You do recall that their C-suite all lived in the same house for a time… Then everything exploded.

Wasnt FTX the first company to organize that way?

Functionally yes, services are coming back up slowly so there are bursts of back-logged emails and things are arriving unreliably and at unpredictable times.

You have plausable deniabiltiy to do fuck all until monday.

Go watch Koyaanisqatsi and come back.

My bosses sent out an email informing people of the outage through Outlook… [facepalm]

Also, placing 5$ on it being a BGP issue.

There are few places I fear.

But Omegahio, it scares me.

Size of organizations really is an important factor. For small-medium businesses, the owner probably needs to have the skills to operate things themselves, for medium-to-large the owners skills set changes to people managment (see the Peter Principal). Then you get to the places where the CEOs job is less managing people but setting directives at the request of the board and being the cult of personality/fall-guy for the investors.

Its that last one where I get why it works that way, but its baffling how an organization gets there without someone asking if thats a bad idea.

If that had happened in Chicago Or Boston there would be a riot big enough to impress the French.

The sad part of that who story is the WarThunder players do the same thing… All the time… For free…

Shame…

Whats /e/os up to these days? Anyone have expirence to speak on it? Pitch it to us, channel the late Billy Mays.

Those who willingly do not participate in the civil process give up their right to complain about it (voter supression is a thing, there is a difference between able and willing) write in Batman for all we care, if you feel no options are deserving of your vote. Showing up is the important part, even if you just intend to spoil your balot.

Yah… Thats too much, if they cut that in half I would ignore it not being up to the repairability standards of fairphone, but if I cant expect that device to last 10 years then ill just wait for the next one…

Everyone head for the hills, Barrens chat is back!!!

Exactly, never inturupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Back when they started on that, we were worried they were going to kill ActivityPub like how Netscape got killed by IE durring the browser wars. EEE (Embrace, Expande, Eliminate), adopt the protocol, expand its capabilities while including propriatary portions of code, and lock the competition out when market saturation is achieved.

The issue is that fedivers residents are a bunch of tech-literate weirdos and called this bullshit the second the news dropped, and are 100% the type of people who make forks as soon as something like that would actually happen. Piefed being the perfect example, this part of the internet is perfectly fine just picking up their things and making something else (and we love it here for that).

Given the recent string of complex designs and the grading industry for sealing high value cards, I would imagine counterfiting them would be much harder. I view this more inline with the Italian chocolate thefts than a more complex enterprise. The product could be viewed as comodities, although they arnt consumed like food, but due to the random nature of the packs, the distributed contents wont be IDd or tagged (only the larger boxes/packs, which are meant to be broken). The reason food is the more likely target is that people will eat the evidence if you can fence a box of candy to a bunch of vendors who wont ask questions. This rings the same to me.

Yes… The Battle of Blair Mtn.

I dont know whats more emberassing, the fact a CA fucked up this baddly. Or that the private keys look like they were actually someones lottery numbers from that morning.

The way I always saw it.

Star Wars was the every man sci-fi

Star Trek was the thinking mans sci-fi

Stargate was the military mans sci-fi

I get that this is a gross over generization, but Star Trek pushed the whole “Prime Directive” thing, where Stargate said “There are few problems you cant solve by arming the locals with P90s”.
