Yes but also I’ve just put electrical tape over many an item.

The RGB craze is the worst.

Well, I deleted my account so that won’t work. But that’s crazy if that’s true (not doubting you).

Yeah, because we’ll burn them to the ground. Either physically or financially. If America ever makes it out of this, people like this deserve no rehabilitation or sympathy.

This. I have to go out of my way to even see my wife’s posts (well, before I deleted Facebook).

2/3rds of my feed are ads.

This metric is bullshit because they fucked up the waters.

lol what, Discord enshittified years ago.

I dumped mine, originally was estimated to be a $92 fee or something to walk away from the lease.

Just found out a couple of days ago they’re charging me every fee under the sun. Now they want $4000. Have to put it on a credit card. It royally sucks, but I’m still glad I ditched it.

They probably will, but in ascending order.

Some people I know will blame Obama, Hilary, and Biden.

So, yeah.

Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.

The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.

One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.

Fuck Oracle.

Guess we need to get norm-shattering violent.

It’s not even viable for me. I simply cannot use Linux daily because all my jobs require software that doesn’t have a Linux version, or it does but it’s lacking necessary features, or there’s an alternative but I have to burn extra hours making it work with their systems/setup - hours I don’t have.

Or I have to use internally configured Remote Desktop profiles over a VPN (not to be confused with RDP), and you can’t do that specific use case on Linux because it requires using the company’s internal Windows Store with specific Remote Desktop installation.

Or I have to use a specific Outlook instance, locally installed, because somehow they’ve blocked web access (I still haven’t figured out exactly how they set this up).

After a 12 hour day, sure, I can switch back to my dual boot Linux instance and spend 1-2 hours for personal use. But the ratio is still Windows-leaning no matter how you slice it.

On it.

Yeah, this might actually make me sign back up just to script kiddie the shit out of things.

I love this. I love this so much.

Must not be looking very hard because they’ve been all over my general lemmy feed every few days and span multiple states, cities, and even countries.

On the protest side, Americans are turning out in droves across the nation regularly. At capitol buildings and Tesla centers and more. Our media just doesn’t over it because they’re trying to squash the efforts.

Despite that, I’m still making plans to leave the country.

They start being hunted down.

Going to be honest, didn’t realize my Brother laser printer got firmware updates, lol.

In 7 years I’ve replaced the toner cartridge once, given that the stater cartridge isn’t very full I imagine it’ll be awhile before I have to replace it again, at least.

I’m with you. Fuck this shit.
