I'm not sold on this guy's conviction. I know the internet loves seeing people punished, but this guy needed his life saved. I've been hiking plenty, and these mistakes he made are very common (except for going 50 miles off t

On paper, they solve a lot of problems. They've got apis for everything. The problem in my interactions with them is that they have a ton of people working in different directions on those problems. One team tells us to do X, support a

They've pretty obviously had an increase in service problems since the culling. Most services this size very rarely have outages. You had to go back to 2021 for facebook. Twitter has had several major outages since Musk's purchase

Yep. You can justify any injustice with "won't somebody think of the children" or similar fears which inspire pearl-clutching. Don't fall for these authoritarian tactics.
