Well I’m trapped in it (purchased software, connected devices). The fence is knee-high at most though.

I’m using both iPhones and Android phones (vanilla and rooted), the only valid point you make is about using themes. I belong to to the 99,9% of users who don’t bother.

You forgot some important feature that Android phones have: They don’t pester you too much about privacy: they allow apps per default to use the GPS, message you, etc. Also they come with a lot of unneeded apps preinstalled, some of these being impossible to deinstall

FYI: Elon Musk on his crypto portfolio: I only own bitcoin, ether and dogecoin

He sits on a pile of Doge that’s worth less than half of what he paid. He was never shy of manipulating stock or (crypto)currency valuations as there are never legal consequences for him. Let’s see if enough of his horde of simps is dumb enough to be his bag holders of Doge.

He’s shilling Dogecoin, that’s all. He needs some simps to be his bagholders.

Romani ite domum!

Now write that 100 times!

If Döpfner/Springer are behind Politico it is fucking poison.

Same for me but I also got the info that there is only enough budget for a few “exceeds” bonuses. So the official reviews needed to match the bonuses. So if you had a great team only the bosses darlings would get the bonus. The rest can burn out for nothing.

In addition they had a peer performance bonus factor. This means if you outperform your peers you get a bonus. I actually had a reviewer ask me to rat on my peers so I can elevate my chances getting the bonus while lowering theirs. I gladly left that place shortly after.

You need to stop feeding the trolls.

I was at a college American football game in Florida some time ago. It was upsetting to be asked to swear allegiance to something like every 15 minutes. Like calm down dudes I’m just being here being forced to watch a Handegg game.

Yep, they might as well go all the way and also wear armbands.

Possibly. It’s hard to know without seeing the numbers and assessing output quality and volume.

Also it’s not unheard of that some bigwig wastes millions of company €€ for some project they fancy. (Billions if they happen to be Elon)
