Good point. Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

Coming from T dude, it’s a compliment. It must mean that he knows how to do his job.

I was promised 15 years ago that cloud computing would avoid unexpected bills and provide consistent expenses that project managers love so much.

No, sorry. It’s a bribe.

It’s quickly becoming irrelevant. I mean what are you gonna do, vote him out?

Think of it like climate change. We’ve had a warning after warning. Apparently there is no line that he cannot cross.

Get down from your high horse. What about your actions says that you even believe in this rule of law nonsense?

I dare you to give these people a reason to believe in justice. Perhaps they think if they fight hard enough they’ll be pardoned by the next king. Maybe shouldn’t have done that!

The beatings will continue, not simply until morale improves, but because they enjoy giving the beatings.

A good laugh in this trying time. Mental health is one of those things we need severely.

Turns out people don’t like it when you kidnap their friends and family.

This is based on the administration acting in good faith, and this isn’t military deployed on foreign soil as is the case for typical peacekeeping. This is an at-home escalation, knowing force is going to be used against US Citizens by its own military. It’s extremely irresponsible at best and unusual enough that the Pentagon is scrambling to understand how to even address the situation.

Make no mistake, use of force on US citizens by the military is the predictable and intended outcome of the deployment. I don’t believe this is a good faith peacekeeping mission. This angle strikes me as saying that there are inherent risks to being shot. Of course, the effect of being shot was the intention of firing the shot.

The Pentagon was scrambling Monday to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil[…]

What the fuck timeline is this shit. The rule is that you can’t do that you absolute glue sniffers. I know this sub demands civility but this is truly madness.

“No statutory authority Trump has invoked so far permits this.”

Right, because this is newborn fascist shithole.

The damage is done, but I guess that’s good.

That’s very cool! But, my work needs to run proprietary x86 containers not ARM ones. We are sadly being “forced” (they rather still not turn to open source software) to move to Windows. It’s a shame.

A third of us that wants to kill another third.

So much for rights.

Brain worms are winning.

We have terminal Nazi syndrome. Send help.

I’ll give it a week.

TACO.

You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.
