A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about that particular idiocy, Elmo gets up to so much stupid shit that it's hard to keep track.
But I'd also be willing to bet money on this being somehow at least partially tied to ditching GC, likely due to not being able to pay (at that's what is implied by them refusing to pay the bill.) I guess Elmo thought "how hard can running some servers be? I'm a rokit skientist" and decided to just skip paying the bill as a power move instead of trying to make a deal with Google, and now the remaining developers, ops people etc. – those poor bastards – are paying the price.
