He doesn't have to accept

I've discovered that there are a lot of medium-tier software engineers who immediately will go straight to horizontal scaling (i.e: just throw hardware at it), and I've seen instances where very highly skilled engineers just write their code better, set things up on a bare metal server, cache things, etc. and manage with just a single badass server

Had two bullies in elementary school. One of them died in a car accident a month after high school graduation. The other went on to have a mildly successful college basketball career which was cut short when he was hit by a car.

No, I was not driving either car

What was it like being on the train? Is it comfortable? What's the food like? Always wanted to do an overnight train through the south

In principle: no. But Americans no longer have any principles (or never did in the first place)

eh the design is very flat

I've been working on writing my own forum in C# lately. Meant to look like some places I went on back in 2009-ish

So it's your opinion that corporations were not greedy before 2020?

Is it truly your belief that corporations were not greedy over the last 15 years, but somehow got really greedy at the same time that there were major supply chain shocks across the planet? Or is it more likely that "corporate greed" is a more enticing answer to a complex economic problem?

If the price increases were purely inflation then it would stand to reason that profits wouldn’t have gone up so much

During inflation, the value of EVERYTHING goes up. Companies pull in more money because money is not worth as much as it was

It's just inflation. Corporate greed is a poor excuse for price increases

I use proton vpn

I was perfectly happy with streaming services for a couple years when there were only like 2 good ones. I stopped torrenting for a long time and now I'm back to torrenting again

Communism is the original bootlicking

Tbh it seems like there are no good alternatives to protonmail. You just have to host your own

How's that boot taste

Yeah just had to genocide a few million Ukrainians to get there!

Yeah that's why the Soviet union outcompeted capitalism in the 1980s lmao

Can't imagine wanting to work for big tech these days lol. These companies had insane reputation in the 2010s. People thought working for Google was like working in willy wonka's chocolate factory. They really squandered their brand.

I had a bitwarden premium family plan
