Fuck the centralized cloud why does my job require it

Also “everything is so reliable in the cloud everything is better in the cloud” my ass, not even the Microshit status page shows any error, but just look at downdetector and it becomes obvious

    that is legit what a bunch of multicloud vendors claim to offer. the REAL problem is all three major cloud vendors have a single choke point that is a coal fired coal plant in Charles Town, West Virginia that provides 60% of the electricity provided by Dominion Energy to Nothern Virginia

      That coal plant, to avoid ‘woke’ environmental retrofits, has had exactly zero maintenance since 1997 to keep grandfather clauses running.

        remember that when amazon says US-East-1 is carbon neutral. it’s all carbon credits. and look. carbon credits have their place. but when the world’s largest business is reliant on them to make outlandish claims to fuel unsustainable infininite growth, all that’s happening is innovational stagnation.

          I’m honestly of the opinion that the credits create more harm than good, because it lets companies pay their way out of being green. So the bigger you are, the more you can find a scheme that may or may not actually sequester that amount of carbon (and definitely not at the rate of production).
