Going to be checking Google maps for the Gulf of
AmericaIran in the morning.Finally a news story with multiple reasons for a cheer and support.
Offices in the middle east, in case you’re like me and thought they were talking about stateside offices.
I thought they were talking about cyber attacks, which honestly would put much more pressure on the US government I think.
On April Fools Day? I’m expecting mild pranks, like TP’ing Bezo’s house, ding-dong-dash a Elon’s, and maybe a few car bombs at the data centers.
AWS has had major outages in UAE and Bahrain since 1 March. That’s a good start!
Please do it
no don’t do it

Do it harder
no stop
he can start by targetting the datacenters.
That could be a huge double edged sword.
On the one hand less propaganda, on the other less documentation.
That seems like a win-win to me.
They aren’t keeping any documentation.
Propaganda is a lot more dependent on centralization than documentation, and though I get that their power is tempting change will not be made with the tools of our oppressors
Fine. But you better not target our health insurance companies … I mean it. No drone attacks on them or any multibillion dollar corporations or the US public will shrug and keep going on.
Simply put folks.Leavre San Francisco and move to Santa Rosa. (I know that is bigger than 1km Radius from Silicon Valley. But Honestly I think the Ports through out the bay to be targeted as well to increase the damages)
The assets they have in the middle east, not on american soil.
Oh no. Please. Not NVidia, or Meta, or Amazon, or Google, or Apple, or Palantir… Oh and don’t forget… Uh, I mean not Mircosoft.
I concur, please levea the big tech alone, they are doing so much good for the world, cogh cogh, I meant for shareholders.
Microsoft is a huge liability. They’ve forced companies and home PC users to be needlessly dependent on their cloud services to be able to do just about anything. They own the hugely popular GitHub and NPM developer platforms, and indirectly control other developer platforms through GitHub integrations. They’re one of the major cloud service providers. They have a system that forces home and small business PCs all over the world to execute arbitrary code. They’ve been replacing their developers with incompetent AI systems. A major Apple or Google attack has the potential to break nearly all mobile devices, but a major Microsoft attack could cripple businesses everywhere.
Facebook and Palantir on the other hand could just disappear off the internet and we’d be better off.
Laughs in Linux
Any open source project that still use github should be boycotted in my book. That simply doesn’t respect the licence.
What does licensing have to do with it?
Glad I went Linux and moved house to the berg
X. Surely X is a Tech company. Tesla too. They are as much tech as automobile.
How difficult would it be to smuggle and assemble a variant of the Shahed drone into North America? Dissembled and separated, it would look like lawn mower parts, sheet metal, and ewaste.
Many U.S. tech companies have offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi, which could become targets of Iranian drone and missile attacks if the country follows through on its threat.
Microsoft has offices in Qatar, Dubai, SA, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and more I’m sure. Oracle also has offices across the region.
These come to mind, but there are many other companies I’m sure.

Yet another really good reason to work from home.

If Oracle was on the list, they’d tell their employees to come into the office anyway.

Well all but about 30k of them
Dodged a bullet
most likely a bomb
No more water for you for the rest of the week
Probably ask them to stand in front of the building.
it is considered rude to show ai slop to other humans
they just cut 30k employees, freeing up money for more data-centers.
