Fuck AI

it went a bit like this: until 2018, I could still use Win7 with a local admin account = install my needed tools. Then they locked down windows to the point of becoming a typewriter with email functions, and I moved to a corporate Mac, which they had not yet enough control over. Then they removed the last proper productivity tools from that (LibreOffice etc) and locked it down as well, forcing me to use a "technical device" for my actual work, and the corporate crap machine to access intranet services, while also disallowing even webmail from the self-administrated "technical device". Meaning I had to carry two Laptops everywhere. And finally, they configured an auto-lockscreen after 5-10 minutes of inactivity on the corporate device, kinda forcing power users like me to push a key like a labrat every now and then while working on their actual work. I found a script for the Mac to keep it alive (caffeinate) but had they known they would surely have disabled it. At that point I told my boss basically "fuck this shit, I want to switch to an external contract" where I can now use my companies email, a teams guest account and a Linux system for which I am the one and only user and administrator. I feel for people who do not have this option, but even more so for the Stockholm syndrome victims who actually seem to believe that Windows enables their capabilities and is actually something you can be efficient with. Because 99% of my colleagues work way more than me to get a fraction of the work done. Poorly.
