Don't forget how much we pay for DLC. Those Blackcell Battle Passes and Beavis & Butthead skins aren't included with GamePass.

Picking up and moving as-is to cloud will cost more. Going to Azure PAAS won't save you any appreciable money because whatever opex you save will be eaten by licensing.

Switching your workload to infrastructure as code and going all in on CI/CD and serverless will, if you're any decent sized shop, save you an absolute shit-ton of money. You can reduce headcount and reduce capex and opex by orders of magnitude while delivering much more stable and reliable products to your customers.

If I had known*

Yeah I work for a state education department. We had to revamp our entire budget which included the fed piece, already been set in stone until suddenly it... Wasn't. Had to cancel a lot of projects and a fair amount of employees.

Do they not have phones?

Lisa needs braces!

My wife is a vet technician at an ER hospital. Her stories range from hilarious to heartbreaking. Glad this one had a happy ending.

Yeah I've been on Lemmy for over a year and I have no idea how it works or how I even set it up in the first place. I use it on mobile and decided to try browsing it on my desktop but had no idea how to log in. What's my instance? Why does it seem like I have separate logins on multiple instances?Which user/password do I use?

Oh, and trying to submit things on mobile is impossible as well. I don't have permission to submit to some community because it's on another instance? I can't just, ya know, federate my existing login session? Well fuck me for trying, I guess.

I gave up and just went back to old.reddit.com. Reddit on PC, Lemmy on mobile.

Working on my PC... Remember that I have to do something like pay a bill, open a support ticket etc... I click new tab.... While it's opening I tell myself that I just need to remember for a few more seconds but by the time the tab opens, it's gone. And I just sit there staring at the new tab wondering if it will come back to me.

Be like the squirrel, girl. Be like the squirrel.
