard of people running it as a side gig. Shady advertising companies will buy your reddit account, the more history the better. I have no idea the price range but I can’t imagine it’s much, because the entire process can be automated at this point.
Because I was raised on media that glorified the plight of the underdog, beset against on all sides by powerful forces. And my grandpa told me “The hardest things in life are the things most worth doing.”
