@notnotable3 @JustinTrudeau Wow you’re a different kind of scared aren’t you? And before you tell me you aren’t scared, know that fear is the root of all anger. That, sir, HAS been proven scientifically.

@notnotable3 @JustinTrudeau Keep your racist comments to yourself. How do you know the shooter was an immigrant?

@PierrePoilievre Last time I went to an airport, I was able to fly and get to my destination. What do you mean “don’t work”?

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@Derricktgoat @PnPCBC @BonnieBarrie3 Nobody cares, man. Keep it to yourself.

CBC interview with a Rogers Senior VP. He says no ETA. She then asks “but are we looking at days? Weeks?”…What the bloody bell does NO ETA mean? People are so fucking dense.

@SuterColin @Frankenstein68 Then you know there’s no bigger waste of time than giving users a technical explanation they won’t understand, only to have it change an hour later. Everyone in Canada knows they’re working on it. It will be back up when it comes back up. Then we can start finger pointing.

@Barking_Gallery @surreally4 @Frankenstein68 It’s the truth.
Also, I’m not sure that’s a real word

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@Darian29383512 @Frankenstein68 Hahaha and this is the problem. Y’all take this stuff for granted. I’ve been in tech for 21 years and am sick and tired of dealing with the ungrateful public. Maybe now people Will get it.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@CanadianElmoEh @Frankenstein68 Anger is the subconscious reaction to fear or a perceived attack on some part of our ego. In this case it’s probably the lack of control. Acceptance is the answer :)

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@Sngkam2 @Frankenstein68 I suggest you read your service agreement again. The one where you acknowledged that they don’t have to tell you anything. Unless you’re an enterprise customer with an SLA.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@Frankenstein68 My response to you was because of 2 things. One, you said you pay a metric fuck ton of money lol. And two, I’m questioning why you want to know what’s going on? Do you understand DNS, BGP, and infrastructure? All I’m saying is there isn’t usually an answer till the end of these.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@CanadianElmoEh @Frankenstein68 This can happen to anybody. People have been taking the Internet and tech for granted for far too long. It’s not guaranteed. Nothing is.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@Frankenstein68 You pay absolutely fuck all compared to what it costs to keep everything online. Your measly 100 or 200 a month is a drop in an ocean.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@JoopNotYop @MonjurH36437038 @Frankenstein68 Exactly my point. Plan as if it won’t be back online for a few days. I mean, there are all kinds of unknowns in life that human beings regularly plan around. This is no different :)

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@MonjurH36437038 @Frankenstein68 Right, but there’s no eta most of the time during outages like this. So it’s useless to give any kind of estimates. You can tell your employees the same thing. That Rogers is working on it and there is not ETA. Plan accordingly.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@surreally4 @Frankenstein68 Rogers won’t have the full picture until after everything is back online. It’s a waste of time to give reasons to the public until there is a full picture. Also, 9 time out of 10, the explanation is highly technical.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@andreamcrae @Rogers Not for internet unless you pay for a connection with an SLA. Those start at $400 a month depending on where you are.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

To everyone complaining that @rogers hasn’t told you what’s going on: 95% of you wouldn’t understand the details, so what does it matter? They’re working on it. It will be up when it’s up.

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@jennymreid Would you understand a technical briefing?

[Elongated Muskrat @e_muskratt]

@brukneck @Frankenstein68 Everyone knows they’re working on it lol. Do you think they’re just sitting around doing nothing?
