Data servers and Web servers aren't the same thing at all.

The point is the elasticity of use. Without elastic demand facilitated by cloud you pay for your maximum load usage at all times, 24/7/365 because you bought your own darn servers and can't just rent them and swap them in and out as needed.

If you have 100,000,000 concurrent users on New Years Eve and only 1,000,000 concurrent users on a typical Friday at 4AM you are still paying for that 100,000,000 capacity at Friday at 4AM if you aren't using a scalable cloud service.

Even with their own racks and space, people will refuse to route traffic to them or do DNS for fear of the wrath of Amazon and Google. It's a Cartel operation.

The majority of controlling shares of Twitter are not for sale.

Remember, it's not about making money - it is about using money to wield power.

Can anyone else confirm he was bludgeoned with said fire-extinguisher? All I've see so far was someone discharging the fire extinguisher, not anybody smashing anyone else with it.

It's called Collusion and it's FUCKING ILLEGAL

Incorrect. Android is an Open Source project. You just install a branch OS that's not run by Google - like Lineage OS.

No, the Google build of Android and GAPPS collect your data 24/7.

Since Android is Open Source licensed, plenty of non-Google people have worked out operating system branches that work on "Android Devices" without running Google's shitty, big brother OS.

Android is open source - you don't have to run Google's OS on top of it. You can run a secured independent alternative instead - unless you want a locked phone for some godforsaken reason.

DE-Google your Android Devices.

Fuck Google's censorship and fuck their data surveillance business!

LineageOS on your Android devices. Install the Apps you want via their APK's like you own that super-computer in your pocket instead of renting it from your Tech Overlords!

The mistake was expecting Trump to carry you by himself if you just voted for him.

Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin were all defrauded because there wasn't enough relevant MAGA presence in those states holding them accountable. Good-ol' boys and RINOs gave corrupt officials "emergency" powers for a year and let mail-in voting and other fraud vectors go unchecked. You have to fix that at the ground level - precincts, counties, lawsuits, crushing the low-level scammers that constitute the Democrat and GOPe ground-game.

They patched up voter fraud in Florida and Ohio thanks to the county and state level pitching a giant stink and making real changes to the process by all possible means. They didn't get to cheat in Florida in Ohio this year. So you go to the mat and fix PA, GA, AZ, WI, and MI while you still have a legislature that's afraid of a base of people with (R) next to their registrations.

The technocrats may be top-down rulers, but the United States is still built from the ground up.

Last time someone got 5% as a third party they raised the limit to get on TV to 10%.The system is rigged. You'll have to eat the GOP from the inside. To that end, notice that over half the GOP House reps voted to reject the fraud electors.

ARIZONA: "Hey, guys, why is my nametag red and everyone else's white?"

This could technically be a technician using a USB drive to download a CSV file reported, then move it to his laptop to use Excel (on his laptop) to filter and sort the report as you do with Excel.

The problem is it's completely unmonitored. The little weasel could've done anything to that server and nobody would be the wiser.

The only consolation is with the governor's signature the Trump campaign now has standing to contest the election in AZ courts.

Oh, those ballots were already printed - the envelopes were just unsigned because the voter they belonged to never marked them.

They marked for Biden, stuffed, and threw them into the pile while everyone was sent home. Then they refused to allow Republican monitors to challenge the signatures, ripped them out of the envelopes, and effectively laundered them all.

I don't think a professor of Humanities for U of A would be hanging around the Biomedical Campus in Phoenix, though.

For one thing - that awful boilerplate indemnification was replaced within a week of people raising the concern - it's doesn't exist anymore. Check the terms of service.

Parler doesn't take social security numbers. If you want to verify yourself as a human on there (optional), you load a selfie and a photo ID. All data except the selfie and the phone-number (authentication factor) are deleted.

And no, it's not speech anarchy on Parler. It's US Public Square Free Speech. If it's unlawful to yell or put on a sign in front of the street in the United States (not protected by the First Amendment) then it can be restricted on Parler.

It made the pr0n accounts purveyors Big Mad (TM).

Plus it gives our community places to create a culture of the other things we like and value without getting in the way of the rally-proper.

If it happens to fill a vacuum created by terrible practices on Reddit until the site bleeds out ... well that would be poetic justice considering Reddit was built on being the free speech alternative to Digg.

Besides, we all know u/spez and his admins love to watch from the closet - you'd be doing them a favor.
