I know. I’m not a web dev nor do I know anyone who is to convince otherwise, to use other services. AWS dominance is undeniably huge. If you know a way to combat that (alternative infrastructure) I would be happy to hear it, and I will share that alongside what I already tell people. Again I’m not well-versed in that space, but my understanding is that AWS is essentially the only full-stack solution that’s also highly scalable. Open to correction if I’m wrong here.
I haven’t given a god damn dime to amazon since 2020, ever since I learned about the piss bottles. I’ve asked (and assisted) others to do the same. What else do you expect someone to do? Speak for yourself asshole.
Yum, a nicely mixed word salad! Lmfao
I assumed this was a given. Anything offered to tech overlords will be monetized and packaged for profit at every possible angle. Nice to know it’s official now, I guess.
Hells yeah thank you for sharing :D
That is tight as hell and I love it
I arrived at that point a few years ago. You’re in for a world of discovery. As an fps fan myself I highly recommend Ultrakill. There’s a demo so you don’t have to commit.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
Meanwhile I unveil a plan to continue not giving a goddamn cent to J Bozo. Ever.
Agreed, MS and Google are pretty much on the same plane with regards to company ethics.
Makes sense that it becomes a serious trade-off with usability the more a company tries to DIY. The risk aspect is certainly hard to get around. Seems that a solution to this problem would have to be long-term. Any company that has competed with AWS in the past, afaik, has been purchased and absorbed. It would likely require the creation of a nonprofit with a guiding directive to prioritize keeping the organization independent and never being sold. But I’ve seen that sort of thing fall apart and go off-mission in other industries too.
Considering the above, the only other thing I can think of is a regulating body declaring AWS as a monopoly and forcing them to split. The chances of that happening in the current administration are probably near zero.
Shit sucks, though I appreciate your response.
