I just got this bill from #microsoft for #github usage.

@paco They charged you a penny per asterisk.

[north@xn--8r9a.com]

@paco those asterisks sure are doing a lot of work

[frobozz@tty0.social]

@paco If free usage costs $0.02, it is not, in fact, free. That said, I will happily deliver two pennies, or a whole pocket-full, to One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA, on your behalf, as soon as I find my old wrist rocket. There's a halfway decent 24 hour burrito place, a few blocks away . . .

@paco the real story is github was up long enough to send an invoice

[chillybot@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w
Damn asterisk inflation

@paco

Load bearing asterisks*

@paco There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Every little counts.

Shitty as ever Micro$oft!

[khurtwilliams@indieweb.social]

@paco just go with the paid plan. It’s cheaper.

@paco anomaly... dun dun de du dun

[grantmestrength@hachyderm.io]

@frobozz which burrito place?

[frobozz@tty0.social]

@GrantMeStrength California Mexican Food, in what used to be a Burger King. Just about any taco truck is a better bet during the day, but late at night or early in the morning, CMF is definitely preferable to either Taco Bell or Aliberto's.

[grantmestrength@hachyderm.io]

@frobozz sadly don’t think it’s still there.

[kanamauna@sauropods.win]

@paco

If I may put my two cents in, this is a poorly designed invoice.

[andrew773@mastodon.online]

@paco they don't call it MIcro$oft for nothing.
