Vaguely related, but there is an awful movie released that tried to capture that sweet sweet rollerblade money in the 90s called Prayer of the Roller boys.

It’s the equivalent of a $0.52 fine if you earn $60k a year.

Equivalent to about $85 if you make $50k a year. (Using Wells Fargo annual reportes revenue) So more or less a parking fine.

Any guesses on how much they actually made on the backdoor deals?

100% this. A former coworker was fired a month ago because he filed an HR complaint about his boss, because the boss was being an asshole to him (according to co worker).

This is the same boss who joked about beating his wife and kicking his dog in a meeting, so I’m fairly certain it’s true.

HR is NEVER your friend.

If you are willing to put in a fair amount of effort, you can have a smart home without accounts anywhere.

Most of the account based stuff is based upon open specs.

But you have to be somewhat technical and patient.

You aren’t wrong, but there are some of us who just made the jump to using Lemmy more ”seriously" because of the good bye message. I’ll probably stick to reddit on my computer, but stick to Lemmy on my mobile.

Death (to reddit) by a thousand cuts, you know?
