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.

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  

🤯

2020-12-05 04:53:55 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.

2020-12-05 04:54:19 UTC  

You're old enough to grow cynical

2020-12-05 04:54:31 UTC  

Understandable. That's awesome though.

2020-12-05 04:55:23 UTC  

There should be a social network called JADED for the awaken.

2020-12-05 04:56:31 UTC  

I think they call that 4chan...

2020-12-05 04:56:35 UTC  

Agree 💯

2020-12-05 04:57:09 UTC  

any advice for anyone who wants to learn cloud? I've only just started taking an interest in comp sci a few months ago with some introductory Java classes.

2020-12-05 04:57:27 UTC  

Oooooh no! Now the whole "intelligence" community will open an account here.

2020-12-05 04:57:32 UTC  

Probably. What do you want to do?

2020-12-05 04:58:20 UTC  

Not really sure at this point, still exploring different avenues, I've only recently covered things like concurrency, using SQL via Java and some basics of Android Studio.

2020-12-05 04:58:25 UTC  

Get some free courses from opensap.com on cloud computing concepts the European way. Then dive into the tech stuff.

2020-12-05 04:58:29 UTC  

Then they can cry about how oppressed their little woke joke lives are. Psh.
