[–] Freshfrozenplasma@sh.itjust.works 88 points 3 years ago (5 children) Yeah, "sunsetting" is such trash corporate speak. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Nitrate55@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Corpo scum are allergic to saying exactly what they mean, so they insist on hiding their intent behind flowery words that sound "good" to them.

It’s one of the things I hate most in our capitalist dystopia. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Tak@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] damnYouSun@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 years ago Also he is using it wrong because "sunsetting" means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn't instantly turn off. But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning. They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they've already done it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buckeye@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) This made me realize I spend too much of my life reading and writing trash corporate speak because I breezed past most of this as yup, seems normal lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bozicus@lemmy.one 6 points 3 years ago I’m so sorry.
