From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As someone interviewing for Canonical's Security team (they make you do like 10 interviews, I'm like 5 deep over 3 weeks), I cannot imagine anyone security-minded writing that comment. It either:

  • Comes from higher up
  • Michal doesn't think security is important

Can you prove that your joining Canonical (picture proof), as you know, people can be anything in the internet while they're in their parent's basement.

If you are, what type of interview questions do they ask?

Are you this obnoxious to people you meet offline?

He has not joined yet. What is he supposed to prove?

[–] MrOzwaldMan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Proof that he is being interviewed by canonical, which he did send, which I am grateful for.

Ain't nothing wrong with asking for proof and you shouldn't be mad as anyone can be behind a username with or without a pfp.

@MrOzwaldMan first you attack someone then want an answer, interesting strategy

[–] MrOzwaldMan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I mean anyone can be behind a username with or without a pfp.

How would I know NoobMaster69 is a Google Software Engineer or a part time Janitor or a 9yo using ChatGOT

I mean sure, here you go. I'm in stage 3 of 4 right now:

Congrats, I hope you excel in your journey with canonical.
