Glad life is going better for you these days! I’m sure your kiddo is proud of you for moving on

Also trying to avoid this setup

You got me curious since it’s been ages since I uninstalled Reddit and it’s actually crazy how much more invested I am in Lemmy comments.

This is what it comes down to. Nearly every office job pays for the Microsoft enterprise suite and office 365 subscriptions, before tacking on third party tools for monitoring and info. sec. for IT. I would gladly ditch Office 365 for Open Office and Debian, assuming all the higher ups would be willing to take such drastic measures to reduce expenses. I think most employees would balk at learning “an entire new system” regardless of how minor the differences actually are at this point.

I’ll give 'em this: Microsoft’s model creates very sticky revenue with high switching costs.

It’s all about how you play in my experience. If you want to get a basic factory up and go slug hunting, super chill. If you want to sink your spreadsheet teeth into optimizing every resource available and build a non-spaghettified factory, plenty of room to go hard core.

Any iOS Amp users that can recommend Amp? Seems like there’ll be either a huge number of streams or almost none
