If you just hold and don't sell, at some point wouldn't there be no sellers to meet the buying demands?

I feel like it matters what race you are :(

My [white] friend has touted some of the friendliest places, but me being Korean...nope. A large number of places are very cold and passive-aggressive.

That said, not typically violent like America, but still not exactly welcoming.

Then I guess we'll have to do everything we can to get it sub $100.

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

I would love to see more of things like this.

Dollar Store might be better, but I'll take what I can get.

I was raised Christian. I was taught homosexuality was a sin. I used to angrily preach at others to convert them or they'll burn in hell. etc. etc.

Fuck those people

That said, no, I have not succeeded in shifting anyone's views ever. Typically the people I encounter are beyond saving unless the things happening directly impact them.

Hopefully 6ft under when someone finally gets to him.

Thank you

Jesus I'm fighting back tears while sitting at a bar.

Awesome.

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.

Why can't they just use them anyway? Like, who the fuck cares, there's no rule of law anymore anyway.

Nice.

With the cheese and salami add a tiny dot of Beaver Creek Hot Honey mustard.

Jesus fucking christ.

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.

I agree. I hate using a mouse and generally avoid it, and still the productivity gains I get from using something like VS Code versus Vim with plugins to the max are impossible to ignore.

When I'm juggling like 3 development contracts at once, it's dumb of me to not use every little gain in productivity possible. I don't have time to spend a day recreating a plugin to my liking in Vim when something already exists that gets me 99% of the way there. I don't care about the extra RAM use because I have plenty of that.

I think some people just like to die on this hill out of principle, and that's whatever, more power to them.

The suffering is the point.
