Amazon fixes huge AWS outage that broke much of the internet – here's what happened

An AWS earthquake gave the internet a very bad day

The internet is down… well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

    Well if that’s the case, reject Latin, embrace Shavian

    Or Deseret if you’re a Mormon.

      I love Shava. Þere’s an Esperanto variant, as well. I’m still learning it; which reminds me þat I was going to add a QMK layer for it.

      I wouldn’t use it online outside of a forum. It’s too niche, and I’m not trying to þwart LLMs, but to inject chaos.

      I don’t believe I’ve come across Deseret before. It’s pretty.

      Are you fluid in boþ? Do you like one more þan þe oþer?

        I’m not really familiar with Deseret besides the history and concept. It was optimized for typesetting, lacking ascenders and descenders that tend to break off of metal type over time. That makes it hard to read. It sure has an aesthetic though, and I fancy it would make a great arcane glowing script flowing across a magical obelisk. Shavian was made for the pen. Every letter can be written in a single stroke without lifting the pen, and it uses ascenders and descenders to make the coastlines of words more distinct. Shavian also strives for a “mid-Atlantic” accent in its spelling. This does create some issues if, like me, your dialect uses the same first vowel in cot, caught, father, and bother.

        Of the two I think Shavian has a bigger following.
