    The worst thing about the polyamorous community are the ridiculous puns.

    The best part is the group sex.

    I mean, sure, it’s a joke, but is it weird that I read that and thought “That’s kind of hot”?

      I think this is the way for satire. Exactly one obvious falsehood in a sea of stuff you can’t entirely discount.

      Actually no. Salesforce too. You know what I mean. The ratio is delicate.

    I don’t understand, do they have some kind of VPS with Jellyfin etc. via SSO / LDAP for their polyamorous group? And they even have a ticket system? How many people are they seeing? My chronically single ass is so confused rn.

      I legit sent this to my poly group because I’ve got more than a few technicals friend in there that would giggle about that.

      I almost tagged my old manager too, specifically because my throuple jokes about the number of people in their partner space. I can’t talk too much because she and I share more than a few partners 😅

      Yeah, as a single person I just download torrents from a torrents tracker, watch them locally, and delete afterwards if there are enough seeders besides me. Feels kinda zen compared to all the mess other people are doing.

        Honestly, calendaring is probably the hardest part. Managing the authentication and OU structure of a complicated polycule is simple in comparison

    Having a dedicated VPS with LDAP and SSO for your relationship is funny enough, but the fact that they just add Zs and Es as more Zoes are added to the system instead of just zoe1, zoe1, zoe3, etc is hilarious.

    I think the Greater Seattle Polycule is set up with all this stuff, and I wish I was joking.

    I think that not only is this real, it’s not even intended to be a joke.

    At least Portland’s transbian dating scheme has a few fissures in it that keep it from adopting a fucking enterprise model.

      Pornhub for Enterprise is not real. So either there was one random, awkwardly placed joke, or the entire thing is satire.

      The Greater Seattle Policule sounds like an anarchist faction in a post-apoc game I’d love to play.

      As someone who was part of the Greater Seattle Polycule, this is so close to reality I wouldn’t be surprised either if some people are up to stuff like this. Planning dates often required the type of schedule organizing you can only accomplish with office experience. Hell I bought an employee room locker to put in my apartment to keep everyone’s stuff organized. There’s enough trans tech workers that sometimes you wind up with an enterprise tool in the mix. I’ve never personally seen it implemented to this level but yeah, whether to be ironic or a legitimate organizational need I would not be surprised.

      We’d also share account access to media to the point where if there was a breakup with someone who had a high value account we’d organize who would take on a new account and if it needed group funded. I don’t even know who owned some of the accounts I had access to and I suspect I have an account gleefully chugging away being paid for by someone and it might not even be under my email anymore.

    Yeaaaah I was pretty sure “Pornhub for Enterprise” isn’t real, but still had to look it up. Could have fooled me otherwise.

    Especially because this ticks a lot of boxes for me. Well. Apart from the polycule.

      How do those links work? Does Google own the TLD for .go? I thought two letter TLDs were all country specific.

        In DNS and all Unix style host resolution generally (documentation on the file /etc/resolv.conf details this), all clients have a domain search list, usually set by your DHCP server, which for Google owned computers is obvs google.com, but it can be several domains.

        All they need is to set up an A record for go.google.com (its more likely googleplex.com) which runs a link shortener/expander site, and their employees can use the shorthand form of go/linkname for it to be expanded for them in their browser.

        They could also set an entry in every corporate computer’s local hosts file for ‘go’, and deploy it automatically using ansible, chef, etc. Or configure it in the company wide HTTP(S) proxy that all clients are configure to use. I forget now which method it is, and there are of course many other ways to do it than these.

        Anyway go/linkname is a huge part of their culture as mentioned by the other commenter, and I was also triggered seeing it.
