That person doesn’t get invited to parties.

I have a bit of insider knowledge on this, and you’d be surprised at how demented a CIO can be at getting away from a company that has pissed them off. VMware is no exception, and I personally know of 2 companies, which are top 5 in the world in their field, that have been exploring alternatives to VMware. The internal culture at VMW has been one of upping prices to match what broadcom will want for almost a year, and it’s causing clients to go elsewhere. Companies with an effective monopoly can still fuck it all up.

Since they already deal with a fair few of VMware’s customers themselves, I’d say they probably bought VMW to bolster it’s software offerings. They seem to be wanting to get rid of a lot of the staff there, so customers tend to build relationships with their vendors, and burning those bridges ain’t going to help there.

Unfortunately, I can’t point at a place on the map and say "Volcano time a-go-go baby!’ and have a volcano spontaneously erupt there.

Cheap clothes are crappy. More on this story at 11.

You can still buy well made clothes that’ll outlast the person wearing them, they just cost more.

Tankies are certainly far left, but they, like the MAGA idiots, are authoritarian. They’re all bootlickers, just different boots.

To paraphrase all the words “Only country where this keeps happening, changes nothing, surprised that it keeps happening”

Well, it tells me my rap name is nginx. Cool.

You can blame Marge for that.

Ah, the ol’ Trigger’s Broom!

If you look at the UK, they vote with pencils - all because there is the remote possibility of replacing a pen with one that has disappearing ink.

lol no. Voting with pencils is because they’re cheap, abundant, don’t leak, don’t smudge when folding the ballot paper. It’s recommendation, not a law No nonsense about disappearing ink.

Source: Am from UK and have voted with a pen (blue, black, green and red ink) and a pencil.

In Switzerland, bus travel (and all the rest of the public transit system, including trains, trams and boats) is fuckin fantastic, just so you know.

Don’t forget that Donny is also old. So Old > Old Fascist.

Putey’s word is worthless, he went back on the nuclear treaty with Ukraine, and he’s done so on everything else. Anyone who trusts him at his word is a sucker.

Brainy Men.

Oh look, it’s both-sides-guy!
