Doing a game with ebitengine myself. Refreshingly nice experience.
Just another page counter in the 90s - a game in 21st century ...
Maybe you don't use it very often? For months before the recent chaos it was very reliable. The fact that it's working today is only because I fixed it, Twitter didn't change anything.
It works great. Don't pay attention to the philosophers.
I quit twitter when I discovered it. Thank you.

If you have to be an employee- nobody is forcing you to make the job your whole life.
Whether you are at risk of getting laid off or not - not having friends outside work is a bad idea.

I just unsubscribed using web form. There are some dark patterns involved but not too dark. E.g. first option is the chat with representative, second is the call by phone and third option is the web form.
After I have navigated 3 pages using "default button" for canceling the unsubscription process - it is done.
It's not the best experience, but not the nightmare the OP described.
>I also worked for Siemens. There too I didn't try to screw any users, I just tried to make trains run cheaper, faster and more reliably.
So I say this based on personal experience. The Siemens' sales force uses their size and influence (especially with existing customers) to absolutely screw over customers and smaller competitors with better products. Siemens is no different than many other big companies who can use all sorts of unethical (but legal) tactics to sell.
It's very possible to work as an engineer in a big company and have zero idea as to what everybody else is doing to screw people over.
Not only that. Siemens bribes people from the governments in third world countries to get the work from the government and totally destroys the local competition an the taxpayers.of those countries.
