“I think the customer has spoken. That’s the punchline,” said Jim Farley, the chief executive of Ford.
The American boss was speaking last week as his company unveiled a $5bn (£3.7bn) annual loss, barely two months after it had booked a shock $19.5bn write-down.
The cause? An aggressive bet on electric vehicles (EVs) that backfired spectacularly.
Ford isn’t the only automotive giant counting the costs of a failed bet on electric.

This probably isn't of much interest to anyone outside FBE, but it's an entertaining anecdote of the kind of stuff a would-be instance owner has to deal with.
So the other day I got a rude awakening when I checked my email and saw an abuse report from Vultr, the hosting provider FBE uses. Now the way they'd worded the email that went to me made it sound like it was coming from Vultr themselves: "Our automated detection system has identified activity on your account" blah blah blah, so I immediately started thinking worst-case scenario that they want to get the instance canned cause they aren't a fan of some of the admittedly top-notch content that's coming from their box. Who knew?
So I log into Vultr, look at the abuse report, and it's actually coming from somewhere else: someone manually reported FBE to Vultr themselves. Still in the same frame of mind, I just need to do whatever to keep Vultr happy: Best-case scenario I'll delete the bad posts, Vultr looks and sees they're gone and they tell me to have a nice day and fuck off. So I do that, drag @sampler (the other admin, and the guy who's bankrolled this instance since its inception) and @MK2boogaloo (the guy who made these problematic posts to begin with, keep up the good work) into a war-room DM and let them know what's going on inside my head, I tell Kero to lay low and be prepared to pack his bags (in my head I'm still not sure what they want, if they'll want him out of here or what, so I figure it's best to make it look like he's not doing anything.) until the situation's been resolved, so he goes to post over at FSE for a bit.
It's not until a few hours later that I decide to dig a bit deeper into the nature of that abuse report. The only obvious thread I can pull as to its origin is the name it's signed with, not guaranteed to lead me anywhere but I give it a tug. That leads me to this post, from the same guy:
https://toot.community/@mijndert/116080995229269674
So this guy, instead of being reasonable and blocking instances he doesn't like (or even more so and just blocking Kero, the "full of people" he speaks of is only really comprised of him), decides to take it upon himself and complain to my hosting provider. He says he sent one to Namecheap too, but I haven't heard anything from them, and I figure they have a finer screening process for abuse reports anyway: it's not against US law to host content that someone from the Netherlands doesn't like (it's always like the Netherlands or Germany with these guys, what's up with that anyway? Must be something in the water over there).
Not only that, but he points out his interest to "dox the ever living shit out of them". Hilarious. Having thrown any good faith he might have had out the window, I let Vultr know about it and tell them I won't be responding to any follow-up requests. With a lid still under all of this, I wait and see what Vultr has to say.
And this morning Vultr gets back to me, thanking me for cooperating, ticket's closed. Well that's simple, best-case scenario.
So now that the situation's been resolved I don't think I have much to say other than even if you yourself don't cause problems, other people will do it for you. Lessons in running an instance. Now it's partially my fault for not having the foresight to predict something like this happening, but since causing me problems is pretty much the only breakable rule around here, why I shouldn't be able to export my rules onto someone else if he wants to do the same for me? I don't have an axe to grind against this guy (I'd prefer if he just blocked FBE and left me alone), but I don't think he should get to complain when he pulls stunts like this against people who do. The irony is that if he just left his name out on the report I might've not ended up with more (admittedly, public) information on the guy who wants to "dox the ever living shit out of" me than he does on myself.
I hope this was the slightest bit educational or at least entertaining for everyone involved. If there's anything that needs to be said for the other side of the story I'm open to discussing it like adults, but it's not my problem if this gets to mijndert so I'm not going to tag him. If he was smart he would've blocked us by now.

>journo attacks populist rightoid anti-immigration figure Pauline Hanson
>deploys snark and explains that Pauline's anti-islam stance and inflammatory comments completely compromise her own party's attempts to gain support in other parts of the country
>points out the ultra-diverse areas of western sydney for example, which are teeming with muslims who need to be appealed to as an ethnic bloc and must have their ethnic and cultural whims be kowtowed to or else you risk electoral defeat
>sees absolutely no fucking irony in this
You don't ____ them enough.
