  • Yeah but that time is long gone. Finance is throwing number in air of growth and profitability that must be met no matter what, and IT have to battle between what is effective, what the company tell them to do and what the users want, and in many case, the IT has a misplaced elitist attitude, like every user should know the infrastructure by heart and fix their problem themselves.







  • It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

    You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

    It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

    I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.




  • The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

    That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

    We’ve seen this move over and over.

    Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

    Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.





  • I live in Canada dickwad, I know what cold winters are, so cut your whining.

    Remote start is a great QoL, and that’s why scummy companies hide it behind a paywall.

    If enough people pay for the subscription, companies will keep doing it.

    So the first step is push back and stop buying from companies that does that.

    Second step is to not pay for the subscription when all the companies will be doing it, because let’s be real, all car manufacturers will follow suit.

    So you will have to either stay in your car, which sucks, or find a workaround like a second key or , in my case, a code on the door.

    It will inconvenience a lot of people and car manufacturers are counting on that to keep pushing that shit
