    I guess I will be cuttting my SAP stock out of my portfolio by requirement of my conscience. It’s so little that they won’t care, but it would leave a sour taste in my mouth. Truly disappointing.

    Corpos gonna corpo. I get the shift to EU based by EU plebs but at the end of the this is a class war. And a German parasite is still a patasite. Gonna need Ivermectin either way sooner or later.

    FOSS is the only viable path forward for the team peasant

      Millions affected

      Enduring unimaginable suffering

      Many Germans voluntarily supported it

      …SAP is pretty messed up. Still better than PeopleSoft

      Fucking Sanduhr Anzeige Programm.

      Hop over the border to Belgium and get Odoo. At least it’s open core and easy to customize, cheaper to run.

    Good thing everyone I know has been switching to Odoo from SAP. Hopefully Odoo doesn’t bow to Orange Oberkapo

      Odoo isn’t as prevalent in the US yet I believe. They have more to lose by pissing off EU.

      These aren’t normal times here in the US, so it’s hard to say.

      The federal government sent an executive order that all companies doing business with the government need to remove their diversity, equity, and accessibility programs in other to keep or win contracts. There is no legal requirement because this administration has been fundamentally avoiding legislation and ruling by presidential dictate instead. It’s probably not legally binding, but so far nobody has been able to force the government to obey the law.

          Obviously, but countries require companies doing business with their government or within their borders to follow their laws. In this particular case I don’t think it’s binding even within the US because of how it was demanded.
