My workplace is drunk on slop. slop emails, slop documentation, slop reports id be laughing if it wasnt so fucking depressing given we're very government involved and public services should be the most stable resilient systems in the country.

Saying gov was slow to move to the cloud is so fucking triggering. They moved to the cloud at massive cost increase and at the end of the day its still government owned hardware in government owned sections of the data center so why the fuck doesnt the government just own it and put it in their own datacenter. They've already got the IT department to manage it.

    The government needs to prioritize moving away from IT systems reliance that is not NZ based.

    Software/hardware need to be NZ based and NZ owned. All systems should be FOSS; and only allow non-FOSS where a very good reason exists.

    Sovereign software at the bare minimum. I'm fine with hardware from allies because I doubt we are capable for making that here. But US doesnt count as an ally anymore in my eyes.

    I cannot wait for this idiotic bubble to burst, these overvalued companies have a colossal value correction, and for it to become painfully uncool to use AI to communicate with another human being.

    The Register seems to have lost its edge, all its articles have the apologetic, middle of the road rambling of LLM text.
