  • I’m not saying get rid of them, I’m saying strengthen them so they can stand up to corporate interests. I also don’t understand how you could read my post as somehow an endorsement for Trump. Of course he’s going to make things worse, it’s what Republicans do.

    The dynamic has been a ratchet effect since FDR died: Republicans roll back the New Deal, and Democrats just stop the rolling back while they’re in power without managing to reinstate anything because enough of them are also beholden to campaign money.













  • Yeah, everyone struggles with that, especially since AWS doesn’t really break down costs in a way that makes sense if you’re trying to work out which business unit or feature is costing you money (unless you set things up where every team has their own account or whatever, and even then).

    I think Netflix could probably start selling their tool and make more money from that then streaming if they can get it to work, because I’m guessing AWS makes it hard on purpose.





  • Yeah, the first degree one is probably a long shot, where they hope to set a precedent where shooting a high profile CEO / politician is now terrorism, which means they can use all the terrorist laws to surveil activists and anyone who disagrees with the current system (I mean, they already do that, but they want to expand the legal basis for it where they can).

    They also tried to use terrorism laws on the activists trying to stop cop city in Atlanta. The thing people warned about when the PATRIOT Act passed is slowly happening. They start with a law to stop terrorists and pedophiles, and slowly they expand the use of it until it applies to everyone.
