The question isn’t "why does Signal use AWS?" It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.
Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

Only me, the driver, and a lady are on the bus. Then there's an alarm so we all get into the lobby of a nearby building. I'm taking some photos and the lady angrily asks _Why_? Lady, it's my first time. Wouldn't you want to keep some memories from your first time if you could?

Black and white photo of a very cute shorthaired black kitten with the sweetest little button nose, sitting up in profile on a desk. Its forepaws are on some buttons of a call switchboard and its mouth is quite near the slender adjustable microphone attached to the unit. It looks like it's concentrating on a call.
