Moderators are a special kind of special.

I got banned from the entire site for "circumventing" subreddit bans, which was because some of my alts were fed subreddits by the algorithm that I was not supposed to be on.

I missed the part that said it involved leftists, fats, or lesbians.

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

"Point us to an post about a guy given a job he is clearly unqualified"

That's literally my point -- the post isn't about the person in charge of the ministry! It's about them testing Collabora and the users just having too many issues with it. I guarantee if it was the same exact story and the minister had a male name none of you would have done this deep dive and criticism.

And why do you think she is unqualified? The Minister of Digitization doesn't need to be an expert on digitization, they need to be competent at high-level management and understanding how laws and policies work. Did she do something wrong? Would someone else have somehow convinced the 37 or however many employees who tested it not to hate it?

Yeah but for some reason Slashdot commenters jump to targeting people mentioned in the stories when they have a female first name.

"Meanwhile even questioning if the earth is flat will have you downmodded to (-1) Troll."

What you might as well have said.

They'll probably postpone is US share prices start dropping.

No browser is going to bring back the good old days.

In the long term being a dental hygienist (in the USA) is going to suck just as much as being a nurse at a corporate hospital. The same PE firms that destroyed our large clinics and hospitals are buying up the dental practices and turning them into scam machines that sell people fillings for cavities that don’t exist. Give it ten years and dental hygienists will be working six days a week for less than what Buc-ee's pays.

I don't think the main issue is the end-user software. It's all the other stuff that makes the company work. I work for a small startup, and I can list at least a dozen software platforms that we use, and I'm sure there are dozens more; none of which we could trivially migrate away from. (Fortunately, most of which I don't really want to, as they work fairly well.)

Besides the technical stuff, there's the HR benefits, the expense reporting, the door lock manager, the office reservation system, etc. I'm sure all of these are subscriptions. Many are probably quite inexpensive, but some aren't.

At some point, it will be cheaper to tell Claude, "We use the OverPriced platform. Examine our usage of it, and develop a replacement platform tailored to our needs, and include a transition plan to suck all our existing data and configurations over to the new system." But then there's one more system to support locally, which may not be worth the cost. Or if OverPriced is too ridiculous, do the same, but spin it off as FairPriced and compete.

Yeah, like that matters.

These days it's more economical to sacrifice incels.

A brown nose?

Yeah, and Trump is promising to wrap up the war immediately after the upcoming elections.
