Wait, Google Cloud finally added hard caps on spending per service? I've been wanting that for so many years! They sure took their sweet time.

Edit: Ugh it's fake. Literally only works for four random services, unsupported for all the rest. Completely useless for all of my projects. Also dumb that the only supported term is "monthly" considering that months are different lengths, and that they don't bother to account for credits or discounts. Maybe next decade they'll get around to implementing something useful.

It was fucking on purpose, if we had a functioning government, this is one of things they would have nailed them on.

As awful a practice as it is, I'd _much_ rather have an internet where its reform is prompted by competition than by the cops.

		Yeah, should should should. They should compete on features, not how they screw their customers less.

		`> reform is prompted by competition than by the cops` i think we all would prefer this, but then who prompts the competition?

		But it isn’t and won’t be, so we need to do the next best thing
