This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I am becoming increasingly more appreciative of the fact that I have root access to "my" company provided work device.

My boss went so far as to buy Macs because we have "special needs" (we don't) because otherwise we'd be forced to use the corporate locked down crap. I'm not a big fan of macos (prefer Linux), but root access sure is nice.

I had to move to a Mac because of iOS development. Now I'm stuck with a Mac because the fucking thing refuses to break.

Wait till they learn about Jamf Pro and Mosyle 😜 (Well… granted they also have to deploy it correctly after..)

They did make us install Crowdstrike after 3-ish years of no spyware. We still have root access, they can just see every time I update my packages.
