Fedora Program Manager Laid Off As Part Of Red Hat Cuts

The best reply to this is from Myownfriend mentioned in a previous thread:

Why are so many people in this community a bunch idiotic, hateful, assholes?

sir, your comment is far more hateful than mine.

hence, you're also an idiot and an asshole because you don't even realize that you're doing the same thing you're criticizing.

Projection isn't going to work. All one need do is read your comment thread. It's quite obvious.

Definitely worth firing him and keeping all the fluff LinkedIn people. Not like Red Hat requires real engineering skills, rite?!

Rocky is the way forward. This ship has been slowly steering into an iceberg for half a century.

Rocky is owned by private entity compared to Alma Linux which is owned by non profit foundation . Not that I don't trust Rocky Linux owner (it was started by CentOS creator after all) but I prefer non profit foundation over private entity. Also what do you think will happen to the Rocky Linux (and other RHEL based distros as well) when RHEL will end?

As for the topic I was worrying that IBM will end Fedora and open source from Red Hat in general. I hope it's not the first step in that direction.

I know the Red Hat team claims they run/rule their own ship at IBM. Apparently none of that applies to Fedora though.

Antifa is bad because they're fascists. Just because their name is one thing doesn't make it so. Like, North Korea isn't a democracy and Germany wasn't socialist. Look past their branding. They're fascists because you have to do and say what they do. If you have a varying position you're instantly a bigot and vilified. I live in Arkansas surrounded by Christian Fascists so it's very easy for me to see that I'm trading one set of fascists for another set of fascists

Speaking of branding....instead of pronouncing Anti as Ant-eye, they pronounce it as Ant-ee because Ant-eye is negative and they want to be seen as a peace loving for all group while their name starts with Against. Like all groups like that, who will they be against next? Who will the next "Fa's" be?

Lmao this is the stupidest shit.. Anti means "against" whether you pronounce it an-tee or ant-eye. The reason that most people say an-tee is because the movement dates back to Anti-Fascist Action in Germany which is also where it was first shortened to Antifa. German, and most other languages, would not pronounce anti as ant-eye".

Also "You gotta do or say what they do". Says fucking who? lol They have no political power. They're masked communists, socialists, and anarchists that show up to physically fight far-right groups. Occasionally they will form actually groups like Rose City and the ones I mentioned before what are they tell you to do? What are their policies, Skeevy? Show me there list of demands and the repercussions that people had for not meeting those demands?

I'm a peace loving hippie and I'm afraid to speak my mind around Antifa people because of how hateful they are if you don't speak, act, and live in full wokeness.

1. You're not around Antifa people to have to worry about them.
2. Go find a group of Antifa and tell them about your hippy values of being anti-war, anti-racist, and pro-sexual freedom and they're not gonna touch you lol You realize that they have medics with them and will even treat the people they're fighting right? Lol

Watch the South Park episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance." The people in the death camp forcing them to make rainbows are Antifa.

And there's the reference to South Park. Idiots can't seem to talk about their personal politics without referencing a South Park episode. When reality fails to give you any good examples what you think, just reference a fictional story written by libertarians.

How is that crying? Are you upset? Perhaps you're crying... and then projecting?

If Fedora fails, IBM will just roll out another beta testing program.

Like Oracle did with Solaris? How's that going again?

IBM couldn't even stick to their own Lotus Notes when they bought it. The structure of the company is a mess. Kyndryl is still heavily dependent on them even though the spin-off was supposed to be complete 2 years ago. By all accounts, most of the common business clients got pushed to Kyndryl, while only major database clientele are kept under the IBM umbrella because IBM is just a Big Data company now. They're looking to monetize it all with government and advertising partnerships. Kyndryl was spun off and doomed to failure with the new board, who've been cutting staff down to skeleton crews. Canada has only 2 account managers left and many more in the US were cut. Even entire teams in India were cut and clientele were told to take a hike. They're destroying it from the inside because they just don't want the clients anymore. Just like you're seeing with the banks right now. IBM is a sloth. They'll last a long time so long as there's governments and technocratic megalopolys that want all your data.

There. Fixed it for you.

I have to support skeevy420 here, Antifa is just an extremist organisation that employs all mechanisms that they condemn as evil. They have burned books and videogames (the last ones that did this in large scale were the Nazis).

2. Go find a group of Antifa and tell them about your hippy values of being anti-war, anti-racist, and pro-sexual freedom and they're not gonna touch you

The antifa in my town just fought a few people that were peacefully demonstrating against the ukrainien war and our government that sends weapons there. And they are full of hate against white hetero men. This makes them racist, pro war and sexist.

You realize that they have medics with them and will even treat the people they're fighting right?

Are you serious? How deluded has one to be to write such a sentence and belive in it? Beeing anti war and fighting others?
Josef Mengele also healed some of his victims after heavily mutilating them. That doesn't make him "Antifa", he's still an evil fascist.

I'm with you on this from what I have observed. Although I have become more conservative over the years, ultimately I am pretty moderate and am willing to look at various view points, able to "hold" and "sit" with contradictions, etc.

I feel like extremist groups, whether on the left or right, act as surrogates for people that lack deeper meaning in their own lives, sort of in a Viktor Frankl "Man’s Search for Meaning" way. These groups tend to be cult-like, in that they attract the lost be purportedly offering up some sort of meaning, but that meaning tends to be misguided and lacking when looked at from a more "sane" perspective.

No reason to argue about this with anyone, as anyone who is caught up in such "cult-like" thinking will have their very deep "sense of self" threatened by such arguments and as such tend to lash out against such things. On a psychological and emotional level, a threat to one's sense of self is akin to a grave physical threat is to one's physical survival, and we know the ways people react to that.

There you have it, my take on the matter.
