>Far more useful are the 'independent status pages' maintained by enthusiasts that are unaffiliated with whomever they are measuring.

unless, like this one, they:

- treat "some copilot chat models are failing" and "teams notifications app down" as a major outage, the same as git operations or actions failing... those are very obviously nowhere near the same operational impact and its dishonest to group them as the same

- aggregate downtime so that there is greater than 1 day of possible downtime in a 24 hour period. if 3 services are down for the same 1pm-2pm time period, that is being counted as 3 hours of downtime despite a developer only being impacted for 1 hour.

it would be cool to have an accurate status page. the only two options seem to be company-owned status pages (incentivized to under-state impact) and karma-hunter/meme status pages (incentivized to make as much red as possible for retweeting or whatever).
