I would bet in time they are vindicated. Then Google et al will release something with much advertising hype about "returning to basics" or something in a couple of years.

There are other CDNs out there with less surface area, but the corollary being they are less of a target.

Wealthy, investment-bloated software companies will be fine.

Smaller companies that provide real world services or goods to make a much more meagre living that rely on some of the services sold to them by said software companies will be impacted much more greatly.

Losing a day or two of sales to someone who relies on making sales every day can be a growing hardship.

This doesn’t just impact developers. It’s exactly this kind of myopic thinking that leads to scenarios like mass outages.

You don't lose a day of sales, customers come back when the site is up again.

My friend, that is just not reality. And it's not just e-commerce t shirt slingers I am talking about here.

You have to realize when software companies tell the world they should rely on their works, they world will do so. And once that occurs, the responsibility is all on the software companies to meet the expectations they built in people!

It's mad that this industry works so hard to claim the trust of millions of people, then shirks it as soon as it's convenient.

It's shameful.

Some of them do. There are very few products or services where all of them will.

Sure, but some people who were going to buy your competitors product forget about that and will instead find your product. I assume it all evens out.

Bunnycdn lives

The nameservers themselves seem to be working fine if anyone is wondering.

I run my applications on OVH behind BunnyCDN and all is well.

Tech companies simply don’t feel it is fraud. They feel it is “marketing fiction”

"I had Elizabeth Holmes explain to me three times what she got arrested for because it sounds an awful lot like what I do here every day."

I think because what predominates is the notion that if it makes money it is good. If it makes a lot of money, then it is very good. If it claims moral superiority, that's fine and well, but if it doesn't make as much money then it doesn't deserve to live.

If you say anything to the contrary, you are "irrational", perhaps worse.

Way off. I've polled about this (informally) as well. Non-technical people think it's another thing they have to learn and do not want to (except for those who have been conditioned into constant pursuit of novelty, but that is not a picture of mental health or stability for anyone). They want technology to work for them, not to constantly be urged into full-time engagement with their [de]vices.

They are already preached at that they need a new phone or laptop every other year. Then there's a new social platform that changes its UI every 6 months or quarterly, and now similarly for their word processors and everything.

> I've polled about this (informally) as well.

This is kinda like how if you ask everyone how often they eat McDonald's, everyone will say never or rarely. But they still sell a billion burgers each year :) Assuming you're not polling your Bsky buddies, I suspect these people are using AI tools a lot more than they admit or possibly even know. Auto-generated summaries, text generation, image editing, and conversation prompts all get a ton of use.

Only if you are assuming I am asking so directly...

It was used in exactly the same way. You think the world you live in is based on the honest truth of how things went? Entire families and peoples have been written out of history, for convenience. They are kept out of history for "stability".

Reading should help one think, but it is not to replace thinking...
