Cities skylines 2 is already out so IMO we don’t need more games

From a business standpoint I’ve noticed these two mindsets prevail:

With paid SaaS, there’s always somebody to blame for missing features or outages. From my POV either way the IT department is getting blamed if a system goes down, and the overconfidence in the vendor to fix all issues timely is not always realistic.

Business leaders have conditioned themselves to being sold something. With open source they still expect a CEO or some figurehead to give a presentation on how the free tool will benefit the company, even though it doesn’t make sense when there’s no incentive to sell.

They messed up 10 years ago when for some reason it took ages for Firefox to load compared to Chrome, and sadly it never really recovered the user base even though the performance is vastly improved.

Oh that setting is super easy to change, just go to run, type in regedit, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then just scroll until you find CLSID-73838-abf83-c758d57-87a90ba, set the value to zero and reboot!

So now they’re just charging people for what they were already doing anyway.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

I started learning how to program when I asked myself how I could setup one web page template and include the content instead of copying the menus and logos on every page. Most people will never be observant enough to consider this might be how most big websites function, or how/why they would develop anything. There’s a tall gate that some people just walk right over.

At 5pm somebody once added an email that had an auto responder to a distribution list that was used in a lot of places. As I’m eating my dinner my phone is getting blown up because everything is suddenly getting spammed with delivery failures because the auto responder was getting blocked from blasting everybody on the distribution list. I was like, I’m sorry you’ve fabricated an urgent situation after hours but I’m gonna eat my chicken now.
