That "support" (I.e. Donations) goes to politically well connected companies, burns some 20% on well-connected middlemen and has to be co-funded. Some first hand experience with how harmful and ineffective the donations are would

My telco cancelled roaming on data-only plans altogether in reaction. Such a huge win. Virtual operators, who don't get any roaming income, still have to pay high roaming fees to other telcos and now can't even charge their expens

Don't forget to include VAT at around 20% on everything you buy. That's the genius of VAT compared to US sales tax: even smart people don't see it. Close-to-50% total taxation is unfortunately pretty common in the West welfar

Again: union in the company you left of your own will (did you RTFA?) won't help you. Union in the company that won't hire you due to informal pressure won't help you either, because you aren't a member or working at th

Heck, they block you if you use Hurricane Electric's Tunnel Broker to get IPv6 connectivity, even if the endpoint is in the same country and even though a) TB clients have unique subsets and b) IPv6 geolocation is unreliable shit. And

My experience as well. They have the initial assumption that you're inexperienced (as is common in level 1 support and as I'm pretty sure they do for a good reason), but they are great at escalating, you don't have to ask the
