- Comment on Mullvad has partnered with Obscura VPN 2 months ago:
Mullvad is blocked quite often so this has me curious.
- Comment on Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ 2 months ago:
He’s really on a roll. X is a racist right-wing extremist horror show for any person with fucking common sense and forums are banning links to it. Got dumpstered by PoE community for boosting until he admitted it. Made fun of mercilessly by *nix geeks for his moronic woke mind tweet. Pivoted to “trolling” like he just discovered /pol and he can’t even do the salute correctly. He’s not good at anything. Even Trump looks visibly disgusted in every picture where they’re together.
- Comment on Nightingale Developer Inflexion Games Is Laying Off Staff 5 months ago:
They jumped the gun releasing without a campaign at launch. People were merciless in reviews about that. It’s better since that was added but still feels a bit hollow. I hope this isn’t a mistake because it has potential and seems like it’s evolving quickly.
- Comment on “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock 5 months ago:
They’re also assholes as customers. Worked for a company that did monitoring for them and they were an absolute nightmare to deal with. They were so demanding of our time and liked to wave around legal threats so often that eventually management shelled out for a consulting company (who were SMEs with our product) just to manage their install.
- Comment on Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate 6 months ago:
Yeah this attrition is expected by Amazon. IBM and others did this earlier. If enough people choose to RTO they will do “real” layoffs and get a pat on the back in the news for not letting as many people go as they would have had to before. Optics I guess. IIRC this is the second round for Amazon.
Some are saying companies are doing this to keep their property values up but I think that’s only one facet. What I don’t see being called out often is companies doing this are hiring replacements overseas in tax havens and/or where they can pay less for talent. Real kicker is, those hires wind up being remote anyway to the anchor offices.
