Then you’re not going to be happy with me deploying work production code via my dedicated porn box…

That’s nothing. My coworkers node_modules directory will soon require their own NAS and dedicated 10Gbps circuits.

I call it, “subscription fatigue”.

Work bought me an iPad. It was my first foray into iOS.

I’m not sure what the app store was like before, but I couldn’t find a single app that didn’t have a subscription plan. Even a simple SSH client built using open source libraries wants $6.00/mo.

I totally understand why people groan and do a face palm any time they see yet another app wanting to charge them monthly, hoping that once there you’ll forget that you’ve subscribed.

The only reason that I paid for Sync is that I’ve seen the dev interactions and their dedication to the project. I would never ever pay for a software subscription from any of the big players. For a single person setup, I’m more than happy to do it. I donate to my favorite podcasts and my favorite designers from Thingiverse.

Late stage capitalism and the rent-seeking economy sucks. But becoming accustomed to individuals paying other individuals is one of the things we’re going to have to do to make it suck less.

That was mostly me once I found out that Lemmy had NSFW servers.

First comment. Looking forward to the new(ish) community full of familiar faces.

I have a weird request to the other Redfugees: I had considered going through and nuking my entire post history for all of my accounts. But then I realized that a lot of the advice that I’ve given on /linux and /python would be lost. I’m not a master at either, but I like to think that I’ve helped people out.

So before deleting everything as a (justified!) middle finger to a terrible CEO, take into account that what you’ve written is a part of a tapestry of internet history. 99.99% is trite. But you never know what future generations will find interesting or useful.

Just my $0.02.
