FAFO.
We've been fanfaring for a decade and a fucking half for people not to see "the cloud" as a miracle solution, and to use it carefully. We've been warning that it is a blatant invitation to vendor lock in, that it is singlehandedly creating oligopolies, and that exactly this would happen.
Did people listen? No. Did they aggressively confront (or passive-aggressively ostracise) us? You bet your bottom dollar they did.
And now? Now they come around with
surprised_pika.giffaces and whine to whoever listens that they are victims, and that they couldn't "possibly have seen this coming".No. They are enablers of abusers, they themselves abused anyone with even a modicum of common sense, and they brought this upon themselves a thousand times over.
FAFO. And at this point, reading such story fills me with the most powerful schadenfreude I have ever experienced.
