The flood of #enshittification that #Broadcom unleashed upon #VMware and its customers after acquiring it, and its seismic waves in the whole IT supply chain, are a testament of how bad managers who seek for short-term revenue hikes without thinking of the long-term are a cancer, and walking ticking bombs for the tech industry.

https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/15/dell_vmware_claim_tesco_case/

We all know what Broadcom did to VMware after acquiring it. VMware was turned overnight into Broadcom’s cash cow, they hiked prices by 3x in some cases, scrapped perpetual licenses, forced all customers into more expensive subscriptions, said that they only wanted to focus on the most profitable customers and fuck everyone else, all while worsening customer support and providing literally zero added value and features to the product.

Basically a parasitic acquisition solely focused on sucking all the vital lymph out of another product - pure Oracle textbook.

When you play such stunts with individual customers, unfortunately, it works most of the times. Individuals don’t have much leverage, nor choice if there is too much concentration in a certain market. They may complain, but often they swallow the bitter bite.

Things are different when you play them in huge corporate products that are an integral part of the IT infrastructure we all use.

It turns out that among the businesses who were disgruntled when Broadcom suddenly cancelled their VMware perpetual licenses there was Tesco.

But Tesco didn’t acquire VMware licenses directly from Broadcom, of course. They acquired them through a reseller of hardware and software licenses - Computacenter. So Tesco sued them instead for failing to provide them the licenses that they were contractually bound to provide.

Computacenter, on its hand, didn’t acquire VMware licenses directly either. They were provided with the Dell servers they sold, as Dell was an authorized VMware reseller. So Computacenter sued Dell.

Dell, on its hand, says that it has no fault if Broadcom has suddenly changed VMware’s pricing model, and that they are the ones who broke contracts with the whole downstream supply chain. So Dell sued Broadcom.

And there we go. A chain of 3 lawsuits between 4 giants across the whole IT supply chain in order to call a parasitic company accountable.

What a mess. But I guess that the manager who proposed to squeeze annual recurring revenue got his/her fat quarterly bonus home after things seemed to work for the first year.

This is also your daily reminder that as a sysadmin you must use only FOSS products supported by the community and by strong foundations - and contribute back to them once their success becomes your success too.

Enough with the “but stability - but support - but licenses - but my manager” corporate bullshit.

The cost of writing your own little qemu CI/CD pipeline to spin up your virtual machines is much lower than the risk of your corporate subscription getting suddenly enshittified by chains of wrong financial incentives at any place in your upstream supply chain, and having to spend years of tears on expensive long-chain lawsuits.

And, even if things go bad, the cost of migrating out of proprietary and non-standard implementations is usually much higher than the cost of migrating to a compatible fork.

Think it's time for a #AskFedi knowledge share...

Can people name some decent non-US #PC and #laptop manufacturers?
Extra points if they try not to use US components as well (i.e. Intel)

Obviously we have @tuxedocomputersTUXEDO , @starlabssystems and @slimbookSLIMBOOK (Official) to start
And for the sake of mentioning, we have Fujitsu, Minisforum as moderately popular off the shelf brands.

But does anyone have any other to add to the list?

Sorry, US friends

People scraping #atproto, how do you deal with foreign key constraints? For example, it's impossible to block users from making duplicated bsky like records for same post. But relational DBs usually expect unique "like" records.

I love how many people on social media or HN are asking if one of the most respected devs in FOSS world working on one of the most widespread and deeply critical projects on the internet, has tried ${some generic simple approach to AI SLOP}.

They act as if he's some random noob who has no idea what he’s doing. For God’s sake, the guy holds many prestigious awards from Europe and elsewhere. Do you really think he is unaware of other solutions or believes he’ll be left behind because of AI?
