It's like saying Julius Caesar is dead for over sixty years. Technically true.

That's a job for THE MIDDLE MANAGER!! (imagine a crappy super hero)

No, seriously, do not step over your boss to talk to theirs. That's like, the job your boss has, and they might get pissed at you, and, depending on pettiness level, make your life worse. Talk to your boss, explain how and why that's a problem. Make it clear you expect them to solve it.

If and only if they say they can't do anything, you may consider talking to your boss' boss. But not the other team's boss. Before doing that, I'd have hard financial evidence, like the other commenter suggested. Log your hours in their time buckets for at least a month, get others to join you in doing the same, get a report with total amount spent. Then you turn again to your boss and maybe include boss².

I don't agree but I don't disagree sanguinely. Solid normie ranking.

I think you're misunderstanding it. Most mobile apps have sensible defaults regarding data and battery usage, for instance, not updating (their feeds/server status/whatever networked service the app uses) if not in WiFi.

The power of the anecdote!

I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?

If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don't get a say in it. None of your business.

This pleb thinks we should listen to them. Frankly, this neighborhood is done for!

It makes me sad we didn't collectively agree on using tabs for all indentation so people can set their preferred indentation size in their editors.

That said, consistency trumps philosophy.

I like how you describe the Don't Care licenses, aka permissive licenses. A lot of people fall for the narrative that more strict licenses are a burden for other open source developers, and then regret their decision when Evil Corp does what they usually do.
