Sarcastically saying “Imagine X” only works if it’s not actually difficult to imagine.

They put forward legislation to ban trade with the occupied territories. In response, they got threatened with crippling economic action by their largest trading partner, the United States. A smear campaign in the US is also ongoing. In spite of that, the legislation is still moving forwards.

Literally the most anti-zionist country in Europe, but ok.

As an engineer, yes. I managed to get a pilot program off the ground at my last company. As a recently public company with a lot of IT debt, the biggest challenge was around making those devices compliant with security and IT processes, and easy for IT to provision and monitor.

It helped that I made an effort to build good connections into IT and IT leadership. The clincher was a clear proposed timeline, a commitment that it would not require any additional workload from IT, and that we wouldn’t expand it without their sign off.

Unfortunately, layoffs meant I couldn’t roll it out beyond the initial group, and when a second round of layoffs came around I took the opportunity to leave. I haven’t been looking much yet, but “allows Linux” is one of the criteria I’m measuring companies against.

With the “everything is an Xbox” mantra, there’s no reason to have a capable PC and an Xbox anymore. I don’t mind waiting for PS games on my PC either, leaving only Nintendo still having some appeal.

Fuck off with the AI slop mascot.

Hashtags used to be placed inline due to character limits. That’s much less of an issue now, and many people place useful tags below their post to make their content easier to read while also remaining more discoverable.

Residency and place of purchase is what matters, citizenship has nothing to do with it.

I think you’re sort of right. It’s not simply because they’re popular, it’s because the popularity means they get inescapable radio play. Over time you resent it more and more.

They rotate them across different SSIDs to make it harder to track you. in a residential setup they should basically never rotate.

I think all they can really say is it’s not on the near horizon, but every public company will enshittify at some point. I can’t see a future where the investors will be OK for anything but going public or an acquisition by a public company. It’s just a question of when, and when they start to turn the screw.
