I’m m an Infrastructure architect and engineer, this is the same problem in enterprise. Cloud, SaaS, proprietary vendors, they all want to lock you. Time and place for all of it, but you’ve gotta know what you are getting yourself into.

I have an 86 45 shirt I used to wear during the first term.

I hung up and ordered an 86 47 shirt. Wearing it today in fact.
I’m so tired of all these attempts on his life.

yes, work in progress actually..
With how fucking slow windows has gotten on my work PC with all the copilot bullshit, I’m pretty sure MS is doing the same thing. No proof, just a painfully slow machine after getting all the AI updates..
I hate having that machine in my house, on my network.
He’s only concerned because he knows his and his allies actions are so bad, one might say biblically bad, that he’s trying to control the narrative to look in another direction.
I know, but it’s not really a misspelling though, Milquetoast was named after milktoast.
