    A platform that’s down 10% of the time and that now has a reputation of locking people out of their accounts without reason for weeks at a time cannot, under any definition of the word, be considered “stable”.

    I just… don’t get it. This whole community, we’re supposed to be building stuff for ourselves and each other, and for some reason people keep going to bat for a company that demonstrably holds every one of us in contempt.

    Just… stop using their shitty tools already.

      That is inaccurate to all hell.

      Not to defend a microslop product but that monitoring platform sees one service as offline as the entire platform is offline.

      The container registry going down does not effect the git forges or the webui but that site says it does.

        Can you be my boss?

        My current boss says that any downtime counts because the services are supposed to work together and a single outage affects user experience. I like your approach of “if it’s not fully down it doesn’t count, fuck the users” better.

        He’s still right that it’s weird people like you are going to bat to defend them. Microsoft sucks. It must get tiring if you have to call out every inaccurate thing everyone says to try to tear them down. The important take-home message is that we need to tear them down, they suck.

        You don’t see people bothering to defend Epstein, for example. Even though there’s lots of inaccurate stuff going around, there’s enough accurate stuff to be absolutely confident he was an absolute loathsome piece of shit not worth defending. Not worth the effort to defend. Why bother?

        What do you see in Microsoft that you think is worth defending? Github is shit, and it’s evil. Let it go.

      down 10% of the time

      Anecdotally: As a part of my morning routine, I check Thousand Eyes to see what the ‘internet weather’ is doing. GitHub and Microsoft are usually down somewhere, in some form or fashion.
