Twitter is a cesspool still.
But it is one where you can increasingly fire back without a moderator shutting you down when you destroy their narrative.
And that is a movement in the right direction.
The latest way to tell people you're literally worse than Hitler: Tell them you don't have any social media accounts.
Not my speed!
It makes the inevitable crash even more fun to watch.

When I see the size and scale of everything, all I can think of is ... this company is way too big and needs to be broken up into a hundred Baby Bezos.
Not my speed!
It left me feeling that the world was better off when we just bought a dang mainframe and there it was.
Cloud has its place. But its not a solution for everything.
Personally, i think its good for disaster recovery/availability and having some room for temporary on the fly expansion of resources in case of emergency. But not a lot more.
I would have it ready to use, but be mostly shut down. Of course shared storage, that is a bit hard not to have copy 'up three in case of local data center vanishing' , but that is just the cost of insurance.
Remember "IBM and the Seven Dwarfs"? Now it's "Amazon and the 7,000 Dwarfs."
"your package will arrive by 10pm. never mind, by tomorrow noon. ok just kidding it will be by 2.. ok um, lol, now 2:30."

You deserve what you get.
I ordered a gift for my family and the delivery guy just abbandonned it at the front door for everybody to grab. It is a miracle no wild human or animal
ran away with it. I am tempted to contact the store in a couple of weeks and tell them I never got the package...
I was joking about ice cream of course.
Was just some cables for my solar panels. Nothing important, just was funny how it kept sliding.. finally came around 3pm

If the package was shipped without a signature requirement ... there is a bit of fat built into the price for them to handle theft claims.
My pet peeve for those deliveries is when they leave a package out in the rain to potentially get ruined.
That actually happened with one of my mom's orders ... water-soluble stabilizer. Left in rain. It was half-dissolved by the time we got to it. RIP

In this place, every single agency which does not belong to socialized mail post corporations requires a signature.
I actually told the store I haven't received the package, because I am tired of being treated like shit by this delivery service. The store opened a ticket with the agency and - surprise - the agency cannot prove the package was delivered, so their insurance is paying the store for the lost merchandise.
