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.

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.

I love this. I love this so much.

Must not be looking very hard because they’ve been all over my general lemmy feed every few days and span multiple states, cities, and even countries.

On the protest side, Americans are turning out in droves across the nation regularly. At capitol buildings and Tesla centers and more. Our media just doesn’t over it because they’re trying to squash the efforts.

Despite that, I’m still making plans to leave the country.

They start being hunted down.

Going to be honest, didn’t realize my Brother laser printer got firmware updates, lol.

In 7 years I’ve replaced the toner cartridge once, given that the stater cartridge isn’t very full I imagine it’ll be awhile before I have to replace it again, at least.

I’m with you. Fuck this shit.

Oh, cool, didn’t know about this, throwing it on my home lab now.

Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.

Well, now I’m downloading them all and backing them up.

And the ones I can, I’m going to fork on GitHub just so they have my name.

Bring it on.

Yeah, but I mean things like fediverse banned, web archive and Wikipedia blocked, liberal news outlets blocked, etc.

I give it another year or two, tops, but I feel like it’s coming.

How long until we start getting super censored internet?

I heard that too…1ish years ago and Molly still seems to work okay. I would assume by now that Signal knows they exist, so hopefully they’ll keep playing nice.

A hardened Signal fork that works with Signal’s servers and adds features I like that Signal doesn’t support.

Thanks, I love Signal, but can we get Android tablet linking?

Molly has it.

I’d probably just set up a forwarding rule and call it good if you can’t modify it.

Right now my Proton account has a few straggling outliers forwarding to my new accounts, but I’ve mostly switched everything over to emails that are for a domain I own so it’s a little easier moving forward.

This is why I usenet.

Canceled my sub last night, ported everything to Tuta today. No issues this far.

Super disappointing, but is what it is and I’ll move on.

As a software engineer I’m down to help out on this, free of charge.
