Oracle has recently been outdone by the new WMWare. Apparently our renewal amount increased by something like 6,000%.
Ouch. I used to use them (I assume you mean VMWare) when I worked there. Moved to Hyper-V once I was forced to update Workstation (which meant money). Starting to move to VirtualBox now that signing code requires a USB fob and HV doesn't play nicely.

Oops. Yeah, VMWare. I'm not really involved, but the story went something like...the customer kind of cheaped out and we bought a package a bit less than we really needed / should have had, and now that's come due (in that I think they don't offer whatever it was we bought before) in addition to crazy price hikes.
-
@boomzilla I do remember reading (a few months ago?) about drastic price hikes for them.

Yeah, interruptions suck and it's easy for people to ping you via instant messaging.
Easy to ignore too.
@boomzilla said in In other news today...:
And you can ignore them for a while. You just need the balls to do it.
I guess this depends who you're ignoring. If like me the people on Teams are either internal or contractors we pay, they're probably easier to ignore than if I was a contractor ignoring a paying customer.

@dcon what I read was that their plan basically revolved around forcing everyone into subscription, ignoring the needs of every customer besides their ~100 biggest enterprise ones, and in return milking the ever-living fuck out of them.

Being an enterprise software purchaser is getting paid to be a masochist. NTTAWWT.

they're not walking over to your cube.
That'd be a long walk. According to Google, my nearest coworker (that I know of) is at least an 11-day walk in each direction. Remote working has its advantages.

Does SAP have a newer warehouse management module? Why? We aren't even ready moving our customers from WM to eWM!

I need to know why I’m writing an alarm clock in my service to send a message to your service to make a rest call to my service! Why are you ignoring me!
I have unsettled issues.

Look! There are some companies out in the wilderness outcompeting and me regarding oldest stuff:
My SQL Server is 2008. Not sure if with or without R2...

I should be allowed to shoot people who talk about the spirit of the law.

@DogsB What do you have against spirit, legal or otherwise?

High taxes for feeding a growing bureaucracy are bad. News from an ancient era.

Your files are right where you left them.

This is a few days old, but I haven't seen it reported here, yet.
TL;DR: Adobe pushes consumers to their subscription model. () However, they make it difficult for consumers to find a couple of important facts about the subscription program. The minimum subscription term is one year. There is a substantial termination fee, 50% of the remaining payments. While these may be legal, hiding them from customers isn't.

No.

@DogsB There's also the minor detail that the employees haven't been paid for 6 months.
: Unpaid game dev. I have experience with that. Naked female coworkers? How soon can I start?

Apparently, they were planning a mass execution of local politicians to set off a second viking age.,
I mean, Europe could do with some viking to clear out all the bullshit, but I doubt murdering a few nobodies would set off a cascade effect in the nordics to bring the old ways back.
