Old man shouts at clouds hating on democratisation of music production tools and digital distribution, while sitting in his $x00,000 studio, wanting to consume music that uses laborious methods of manufacture and distribution and seeing it has no value if it doesn’t.
No, it’s all good. We’re on the same page about disaster recovery!
as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.
Which is exactly what I was saying.
Any services used with a cloud provider should be treated as 1 entity, no matter how many geo-locations they claim your data is backed up to because they are a single point from which all those can be deleted.
When I was last involved in a companies backups, we had a fire safe in the basement, we had an off-site location with another fire safe & third copies would go off to another company that provided a backup storage solution so for all backups to be deleted, someone had to go right out of their way to do so. Not just a simple deletion of our account & all backups are wiped.
That company had the foresight to do something similar & it’s saved them. [edited - was on the tube when I wrote this and didnt see the autocorrect had put ‘comment’, not ‘company’]
It may have been more devastating if they relied exclusively on google for backups.
Which is why having any data, despite the number of backups, on a cloud provider shouldn’t be seen as off-site.
Only when it is truly outside their ecosphere and cannot be touched by them should it be viewed as such.
If that company didn’t have such resilience built into their backup plan, they would be toast with a derisory amount of compensation from Google.
There were tools that people made that would find if the people you followed/followed you were on Mastodon and added them so the migration wasn’t quite as painful as some here have described.
The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.
Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn’t fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn’t an equivalent place to go to.
They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn’t then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.
Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it’s wandering about and most of the users haven’t realised yet that it’s an empty shell.
It’s slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it’s now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.
S’all good! I was reading about it yesterday and was surprised that they already had the court cases
One of them was already jailed back in 2021 and the others were awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty

They are digitising Marion Stokes’ collection
The BBC stupidly recycled the tapes because they didn’t give much credence at the time to how important their archive would become.
You can click that to clear it but you no longer get the threads or replies, just the initial tweet.
If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked
Or tulips from the 17th century
The suggestion that he was sent up the mountain with equipment that was inadequate, makes it a bit more than “humans verses environment & lose”
Another is that no matter how far I zoom in, it still remains on the smallest font.
I’ll be out cycling and it’s a PITA to have to dig out my glasses just to read a pissy small street name to know where tf I am!
Defenestration is always preferred!
and new-new labor won’t even consider a re-vote.
Especially bizarre after Sir Kid Starver was the one at the front of the “Peoples Vote” campaign to have a referendum on the final deal!
