We took the Broadcom news as the last straw to cut over to something open.
We went ProxMox and 6 hosts in, it's the best hypervisor we've ever used.

They've spent the last decade proving they can no longer make a good engine or transmission so do they even have a choice at this point?

We've completely transitioned to ProxMox and it was like walking out of a freezer into the warm sun.
They burned the bridge. We crossed the pond and will not return.

People for years have looked at me like I'm out of my mind when I recommend they "leave the cloud" or "don't trust someone else's server".
Clients continue to sign up for cloud platforms and just "trust" that they'll be safe.
It's complete insanity and headlines like this never make any difference at all. Nobody with buying power reads articles like these.
It probably won't all come at once, but all of these systems and platforms are doomed.
Never mind that the cloud platforms are also being backed up to OTHER CLOUD SERVICES.
GET THE HELL OUT OF THE CLOUD. PERIOD.

Mint is easily the best option for people finally moving away from Microsoft's extortion and abuse. Solid as a rock, Windows-like interface, and feature rich.

Submission + - Former Mozilla Exec: Google Has Sabotaged Firefox for Years (zdnet.com) 2
An anonymous reader writes: A former high-ranking Mozilla executive has accused Google of intentionally and systematically sabotaging Firefox over the past decade in order to boost Chrome's adoption. He is not the first Firefox team member to come forward and make such accusations in the past eight months; however, his allegations span far beyond current events and accuse Google of carrying out a coordinated plan that involved introducing small bugs on its sites that would only manifest for Firefox users.
"When Chrome launched things got complicated, but not in the way you might expect. They had a competing product now, but they didn't cut ties, break our search deal — nothing like that. In fact, the story we kept hearing was, 'We're on the same side. We want the same things'," Johnathan Nightingale, a former General Manager and Vice President of the Firefox group at Mozilla said. "I think our friends inside Google genuinely believed that. At the individual level, their engineers cared about most of the same things we did. Their product and design folks made many decisions very similarly, and we learned from watching each other.
"But Google as a whole is very different than individual googlers," Nightingale said. "Google Chrome ads started appearing next to Firefox search terms. Gmail & [Google] Docs started to experience selective performance issues and bugs on Firefox. Demo sites would falsely block Firefox as 'incompatible'," he said.
"All of this is stuff you're allowed to do to compete, of course. But we were still a search partner, so we'd say 'hey what gives?' And every time, they'd say, 'oops. That was accidental. We'll fix it in the next push in 2 weeks. Over and over. Oops. Another accident. We'll fix it soon. We want the same things. We're on the same team. There were dozens of oopses. Hundreds maybe?"
