This is insane, wtf have you Trump voters done.
Sorry, but this does not place enough blame on those that didn't vote (about 90 million people). I will hold responsible anyone with a heartbeat who did not vote at all in 2024.

Companies should automate this. Write their own outage monitoring, feed the results, plus the cumbersome format you have to send to the provider, into an LLM, have it spit out an email requesting SLA credits or whatever the contract specifies.
Probably not worth it for low cost services, but if you’re paying GitHub $x millions per year, maybe it is.
Some customers of my product, StatusGator, do this with our API. They can extract the outage data -- including the time when we detect the outage before its acknowledged. And then use that to get SLA credits.

Thank you for this breakdown and for this level of transparency. We have been thinking of moving from MapTiler to OpenFreeMap for StatusGator's outage maps.
We're seeing a lot of downstream effects of this at StatusGator. Of course any provider that relies on LetsEncrypt to issue certs (such as Heroku) is affected.
One notable exception is Cloudflare: They famously no longer rely solely on LetsEncrypt.
> Mozilla couldn't find a sustainable business model for Fakespot despite its popularity
I don't know if it's fair for me to armchair quarterback, but still - what was their business model when they decided to do the acquisition? From the outside looking in barely did anything whatsoever.
I browse Amazon using Firefox extremely often and I don't recall seeing any helper UI pop up. Even so, what would have been their strategy to monetize me? User data? Commissions? Some kind of Mozilla+ subscription?
I love FF and cheer Mozilla on where I can, but honestly these decisions are inscrutable.
I recall seeing the Mozilla Review Checker pop up on Amazon shortly after I started using it as my daily driver.
I dismissed it quickly because fake reviews is not a problem I have. Maybe I'm not the target market? I do buy a lot on Amazon but can't recall ever thinking I felt burned by fake reviews.

Absolutely insane. Until recently, I had none. Now I at least have a LinkedIn account. My mother has no social media at all.

Running a mail server in 2025 so fraught, I'd caution anyone against attempting it. Not sure why you would want that trouble with so many options available, including privacy-focused vendors.
If Proton is not appealing, what about mailbox.org?
