Andrew Howden @andrewhowden.com · 14/11/2023(idle thinking) there's no way in which the existing model of "send me all your telemetry!!" from vendors works *unless* you're not paying the egress costs. *Hoooowever*. There's also no way I'd support my software in someone's account or compute infrastructure. /1 100

The closet is a hard place to be, and outing anyone can be very harmful. We need a society where it’s okay to be who you want to be if it doesn’t hurt anyone else. 392045344
