  • Whelp, tech giants Amazon, Google, and Apple all nixed Parler. It was a dumb move, in my opinion, but that's where we are right now, isn't it? The app stores are easy enough to get around with jailbreaking and a few settings changes, but the AWS Hosting issue, not so much.

    It was kind of silly for Parler to use AWS in the first place. Well, I guess global availability could have been the reason they chose AWS. By the way, AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. Yeah. They're not just a shopping website anymore, but Facebook and Twitter aren't just social media sites either. When seeking global users, it's important to have reliable content delivery, and AWS provides that. This doesn't mean merely displaying content but serving multimedia, most importantly, to users from a data center in a part of the world nearest to them. The longer data has to travel, the slower it is.

    It's tempting to go after a broader audience, but I'm going a different way with this. It's why I chose a ".us" domain instead of a ".com." Just playing in foreign social markets is wrought with politics anymore, so I'm aiming only for American citizens on cabit.

    Oh yeah. I've named it. Technically, it's CABiT, but cabit will suffice.

    This isn't political so naturally, I don't want to mire this project in political games. I call it "The American Social Network" for a reason, after all. But that's for another post.

  • So far so good. Got the Android app up and running. Need to use a lifeline to finish getting the iOS app set up. #progress

  • Had a nice ride today. Went up through Commerce to Cooper, through Roxton, Ben Franklin, Pecan Gap, and Ladonia. Stupid little POS Phillips 66 in Ladonia doesn't let customers use the restroom. Then over to Bonham. Down through Bailey and Celeste, to Farmersville, Bland, and back to Greenville. Little chilly, but not bad.
