Personally, I value human life much more than I value corporate profit.

I've seen people (whether they be college students or just people living paycheck to paycheck) talking about how they only have e.g. $5 USD to spend on groceries for the next two weeks (because that's how much they have in their bank account, and that's when payday is).
If your choices are "something you can pay for at the dollar store at a less-than-optimal unit price" or "something you literally cannot buy because its purchase price exceeds the number in your bank account" then you really don't have a choice.
Poor people don't want dollar stores; they just want to survive.
Or Joyce is just that impenetrable. Have you seen Finnegans Wake?
(No idea if it would go anywhere in court, but when has that ever stopped someone?)
> For example, he told-LTM 18 employees that he wanted to hire a female candidate simply because he wanted to have sex with 19 her. Similarly, Lee expressed his desire to set up a "modeling agency" in the Hollywood Hills that 20 would actually be a front for illegal prostitution (i.e., the "models" would be paid escorts). To that 21 end, Lee circulated a memo to male LTM executives advising them to make sure and wear 22 condoms when having sex with the "models." Lee went so far as to state that he planned to move 23 LTM's offices to the Hollywood Hills mansion once the "modeling agency" was set up.
The wording which was actually used makes it clear that that was not the case.
I live by myself. There is nothing in my home that can/will distract me, aside from the internet--which I can just as easily use as a distraction from an office.
When I was at the office, it was not uncommon for someone to walk up and strike up a conversation that lasted 20 or 30 minutes and was completely unrelated to work.
And, on top of that, there's currently one single person I can think of of who a) I interact with regularly at work and b) works from the same office as me (if I were to go back to my employer's local office).
(Also, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that your entire "argument" is an Appeal To Tradition logical fallacy anyways)
With that said, I do think you have a point--spending ~90 years in a nursing home because you're unable to take care of yourself sounds like a miserable existence straight out of a dystopian novel.
How about "Don't say at release time that you'll support something for 10 years, and then change your mind a year later and say that you'll be dropping support in a year?"
(Yeah, I'm still not over that)
1. They misunderstand what AllowedIPs actually does
2. They don't understand networking.
WireGuard is _incredibly_ simple. Not easy. Simple. You configure your peering on each side, and what you end up with is--as far as userspace can tell--a perfectly normal layer 3 interface. You are then free to configure your firewall rules and route tables however you like in order to achieve your goals.
If you understand networking (and how to perform network configuration on Linux), then this is a powerful tool. If you don't understand networking, then you end up writing posts like this.
Classy.
Simpler? Eh, maybe. But easier? Nah. Contact just about anyone from just about anywhere. Never need to carry a paper map (or several). Be able to look up just about any information you could need. Etc etc
Yeah, it's not "collective revenge," it's just equal treatment. Companies have been treating candidates like this for ages; they really shouldn't act so shocked when the candidates return the favor.
