Paired with "priority support" and "cheaper" repairs for the much more frequent breakdowns

That was the plan to begin with.

Great way to dispense a few billion of taxpayer money in settlements as a favor while everyone's distracted by the story and laughing about how dumb RFK and Trump are.

They're not that dumb. Anything that seems particularly illogical has underlying motives. Look and you'll find more instances of this. Much more.

That was literally my first thought reading the title too.

> A website set up by an unknown Dane

Next sentence,

> The website was set up by Joachim, a 30-year-old software engineer living in Aalborg, Denmark

? Is this what journalism has come to? On top of calling this a spam campaign?

No, mostly less external compute

> I doubt we will see unused GPU capacity

I'd argue we very certainly will. Companies are gobbling up GPUs like there's no tomorrow, assuming demand will remain stable and continue growing indefinitely. Meanwhile LLM fatigue has started to set in, models are getting smaller and smaller and consumer hardware is getting better and better. There's no way this won't end up with a lot of idle GPUs.

> Yeah they fucked Heroku hard

Surprisingly not as much as I'd thought when they took it over. They just never adjusted pricing to remain competitive. The experience is still some of the best you can get for RoR apps. But nobody in their right mind deploying a new application today would look at their insane 10 year old dyno pricing and be like - yup - reasonable

AI is absolutely NOT filling any kind of SWE roles, especially not mid tier

Does Peertube not have federation or similar? This will never take off if users have to visit dozens of different instances each specifically for one interest of theirs.

Well, sometimes it's better to not be able to escape as quickly and actually have to accept and deal with it head on. At least for me personally.

I usually try to anonymize whatever is going on. Personal conversations key details removed or slightly modified, no real person or company names at all, etc

Code I only run through the zero-retention API accounts anyway.

> Our Customers Got Happier

They absolutely didn't.

I still wonder why they literally don't seem to care in Europe. I've overdrawn billing accounts (by accident) two times, one 10 years ago, one a year ago. Nothing happened until I remembered about them months and months later, I went to check and both times the accounts were just sitting there closed. Checked my email and they sent like two payment reminders in the first 2 weeks and then nothing ever again.. the one 10 years ago is still sitting there.. it's not like they couldn't have sent it to debt collections, that's also a popular thing here lol.
