Fuck Subscriptions
Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

If your consulting skills are on par with your reading comprehension skills I am not afraid in the slightest.
Just to clarify, there is the IT director and then there's me and then there's all of the other it employees in the entire company (about 50 people).
And we don't hire jackass consultants who barely managed to get their GED and had to be dragged out of their mother's basement to show up and make fun of us.
We actually laugh when your sales people call us thinking that they're going to make a quick buck doing some bullshit work that we've already got under control.
Interesting. Do you throw a tantrum over everything? Or just stuff that you don't understand?
Do you just seek out strangers on the internet to cause of being redundant validate your own fragile self worth?
I'm confused about that middle part there. I get the idea though.
