Too bad it won't fucking stay that way

I can only hope that it's the beginning of the end. I want to know why it was down... it was too long to be an accident.

 

Tech giants start screwing each other in a massive tech war. How juicy is that?

Seems they had some more trouble a few hours ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/technology/facebook-whatsapp-instagram-down.html

Too bad it wasn't permanent.

 

Now if only the Three Ts of the Apocalypse (Twitter, Tumbler, and Tic Tok), would go away....

 

If you're interested there's a good documentary on NetFlix called "The Social Dilemma."  It's eye opening.

 

Of course, when ever I hear about Social Media and the damaging effects its had on society, I can't help but think about the "Cocaine Babies"

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/cocaine-babes-quebec-australia-1.4876903

 

Basically, two girls in their early twenties from Montreal who were Sugar Babies were given a pile of cash and an all around the world trip cruise by their Sugar Daddies.  All they had to do was smuggle 23 million dollars (about 30 kilos), of coke into Australia.  They got caught.  During the sentencing hearing for the younger one, the judge asked her why she agreed to do it, she replied "To get pictures of myself in exotic locations for likes and attention on Instagram."

 

Which the Judge promptly called a " "It is sad they seek to attain such a vacuous existence where how many likes they receive is their currency." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-cocaine-smuggler-sentence-prison-1.4624409

I watched it a few days ago. Nothing I didn't already know, but I liked how they cast Vince Kartheiser, from Mad Men fame, to play an algorithm. Says a lot about how his career is going. They tried very hard to keep their politics from stepping on their message, but that kind of failed the more they tried to hide it, and then tried to sucker you into it. Netflix is another corporate conglomerate of the globalist left, and none other than Barack Obama is riding in the front seat of the wagon. Don't get me wrong about big tech... I'm one that wants them all to crash and burn in hell... but those guys don't want them to die... they want to control them.

 

Honestly, I only keep Netflix for shows like Ozark, Peaky Blinders, The Witcher... we'll see if they screw it up completely.

An that's the problem with modern society.

If what I read floating around on the internet is to be believed, they basically shot themselfes in the foot, multiple times

 

Sounds like they DNS-hiccuped themselfes out of their own servers. Then they couldn't enter the server rooms cause their security devices where equally DNS-hiccuped into all points nowhere. To add insult to injury, they had to gnaw their way into the server rooms cause their internal network was equally DNS-hiccuped to oblivion and they couldn't look up who had the actual keys.

 

basically sounds like, don't run all your hardware on the same stuff AND updating it without running it thruw testing
