That might not be true @WaffleWaffle , we don't know that much about Parler but we do know their main objective is to allow freedom of speech and let the majority of people on Parler decide i.e, We The People.

That's not entirely accurate. I can tell you that left-wing echo chamber (LFEC) does a very effective job of highlighting all of Trump's shortcomings and rarely acknowledges his accomplishments. The RWEC does just the opposite - highlighting his accomplishments (or helping to show questionable things in the best possible light) and ignores his shortcomings. So, as inexplicable the vitriol on the left towards Trump is to those on the right, the left is just as baffled as to why conservatives are so enthusiastic. The truth is always somewhere in the middle, which is why I refuse to get sucked back into either echo chamber.

Thanks . AWS is amazing.

2020-12-05 04:42:35 UTC  

What do you know about AWS? 🙂

2020-12-05 04:42:36 UTC  

However they are not as dominant as Google or FB

2020-12-05 04:42:58 UTC  

I am working on getting AWS certification.

2020-12-05 04:43:37 UTC  

Which cert?

2020-12-05 04:43:46 UTC  

If you go to their site and make an account the first thing they talk about is freedom of speech. So I'd argue that they might actually be more on the conservative side of the aisle.

2020-12-05 04:44:08 UTC  

Amazon web services

2020-12-05 04:44:15 UTC  

Or that's what they say it is. Just like Google's motto is "Never be evil". 😏

2020-12-05 04:44:21 UTC  

The cloud computing service platform

2020-12-05 04:44:38 UTC  

People have been using that crap for 15 years

2020-12-05 04:44:57 UTC  

Even if it is temporary what will Twitter do with no users, and certainly by the time Parler becomes as good as Twitter or Facebook there will be more platforms.

2020-12-05 04:45:06 UTC  

high speed I loved it when I used it used it extensively

2020-12-05 04:45:21 UTC  

Which AWS cert are you looking at?

2020-12-05 04:46:17 UTC  

Cloud practitioner to start with.

2020-12-05 04:46:17 UTC  

@WaffleWaffle, you just advanced to level 9!

2020-12-05 04:46:33 UTC  

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the kick in the ass that was needed for techs stuck in lockdown to build a platform.

2020-12-05 04:47:14 UTC  

That's a pretty simple one to obtain. I got the DevOps Professional cert at RE:Invent last year in Vegas. Probably the hardest test I've ever taken in my life.

2020-12-05 04:47:42 UTC  

FB oculus. Just where FB wants you: Blind and deaf to everything except their content and with your hands busy. It's right there in their advertising.

Thanks for the encouragement hahahaha

2020-12-05 04:49:05 UTC  

Yeah some day those VR headsets will be installed at birth and shock you if you try to take them off, or fry your brain.

2020-12-05 04:49:10 UTC  

The practitioner exam is pretty much just being able to regurgitate all the descriptions for their various services. If you just click through all the offerings and read the docs, you'll ace it.

2020-12-05 04:49:38 UTC  

I hope so! Thanks for the tip 🙂

2020-12-05 04:49:40 UTC  

I deleted my Facebook account. It was already inactive. After I heard they were censoring people though, I couldn't help myself.... I just went on to delete it.

2020-12-05 04:50:26 UTC  

I then decided to say what parler was all about as I was becoming a little more political lol.

2020-12-05 04:50:30 UTC  

see*

2020-12-05 04:50:36 UTC  

I created an acount on social pressure. Went in, read through the gossip and 15 minutes later I had deleted my account. That was 10 years ago.

2020-12-05 04:50:48 UTC  

Hahaha

2020-12-05 04:50:49 UTC  

@Raven Evermore, you just advanced to level 5!

2020-12-05 04:51:21 UTC  

I create an FB account in order to run for Mayor. So far 2/8 Councilmen have blocked me, and the Mayor has yet to accept my request 🙂

2020-12-05 04:51:34 UTC  

I'm "friends" with his wife, though.

2020-12-05 04:51:38 UTC  

I'm too old to remember the first time I was on Facebook, but I stopped using it years ago.

2020-12-05 04:51:44 UTC  

How long did it take you to get there?

2020-12-05 04:52:19 UTC  

Get the spouses. That's the right path.

2020-12-05 04:52:20 UTC  

@jfindley Republican? What city if you don't mind me asking?

2020-12-05 04:52:24 UTC  

I'd been working with AWS for about 8 years before I took that test.

2020-12-05 04:52:49 UTC  

🤯

Pasadena, Texas. I am a registered Republican and vote in the primaries, and also tried to bail the TX Republican Convention out when the whole "voting system" turned out to be a farce, but these days I'm pretty disappointed in all parties and politicians.
