Grok is on Twitter confirming that DOGE cuts instituted by Elon Musk are to blame for reducing NWS/NOAA’s effectiveness at providing accurate weather forecasts in the recent Texas floods.
Between USAID and NWS/NOAA cuts, there’s already enough material to start a “DOGE death toll” website.
Facts over feelings.
This is like if Nazi's sold Auschwitz merchandise to their base in 1941.

As someone who is forced to use multiple Adobe products at work, I concurr 100%. Adobe are sneaky shitty mcshittersons. And the amount of sneaky shit they sneak into your software is astounding.
The one and so far ONLY thing I have found that any Adobe package still does better than anything else is Acrobat comparing two PDFs.
No idea why my overly religious IT dept. is OK with Adobe crunching our IP in PDF form in their cloud, yet I can't use some foss tool that doesn't leave my PC.
Before I retired from the InfoSec group at the power company I worked at, we were an Adobe shop for decades. We had a lot of critical business processes built-up around Acrobat and other Adobe products. Especially in Supply Chain and Vendor Management.
Then it came down to money. (That and the constant patching.)
Finally the bean counters in IT realized how much money we were throwing away at Adobe and in less than a year we completely switched and re-tooled those business processes to move away.
It wasn't that hard.
Maybe one day your Company's bean counters will see the same light.
Can we talk for a minute about how completely ludicrous a $4T valuation is for a company like NVIDIA or Microsoft? Investors often talk about P/E: the ratio of the share price (P) to the earnings per share (E). Or, if you simplify the equation slightly, the market capitalisation (price per share multiplied by number of shares) divided by the annual profit. This is, roughly, how many years it would take the company to make the amount of money that it is valued at. For NVIDIA and Microsoft, these ratios are, roughly, 50 and 40, respectively.
The simplest model of share ownership is that you get a share of the company’s profits. In practice, that only applies to companies in the ‘cash cow’ phase, where they are no longer growing and are just redistributing all excess income to shareholders. This kind of P/E would be ludicrous for such a company. With a P/E of 50, the company would be returning at most 2% of your investment each year, which is the kind of return you get from bonds at much lower risk. The idea for growing companies is that they’re investing a lot of their profits (and money raised by diluting shares) in growth. Putting money in now lets them become more valuable and that means that you’re happy to not even get the 2% return now because you expect to get a larger return on a larger valuation in the future. If a company has a share price of 100 and, instead of giving you a 2% return, it spends five years investing in growth and turns into a company with a share price of 1,000, then gives you a 1% return, you’ll make as much in the fifth year as you would have in the first five years in total if they had just returned the money, then you’ll make the same again in the sixth.
So far, so good. But let’s think about another ration: price to maximum-possible-earning-in-shiny-pixie-land. Let’s call it Price to Pixie ratio, P/Px. There are 8B people in the world (roughly). A trillion is a thousand billion, so a 4T market cap means that you have a valuation of $500/person. That’s more than the annual disposable income for a large proportion of the population. The median wealth for people is around $8K, a number somewhat skewed by the large number of people with a lot less. These valuations are all assuming a lot of growth, but how many people can actually afford to spend more on NVIDIA or Microsoft products? Of those, how many of those would choose to? These companies are making a lot of money at the moment because of lock in. Microsoft with Win32 and Office / SharePoint, NVIDIA with CUDA. That’s very fragile.
I wouldn’t be surprised if P/Px for these companies is only very slightly lower than P/E: if everyone who could afford their products bought them, it wouldn’t move the needle on their earnings more than 50%. For either company to be at a stable P/E, you’d need everyone in the world to be spending $20/year with them. Or the people in rich countries to be spending in excess of $200/year. Can you think of any company, in any market where that would make sense? At the moment, that spending is heavily skewed to other companies burning VC money for both. For Microsoft, it’s other companies who believe that they make more in increased productivity from using their systems than using something else, but between putting up prices for M365 for features no one wants and firing all of the people who build the things customers actually care about, that doesn’t look like a long-term revenue stream. NVIDIA’s revenue comes primarily from selling to companies that sell to companies that burn VC money and make a loss. Again, not sustainable. Which may mean that Px < E for both companies.
And that’s exactly the situation that leads you to a crash.

"Robert Desnos n’est pas le seul à avoir vu en Robespierre une figure plus qu’humaine. Une « force » comme disait Victor Hugo. C’était déjà le cas de son vivant. Et cela ne sera pas sans lien avec sa mort le 10 Thermidor de l’an II (28 juillet 1794). Comme disait Hugo encore, la Révolution aura été le plus puissant pas du genre humain depuis l’avènement du Christ. Mais c’est un pas qui nous a fait entrer dans une terre inconnue. Un pays aux boussoles affolées. Depuis plus de deux-cents ans, tous ceux qui traversent l’Histoire de France et arrivent au moment de la Révolution sont soudain pris de vertige et se perdent dans le labyrinthe du Temps. C’est un problème de perception. Le 21 janvier 1793, Louis XVI a été exécuté, mais il n’est pas mort."

Duritz: I just felt there was a real callousness in our society towards women — this real arrogant, we-know-what's-best-for-you thought process returning to our culture in the last decade. I mean, obviously it's always been there, but you thought you were moving in a better direction for many years.Granted, with the MeToo movement, you got a lot of — for the first time — exposing a lot of people who were victimizing women. But at the same time, it also made you realize how prevalent it was. Half of our race, as humans, messed with and abused and taken advantage of and, quite honestly, raped. And then told what to do by the other half. It's attaching a valuelessness to half the population of the world.
I was trying to imagine what it must feel like to be a woman. When power speaks to you as if you don't matter.
