Dejected Warp Core

See, this is why I’m afraid to go to the local recycler. I’d wind up coming home with more potential Linux systems than I know what to do with.

All I saw was the very jumbled-up rocky area and thought “well, there’s probably a snake in there someplace”.

Little jerks have amazing camouflage, but get all bitey when it works too well.

so responsibility part was skipped.

The article mentions that the datacenter is run by a 3rd party. I’m not arguing to absolve Meta here, but I think this is a classic case of diffusion of responsibility. The more contractors and subcontractors that get involved in stuff like this, the more these kinds of problems crop up.

because we spent all of the wired rollout grants/funding on bullshit.

Oh, it’s worse than that. The grant money was the wrong party color, so it had to be disposed of rather than lead to a positive outcome.
