Broadcom is scaling back their ingenious #VMware plan to *only* service their top 2000 customers and instead they're saying that now they're going to service only their top 500 customers.

I'm a longtime VMware user and customer (ESXi and Workstation) and I feel utterly shafted.

Leaving hundreds of thousands of small customers who *want to continue using and buying your product* twisting in the wind because...why?

I haven't even been able to access the licenses and products I had previously paid for since the acquisition, let alone buy anything. I feel like I was robbed blind. What the hell is this?

Welp, time to switch everything over to #Proxmox.

Broadcom alters plan to serve 2,000 strategic users itself

Now wants to work with 500 and lean more on partners to defend against migrations – which Dell says are on the cards

@mastodonmigration @chetwisniewski @LukaszOlejnik Thanks for doing this!

@MagentaRocks @briankrebs maybe they're behind 7 proxies!

@dangoodin @briankrebs Do you have any tips on doing Mastodon post embeds in Wordpress? I still see so many websites that have automated tools that will take a Xitr link and plop the tweet into the article styled like a pullquote. I'd like that same functionality for these posts.

@dangoodin @briankrebs concur. And I am going to take up the same idea, and put links to Masto posts in the blog.
