Last picture should be Helen Keller with no wires

It’s fantastic

As seen in the show Common Side Effects

Lots of people have a crazy MAGA parent / sibling / cousin, etc they vehemently disagree with and wish would realize their relative is aligned with the baddies. Judging and targeting innocent people for the actions of someone else is pretty disgusting, even if it would show ICE officers the damage they’re causing in America.

Unless we can prevent 100% of firearm deaths, we shouldn’t take any action /s

Needs to be more specific to narrow it down. “Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Burton’s wife) make out in this movie”

it’s like poetry, it rhymes

This might be a simple goof, but a lot of the layout in The Shining (intentionally) doesn’t make any sense. There’s some great analysis of the insane architecture of the hotel.

Sasha Grey, an adult actress who stared in a feature film with Elijah Wood.

The United States changed about 15-20 years ago to always be after Halloween, so that kids can trick-or-treat longer and people will have to buy more candy.

My friends missed a wedding ceremony because of this, showed up an hour late and were very confused. I guess people who live right next to a timezone border turn off the automatic updates on their phone?

You’re going to go to cast iron hell for this

How else can you get reoccurring revenue through a subscription if you can’t remotely brick the device someone paid $2700 for?

Yeah I don’t think this is the best analogy, but the point being is brand loyalty can only go so far. Like if you’re going to run out of gas in the next 20 miles and there isn’t an Exxon station within 100 miles, do you just pass all other gas stations and have your employees break down on the side of the road?

I just can’t imagine any actual competitors to AWS would impose such restrictions on their employees that put them in a worse position to do their jobs, so it’s a bit silly that it’s coming from Walmart, when they don’t compete in that space.

Totally, I understand that, but seemed to be an extreme measure they are inflicting on their employees that doesn’t really change anything. It’d be like if ExxonMobil didn’t allow their employees with company cars to fill up at a Chevron station.

There’s so much vendor lock in with AWS, migrating to another provider over an outage even lasting 24h would be a tough sell. This isn’t unique to AWS either, each of the cloud vendors have their own lock in and their own problems. If you had the money you could run in multiple clouds, but for most businesses who were only running in a single region, I can’t imagine they’d choose this option.

Can confirm, about 10 years ago, the company I worked for migrated to AWS, and I managed the transition. We planned everything meticulously so that there would be no downtime, and used it as excuse to fix a lot of tech debt. No one was supposed to even notice the cutover, and when we did it, I expected the only feedback to be that things seemed faster and were working as expected. A few hours later, we get a complaint from an Account Manager for Walmart that they can’t access the platform at all. There was a lot of confusion and back and forth, turns out their IT department had an allow list or something in the corporate DNS to not resolve to AWS owned IPs unless approved. We eventually got them to add our domain to their allowlist, but it seemed insane that they would spend the effort to implement and maintain that level of control.

Actually how does Lemmy and the Fediverse even work for search engines with regard to duplication? Do each instance only show posts from communities which are moderated on the instance, and dynamically show a robots.txt to ignore federated communities? Or since posts federate, does each instance a post federates to show up in search results? I could see the latter being really annoying to someone who doesn’t understand what’s going on, and keeps getting results for the same exact post, although would be nice to have a replacement for adding site:reddit.com to some search results.

That’s how it is for everyone, right???
