Ugh.

Well, thanks for clearing up the question I had about people insisting that their sites outside US-East-1 being impacted during the outage.

I think this pretty much just underlines the fact that US-East-1 is basically their "test" version of prod...

This is news? Why wouldn't parts of File Explorer be preloaded? It's integrated to the operating system. har har

But I agree, how big and heavy does a file management program need to be? hmmm...

MacOS has its own barriers to calling itself a professional operating system. A good part of my job is forcing it to conform to basic enterprise system management practices.

Calling them names and leveling false accusations at them is kind of the exact opposite of ignoring them in peace. Unless that's what brings you peace, in which case you're the mentally ill fuckup in that equation.

Demanding that people who are different from you to explain themselves to your satisfaction before you're willing to leave them the hell alone is peak conservative asshole.

I can manufacture outrageous events from my imagination and then extrapolate that fiction into a nation-wide systemic problem too!

Yes. *I* needed typing training to type efficiently and quickly. The fact that said training started with the Almena method rather than the classic "JJJ space FFF space JJJ space FFF space JFJ space FJF space JJF space FFJ space" method doesn't remove the requirement for training (and more importantly, practice and ongoing use.) https://www.almenatyping.com/

... that overpromises and underdelivers... what a surprise.

...and?

Criticallity is easy; just take out the screwdriver.

*Controlled* chain reactions, on the other hand.....

Well, I just did a 1 minute online test, and my WPM is 102 words per minute with 99% accuracy, but I'm having a slow day; my average is more like 120 WPM with 99% accuracy.

I learned how to type, in the early 90s, on a typewriter, by watching the Alemdia method tape one single time. And I still remember the jingle.

But I *perfected* my typing on Sierra On-Line games and the like.
