Indeed but also odd that quitters are citing "updated terms" for their exit but those terms mirror terms from 2024 -i.e. collecting the same information as before...
I think that means that they weren't paying much attention to the terms they now find unsavory.
It also doesn’t help that this wasn’t an open auction where people could buy the company based on the ability to make a return on invested capital, but rather was a bunch of friends of the administration hand picked to own and run the joint.
If I were American I would be afraid of what my government does if I talk about Epstein a lot. In the most extreme case they would arrest you (theyve arrested/threatened got less). China does not care
As stated you can generate backup keys, but you can also associate more than one hardware token to your account. Which is what I do. I keep a separate yibikey in a lockbox off site as a break glass option.
Given that many organizations literally refer to their employees as “Resource Units” literally abstracting away their humanity I’m going to say… yes. We are at that point (and have been for quite some time).
There are few things that make me irrationally seethe like being called a resource. I understand why they do it, I even accept that I'm nothing more than a resource to them, but it really isn't a big ask for them to refer to us as humans when speaking directly to us.

>>>absolutely insufferable human beings but were some kind of supernatural coders who were doing the work of 20 people
I don’t at all condone being that guy. However….
It’s pretty amazing what an engineer can accomplish if you can actually get into a flow state because people are too afraid/intimidated to interrupt you every 10 minutes and you aren’t being invited to endless (and mostly useless) meetings all day.
I got tired of fighting to keep Fusion running in wine so now Fusion is literally the only reason I maintain a windows partition to dual boot into. I hate that.
I’m no longer using it professionally so I could explore other options but FreeCAD kinda sucks (I will die on that hill), and OnShape offers the choice between my designs to be publicly visible, or a subscription that assumes I have a corporate expense account makes it not viable. (I don’t mind paying for good tools but there has to be a middle ground).
If Autodesk ever ported Fusion to Linux… I’d probably pay for a subscription just out of sheer elation ha.
