I don’t think people truly understand how bad it is.

15 years ago I helped do a PCI/SOX compliance evaluation for a company looking to go public.

They had PWC in there with kids fresh out of college, no computer experience, and they would sit at the desk with the admins and say, “show me your Active Directory password policy”. Ok, looks good. CHECK

Why don’t you have this configured? I’d hear an alarming bullshit reason. Ok, we can exempt that. CHECK

I could go on and on and on with how bad it was.

And they bragged to potential investors. We are PCI/SOX complaint.


The big four are by far the worst.


How does this add to the conversation?

The constant history lesson of what something was 80-90 years ago but they aren’t that way anymore but they were doesn’t advance the conversation especially when it has no impact on the actual topic.


Adding some context, that they were started out with pretty harmful intentions, to the discussion about how they are harmful today is very on topic.

Today's HOAs are very frequently involved in racial discrimination suits for violations of the Fair Housing Act.


>Today's HOAs are very frequently involved in racial discrimination suits for violations of the Fair Housing Act.

No they're not.


Sorry, that wasn't my opinion I was trying to debate, that's just a fact reported by HUD[1].

>Sorry, that wasn't my opinion

Ah, so it's a delusional belief not based on facts or reality.

>that's just a fact reported by HUD

Categorically false claim not made in your source. The linked article makes zero claims about HOAs being "very frequently involved in racial discrimination suits for violations of the Fair Housing Act."


I bet this is the guy on the call who has to correct someone who calls them SSL certs.

Excuse me, they are TLS certs.

Thanks Arialdomartini, as I was saying… we need to renew the SSL Certs

"Did you know there's no pumpkin in pumpkin spice?"

"Next you're going to tell me what's not in baby powder, aren't you?"


Many, many people are still in a state of denial.

IBM did this correctly.

IBM develops and sells Storage Products, so we are going to take the engineering teams that development and maintain those storage products because, you know, it just makes sense.

We maintain and develop Power, etc. so it only makes sense that we move all development for RHEL, OpenShift, Ansible, Satellite, etc on Power, etc to IBM because, you know, it makes sense.

Why do we have two HR, Legal, etc teams? Those teams are joining Red Hat Jan 1, because, you know, it makes sense.

And so on and so on, and many Red Hatters just said, "Yea that does make sense".

Suddenly, someone pointed out that in a year and half span, 1/4th of the company will move to Red Hat leaving Engineering, Sales, and Support and 1/3rd of Sales is moving as well and, only then, did the rest of Red Hat say, "Holy Shit!"


Then why don't they do it now?

SUSE cannot replace Red Hat. This is the irony of OpenELA. They are a scavenger that relies on the work Red Hat does. Suse, Oracle, CQI, etc are going to suddenly come up with hundreds of millions of dollars to replicate Red Hat's Engineering team to maintain and develop all of these packages?

No. And you know that.


I do not know that. Read my original comment.

Either SUSE or Oracle have sufficient funding to do so.


Oracle? Who is laying off people and bleeding money due to their over zealous AI spending?

SUSE, which made 50M in profits last year, is going to onboard 5K Software Engineers, develop build systems, cover infrastructure costs, and still make a profit?

So you do know, you just don’t want to admit it.


To you?

No.


Liberty Linux is repackaging Red Hat work that is mostly visible in CentOS Stream. It doesn't have any original engineering. Same for Oracle.


If you are too dumb or too lazy to figure out what this guy has, then you are the problem and will be looked at as a relic.

Watching the AI slop my sales reps put in their emails is disgusting but the reply telling them how great of a job they are doing and how insightful their email was says differently.

Many people are laughing to the bank while you are still running `--help` to figure out how to run a complex command.


Maybe it's you that needs to learn how to run `--help` or ask an AI how to not cry about burnout on open source instead? I don't get it, you should just be cruising on auto-pilot now.

The problem is retards that can only function on a cocktail of drugs, and as they were never good at anything other than anal retentive stuff built and continue to build these retarded systems. Those peddling RoR apps even when they couldn't serve more than 3 or 4 concurrent requests, JS backends to handle complex workflows that even after 2 years of dev. still have bugs and accrued a sprawl of crap to hide the issues of their own making, etc, and yet charge thousands of dollars, those that write shit software that's not even worth to clean your ass with, even though they have 20 years of experience, but then go give conferences and write books about their amazing architectural skills, those that write utils behind the "oh, it's open source, if you don't like it just fork it" and due to marketing get their crap everywhere, while making holes everywhere for their paycheques. Or the nepo babies that need their mexico border run to get their fix so they can have these "humanity changing" ideas? I bet they're the same that before would weasel a 2 week sprint to change the borders of a button. Or burn through 10k in meetings for irrelevant crap. Or get VC funding for a CSS styling company or a two prompt company. Or go on about the value of ideas, but then can't even get that going without outsourcing or an AI to help them have those same "ideas".

Ultimately, you just need to turn into a little pig and party in the pigsty, it's not that difficult either, they say pigs are very close anatomically to humans.

At least AI can help untangle the crap the anal retentive retards have built, and thank god, the pig-mor, this society can't even fuck to replacement levels (perhaps they'll manage now with AI).


Typical FOSS hypocrite.

Mad that “free” software has to be paid by someone.
