WHO DID THIS

#awswishlist: give me an option to report bugs to support that doesn’t cost me anything—make it a game even. If the issue is with the service my support fee gets refunded 2x!

I shouldn’t have to tweet like this, to report issues like this:

I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.

I've gotten a model tuned in to be an excellent probabilistic sarcastic parrot.

"Do you mean 'stochastic parrot?'"

I absolutely do not.

Yeah, good luck with that Adobe.

“That’s an improper use of our trademark; have you considered sounding like a massive tool instead?”

Alan Moss, Amazon’s VP of Global Ad Sales (and apparently a user-hostile schmuck), appears to have forgotten who Prime Video's customers are.

Prime Video costs money. Am I the customer or the product here?

@GossiTheDog holy crap.

Either Google Cloud has done something next-level horrifying, or this superannuation company is being highly misleading about their own mistake.

Bets?

Rumors are swirling about the deprecation of VMware Cloud on AWS.

I'm proposing a helpful update for the VMC marketing page:

All the cloud vendors say they’ve been “working on AI for decades,” but Intel was shipping Pentiums that were bad at math in 1994.

Two years ago Microsoft got rid of post-employment noncompetes. This was admirable and impressed me with their corporate philosophy towards their employees.

They deserve credit for this.

Getting back to my roots a bit.

This ancient Scandinavian rune means “intermittent.”

Honestly, at least 75% of the reason I use CloudFlare is because if I use AWS for DNS / domain registration, I'm stuck in "which account in my org owns it" purgatory.

Corporate April Fools pranks have some real "hey there fellow kids" energy.

@anildash DNS beat you to the punch by a good few decades, I’m afraid.

The zeitgeist right about now:

Remember, if Microsoft talks about Copilot usage numbers, what they’re really talking about is “number of customers not sophisticated enough to modify a registry key,” because that’s the only way to disable it.

Okay, the "we don’t require you to close your account or change your relationship with AWS in any way" means this is potentially meaningful to customers in ways that Google's equivalent isn't. This is a solid change.

We help companies negotiate their long term contracts with AWS. The Saudi Arabia region announcement today is exciting, because usually our customers don't get to negotiate with a bone saw.
