Unfree

Ghosted after 3 interviews and 3 assignments.

There was never a real chance at a job here. This is just a company scamming for free work. They are probably doing this to multiple “candidates” at the same time. Has become increasingly common.

I’ll take a short test or do something tiny to show I know what’s up. I will not do any assignments. Not gonna redesign someone’s whole network or environment for free. If I do, I’ll make it look plausible but it’ll be a trainwreck if they attempt to implement.

Do not fucking work for free.

Why Microsoft? Why? – New Outlook.

Like most new software, the new Outlook is terrible. Outlook was never great but it served its purpose. Now it’s a turd wrapped in lamprey slime topped with decomposing rat carcasses.

It’s not fit for purpose, but it is shit for purpose. Even the paid “you just hate change” shills aren’t popping up to stan for this utter abomination. They know they would not be convincing as it is such a deficient product. Microsoft just does not care any longer and as long as that sweet, sweet SaaS revenue is flowing in, I guess they don’t have to.

Culture Move

The Republican party has become a full-fledged anti-sex movement.

True, but the real issue is that the right and the left in the US are both anti-sex now, they just manifest this tendency in somewhat different ways. The right’s variant is worse and more authoritarian, because of course it is. But the left is also quite anti-sex with a side of anti-men now, and that assists the right in achieving their goals as there is so little pushback from the left these days on these topics.

The prudes are winning, in other words. Both sides of the aisle are guilty, though not equally so.
