  I’m sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.

  I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.

  I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.

  And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.

  As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don’t look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.

  I hope opportunity knocks for you.

  25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.

  BUT, I prefer learning by reading, not videos.

  What did I miss?

  Cure53 concluded their report by stating that they “…attempted to identify any potential methods by which a user’s VPN traffic anonymity or integrity could be compromised. No such issues were found, and no vulnerabilities affecting the core product were detected.”

  Nope. As a Linux user, even I’m annoyed.

  I’ve seen people ask legitimate Windows troubleshooting questions and then don’t get an answer but dozens, if not more, messages to switch to linux.

  It drives people away.

  It’s not even “artificial intelligence”.

  Seriously, “artificial intelligence” suggests, (defines?) self aware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Front VLC blog, link in post above

  “After months of slow back-and-forth over email trying to find a compromise, including offering to exclude LGPL code from the assets, Unity basically told us we were not welcome back to their Store, ever. Even if we were to remove all LGPL code from the Unity package.

  Where it gets fun is that there are currently hundreds if not thousands of Unity assets that include LGPL dependencies (such as FFmpeg) in the Store right now. Enforcement is seemingly totally random, unless you get reported by someone, apparently.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney’s password-sharing crackdown has begun⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market,” where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.[2]
