You can generally tell what way someone leans when they say "Dems" but spell out "Republicans".

The fact they changed the headline is itself praiseworthy, but the fact it was click bait and sensationalist to begin counters it.
The point about making the older stuff cheaper is something that isn't mentioned as much as it should be in these debates.
Ultimately even if the older stuff is worse and requires more attention and monitoring (less convenient), it is still better than nothing.
Because sitting presidents never stand behind the American people.
There were still claims of fraud.
Which, let's be clear, is not an inherently bad thing. Most sane people don't want to reinvent the wheel. If you have a foundation that works and can easily be built off of in a reusable way the. You ultimately end up saving a lot of time and money.
Now, going back to your dig, it is true that Amazon has too many similar services, a lot of which could have just been an offering under an existing service. If you offer a certification just for memorizing what all of your services do then you may have gone too far.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a surefire sign they are circling the drain, but I would agree the RTO mandates are vanity decisions. If not the vanity angle it screams that the leadership does not trust their employees or they don't want to invest in the architecture required to make WFH feasible.
Realistically the mandates are due to tax breaks that the company gets for having a certain number of seats filled each day since these employees have a chance at fueling the local economy by eating out or getting gas.
Either way it is a bad look.
The Linux Argument.
Non-jokes aside, there are multiple names for this. Anecdotal evidence is the primary one while confirmation bias is discarding statements (factual or fictional) that do not align with your vision.
I've already been down voted and commented on. No need to start being a snarky asshole. If there is one thing that hasn't changed since the 90s it is how obnoxious and pretentious Linux users are.
What is the opposite of "don't dead open inside"? This works both ways.
Alongside this comment was an equally damning comment: "if your past games are competing with your new games then your new games aren't worth buying in the first place."
That sauce looks amazing. Great job!
