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.

@boomzilla said in In other news today...:
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.

WMWare
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.

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.
-
@Carnage Reading TFA, I see these were criminal charges against members of the sect rather than viking battle charges. Disappointing.

Oh really? Have you seen the people on Viking Cruises? What would you expect from them? Hitting people with their walking sticks, and filling their walkers with loot?

You should try the special event cruises. Like the metal ones, or the biker ones.

Anyway, I think they will stop by Kanji, that could get really expensive.
