Yeah, I wanted to share after reading yours. I kinda guessed that it may have had something to do with amazon. All those big megacorps do it. I remember poor programmers trying to write extensions for MacOS back in the day and next version Apple would build the same feature into the system and the extension writer was out of an income source.

For sure, in the Amazon case, I still think it's neat to provision servers instantly and pay by the hour, but it's also very expensive now.. typical start cheap, and then get greedy strategys lol. I'm glad that I'm good at data centers too, I can always just rack em and stack em if I want, and build all that fancy automation from scratch on any set of servers. Openstack was pretty cool, and kubernetes is the ultimate..

I think Amazon even offered to buy the company I was working at, but they didn't want to sell and made their play for 'multi-cloud', so it wasn't completely big bad amzn afaik. Apple on the other hand, ya ouch. Getting booted from the platform like that is just wrong.

There's a lot of things that are wrong, but the main one is that the only winning strategy in business is to have mates in the banks and parliament, and that ultimately leads to bad things for everyone because it's them against us.

I've given up on hoping we can fix it. Just focusing on surviving and praying for the aliens to come and whoop some psychopathic asses to smithereens.

Ya, I always thought the Internet would help make good changes.. but something went wrong. Imagine how much easier it is for aliens now with smart phones 😂

I don't think the smartphones have any impact on the aliens.

We are just in a phase like the olden days of mainframes and dumb terminals. This led to the personal computer and the floppy disk.
