Sent a support ticket to a #service that I #subscribe to expressing my disappointment that I couldn't seem to do very basic things with their product/ service.

Bitch-ass #CustomerService #rep replies back scolding me for not viewing the "#onboarding #video".

Ok.

First off, if you have a product or a service and you only provide a "video" to teach your customers how to use your product, well... fuck you.

Videos don't work for everyone. Some of your customers might be deaf, or visually impaired.

Second, if you need a fucking #TRAININGVIDEO to teach your customers how to use your product or service you have flat out FAILED in every conceivable way.

Your product or service should be intuitive enough that your customers don't need a training video to learn how to use your product.

(I'm looking at you #ORACLE!)

Anyhow, rant over.

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.

  • If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...

#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

  • I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

But if I was wrong, I 'd not be called upon as a Linux #Sysadmin and to act as "#BenevolentDictator" in terms of Tech Stack Decisions...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social @qdot@buttplug.engineer Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options. - Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject@mastodon.social have their own @gitlab@mastodon.social / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted. - If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles@monocles.social & @gajim@fosstodon.org may be an option. - If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip@fosstodon.org / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat@fosstodon.org / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience. Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically *#Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse*…

These columns of ads…not really looking for applicants underscore the challenges facing US #TechWorkers & the striking disparities in the current #immigration landscape. As restaurants, meatpackers & countless other businesses now risk having workers targeted by #ICE, #tech employers have…escaped #Trump admin scrutiny for use of #ForeignLabor. Among companies sponsoring many #H1B employees for #GreenCards …are ones aligned w/ #Trump, such as #Oracle, #Palantir & #Musk’s #Tesla.

@ploppy @pr @hart simpel:

  • Wann sind Leute da, deren Routine,

  • wie gut sind diese finanziell gestellt (höherer Grundverbrauch = ältere Geräte = weniger Geld, höherer Spitzenverbrsuch = mehr Geräte = mehr Geld.

  • Sind die Leute in Urlaub oder auf Arbeit?

Halt alles was #Einbrecher und #Spione für nen Bruch wissen wollen - und das ohne sich wo "auffällig unauffällig" zur Observation hinzubegeben...

  • Stattdessen als schön per #API massenhaft abgreifbare Daten (bei "#Datenleck" / #Hack der Versorgers bzw. Hersteller) die dann wahrscheinlich noch nach Addresse filterbar ist.

Organisierte #Einbrecherbanden können damit quasi jeden Tag nen anderen Bruch mit minimalem Risiko vorausplanen!

Und das sind nur die Szenarien welche mir in 5 Minuten eingefallen sind.

  • Und wie wir bei #VW gesehen haben kann mit #InternetOfShit-Daten dieser Größenordnung superviel gemacht werden.

Von #Einbrüchen über #Erpressung bis hin zu #Abrechnungsbetrug geht da quasi alles.

@purrperl @why_not @jcb to me #Oracle being allowed to buy #Sun was one of the worst things that ever happened to #Software and #Technology.

Not to mention Oracle is led by an old #TechBro (#LarryEllison) who literally calls for people to 'Embrace Cyberfacism!'…
