? How? -> LibreOffice
Have you never worked in an office before? IT doesn't just let you install whatever you want on work machines.
We know alternatives exist... They're not always available.
well 'scuse you, but you said you were a software developer. any SW dev worth their money can at the very least get a self-administrated technical device not to be hooked up to the intranet, because corporate IT sucks donkeyballs.
What would be the point of that?
You're just saying dumb shit now to avoid having to admit you're just wrong.
if I have to explain to you what the point of a technical device that you can self-administrate would be, then chances are you are not a software developer.
... What purpose would a not-connected-to-the-intranet device serve for my job which requires I check in my code to the local fucking intranet.
You have no fucking idea what software developers do, do you? You think IT is going to be fine with usb drives being used to transfer proprietary code back and forth - that's a security nightmare and not worth the effort. Not that it would work because the is be unable to connect to the servers or databases the code I'm developing uses.
Having a self administered machine, in the office, that I can't use to do my job is pointless
Thank you for confirming you have never worked in an office.
Whatever you tell yourself to sleep at night.
Why do so many people on lemmy keep saying this as if it suddenly makes the rest of their argument less stupid?
