Yeah, this is one scenario where the principles in F2P games like MOBAs applies to the business world. Focusing only on the top X companies and losing that market share has a cascading effect where it's harder to find competent administrators, it's harder for those administrators to find support online (which then means they have to call for the support they pay for - which while good in the short term for VMWare, is frustrating for the customer, and means that the extra money they're charging has to partially be used to cover techs to provide said report). The little fish in a market like this help to provide what is essentially free troubleshooting online via stack overflow etc. And giving that market share to competitors gives them the cash flow and experience to build a support system online and improve their product, and then win over the big fish.

You too! And this place could use a bit more chill for sure. People tend to forget the human on the other side of the conversation.

Fair enough. I figured if I threw a random date out, there was like a 99.99% chance that somebody was shot on that day.

Oh I wasn't trying to cuss you out, sorry if it came off that way. It's early and I usually filter out my language a bit before posting but I commonly use curse words for emphasis and stuff. I blame it on being a (former) sailor. And thanks, I may have misread that - that's what I get for commenting before I even had gotten out of bed.

358 crashes in a year is close enough to an average of one per day that it's pretty fucking pedantic to say "but not every day - especially given that most of the time that people say something happens "every day" it's being used loosely, not literally.
"People get shot by cops every day" is a phrase that is effectively accurate, even if nobody happened to be shot on, say, February 21st.

Olives exist to be pressed and processed for oil. Olive oil is delicious, but I can't stand olives themselves.

As another millennial... you're not wrong, but you basically put the bar on the floor there. The funniest thing about most boomer humor is that they actually think they're clever.

I think you're confused. The men's lib community is a progressive, feminist-supporting space focused on giving men an opportunity to discuss matters of vulnerability and struggle. They try to help people struggling with mental issues hard times, and discuss how to counter toxic masculinity type shit.
I'm not involved in the Lemmy community but I used to check out the Reddit one back when I still got on there. The toxic neckbeard shit that's up in arms about the overblown man v bear shit is the MRA ("men's rights") group.

But the problem with that is if she doesn't say some stupid shit to piss people off, she won't be in the news. And could you IMAGINE no longer being relevant enough to hold on to that attention? It's horrid.

That's not to say that she doesn't genuinely hold her shitty views, but she can't just shut the fuck up because then she wouldn't get any attention anymore, especially after pissing off a large portion of her core audience.

It was an absurd Pepsi commercial

That game was way better than a clear product placement game has any business being.

When a company stops supporting devices like this, the devices and their documentation and code should be required to enter the public domain. It should not be allowed for assistive devices to become e-waste stuck in a patient's body.
